Old Craftsman Scroll saw, # 103-0404 or 103-0403

Not bad for $25!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

We’ve got the same one in our used tool store. Sorry, no literature came in with it. But here’s something you might find interesting: It came in with hundreds of home-made blades cut from old bandsaws blades. Since the blade just clamps in at top and bottom, any flat blade will work. So from one cheap bandsaw blade you’ve got several scroll saw blades.

Hi Bob,
I have the 103.0403 manual which I can scan and E mail to you if you are interested. My dad bought this in 1936 for $7.95 from Sears and I am still using it. We will probably have to do some computer restoration as it is faded. Hope this helps.

I recently rescued a 103.0403 from a basement in Chicago, IL
It belonged to my wife’s grandfather. I am restoring it to use in my workshop and could also use a copy of the manual. If anyone knows where I can locate a replacement dust boot or what type of oil to use in the sump, please respond.

Jim,
I have a copy of the manual that woodwrkr4u emailed me. go to my profile and send me your email address so I can send it. The oil for the sump is 40 wt. motor oil. That’s what the book said.
