I am changing the upper blade holder on my Makita scroll saw. They are held on with a “roll pin” Hollow pin made of a short length of flat rolled into a hollow pin. Removal is my question. How to push the pin out. Probably not a good description but…. Brian |

Brian, I’d just use a punch. If you want to, you can buy or make a roll pin punch |

In the past I used an old drill bit for a punch, until I realized how much a woodworker needed a set of roll pin punches. I’ve had to make this same repair myself and the pin comes out easy with a punch. -- I don't make mistakes, I have great learning lessons, Greg |

I think I need to unbolt the saw from the stand and lay it on it’s side. I was uncomfortable hitting the nail I cut and flattened very hard in the unsupported upright position. I did not want to hit the arm too hard. The chain removal tool was also a thought but the saw’s arm is too thick to use mine. I assume the punch needs to fit out side of the pin’s hole and smaller than the hole the pin fits into. Brian |
