i have an air compressor for airbrushes that will work out well i think and as far as the blade holders go they are pretty simple i'm sure it wouldnt take much to make them a little easier to use just gotta spend some time doing it lol. i'd put the quality of the machine somewhere around that of grizzly's products. my wifes grandmother really did some beautiful work with it. i like how quiet is is compared to other machines i have used in the past well save for the cabinet it is sitting on right now that makes a really odd noise when i cut on it its acting like a drum but i digress thats just what came under it i'm currently looking for a design of stand i like

i took off the top bit because the bellows is shot and when i break a blade it makes alot of noise i'm going to put an aquarium pump or airbrush compressor hookup on it with some loc-line for a blower instead of the bellows this beats the crap out of my old ryobi 16'' from the early '90's lol

i've got a 22" AMT that was given to me by my wife's grandparents the thing works great was wondering if anyone else still had one of these or used one in the past and had any ideas or suggestions as to making it more user friendly for fretwork. i might have a machinist friend of mine take a gander at the blade holders and come up with something easier to use. just wondering if there were any ideas out there.
