Vintage scroll saw

I recently picked up an old scroll saw and it has an oil reservoir. It at least needs some cosmetic work to be done. I haven't had a chance to look at it closely, but your accessories may be part of an oil delivery system, as they look like a type of spigots.

Additionally, a few years ago I bought a 16" jointer at the State surplus auction. It came with "accessories" that didn't go with the jointer.

Hmmm, not sure, but I'll look for an oil reservoir. Perhaps your second statement this more on point.
I don't understand the winged clamping mechanism.

This thread may be of some future help.

Oil Leak In Old Scroll Saw

Hello; I have an old scroll saw that I am trying to get up and running. After changing the oil in the lower part of the unit, I got it going and it started to pump oil up around the shaft that moves the blade up and down. Needless to say it was not a happy moment. After looking at a lot of...

just a thought but my scroll saw has attachments for various blade

What does the plate on the motor say? Brand? I'd say they are blade clamps, maybe for wide blades or maybe don't even go with that saw.

First step would be to determine maker of saw and go from there.

Is this your saw?

Yeah Frank, that appears to be my saw, except that my version has a blower and plastic tube on the backside, where the picture shows a Driver Line label, to blow away saw dust.

This is a list of Walker Turner manuals, lots of rainy day reading:

my vote is blade clamps so you can use pinless blades. Pinless are really necessary for fine fret work. I use two old scroll saws and frankly, the pinned blades do everything I need. I just gave away a 1930's or 1940's Dunlap (Sears) scroll saw.

An interesting note: Back in the 1930's and 1940's, they were called jig saws. In the 1950's saber saws came out and were called scroll saws by some makers. Sometime around 1960 to 1970, the names switched. What was in 1930 called a jig saw is now a scroll saw. What was in 1950 called a saber saw was also called a scroll saw. is now a jig saw. If a saber saw motor extends in line with the blade, it is called a reciprocating saw.. Are we confused yet?
