My scroll saw is a Delta 40-540. Today I decided to put oil on the moving parts for the first time in a long while.
On this unit the lower arm is driven by the motor through a short link and the movement is transferred to the upper are through another link at the ends of the arms. I discovered there is quite a lot of play 1/4' or a bit more in that connection.I'm sure that's not the way it's supposed to be.Has anyone replaced this part on their Delta?
And if so is there info you could share?Thanks for reading. It should be just a matter of removing two special screws, and then install a new connector link. After that is done, just install two new screws, or, use the ones that came off of it. I highly recommend getting new screws for it, the old ones probably have a ridge in them from all of the use the saw has seen. While your at it, you should also check the pivot screws to see what kind of shape they are in. If they show much wear, now is the time to change them while the saw is apart.
Plus they should be removed to grease them. The grease I use is called Red & Tacky#2, it is red, and it is very tacky which you want it to be. It comes in a tube the same as other grease does, and to apply it, I use a large sringe with a dull needle. I hope this helps.

Oh yeah, all of the parts that you need shouldn't be very expensive, at least they weren't when I bought them a few years ago.Len Edited July 29, 2015 by Lucky2.
