Bellows Needed.
« on: June 18, 2014, 03:09:07 pm »
After a long time sitting under my bench I pulled my scroll saw out and found the bellows have perished.

It is a Timbercon 16" FSS16B, I contacted Timbecon ( Aust Company) who cannot help me.

Being a generic brand it is probably available in your part of the world in a different colour.
Hoping someone can help me.

Why do you want to blow dust?  If you put it into the air, which happens when you blow it, it goes into your lungs, and that isn't good.  Here is the links to another forum where I have posted a solution to blowing dust.

I hope I don't get in trouble but I don't know how to post it here.

Good Luck

Thanks for your reply, I never thought of sucking the dust through that tube. Great idea.

You can always use an aquarium pump with some 1/4" tubing to serve in place of the bellows.

That saw kinda looks like a spin off of the craftsman I have and use to use, mine didn't last long and I resorted to the aqaurium pump, but make sure you get the bigger ones for the 50+ gallon tanks the small one just doesn't cut it.

It probably is, Here in Aust you can buy this same saw in four differant colours depending on what company you go to.

Definitely  aqaurium pump will be the way to go.
