Is it hard to change blades?

Rick R.I may have given the wrong information to you. I thought your inquiry was for the Shop Fox Band Saw that I have. For the Scroll Saw, all you have to do is loosen the back knob on top to loosen the blade, once this is done just push down on the lever arm and remove the blade. Install the new blade in the blade holders just like you removed them, making sure the teeth of the blade run in the right direction (down). This should do it.Oren Wood Restoration.

I find it very easy, I change blade width and teeth number quite frequently. All you need is enough light to see the bottom attachment.

It is very tricky...but just set it on the edge with the little connections on back in place. You may have to check it at times. Once it is in place, you can then replace the blade. Also, make sure the one end of the brush is at the end (left end)...this will help align it in place better.

I heard that you can, but I never have. I think they sell just the blades on the website so it must be doable.

Not hard at all, your instructions will show you how to change it over. Or you can call Jet, a great bunch of guys.

You can find use videos on line or read through the customer reviews on Amazon (some of which mention how to change the blades). I did not find any English instructions.

Yes, loosen the two screws on the old blade and remove the blades, then replace them with these new blades. You should have no problem at all.

Very easy. Hold on to the mixing blades with a dish cloth or something to protect your hands and simply unscrew the rubber gear (may have to use pliers, but i was able to do it by hand). At that point you can screw on the new one.

In my opinion, blade changes are pretty easy - no better or worse than any other bandsaw I've ever used. The guide adjustments are pretty straightforward, with thumbscrews for most adjustments. A ball-end allen wrench is useful for adjusting the roller bearings that set the blade thickness.

No it doesn't. To change blades one needs to place the blade on a block of wood (or similar) to stop it from rotating. However, if one doesn't need to change blades often, that shouldn't be a major issue.

The blades are very durable and replaceable. if you do happen to damage one they are pretty easy to swap out.

I searched the web for replacement blades and realized how expensive they were. So, I chose to look on Ebay and find aftermarket ones there. The only thing about using them is they do not adapt to the thumb press release to change blades. You have to use a screw and tightly secure the blade in place. But, the replacements from Ebay are worth the extra "trouble" to use and just as good a blade as Porter Cable.

The blades don't require a wrench to change. They will just pop off with your fingers, but a friend of mine had to replace one of his motors, and he said they were quite hard to get out of the frame without a wrench. I think that is what the wrench is for.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

At one time they came with the replacement, don't know if they still do. Here's a link to eHow instructions. Read more : http://www.ehow.com/how_6448756_change-remington-foil-blades.htmlRead more : http://www.ehow.com/how_6448756_change-remington-foil-blades.html

Changing the blade and adjusting the upper guide is not very difficult. The lower guide is more difficult because it's under the table and hard to tighten the guide once the position is set. The directions for adjusting the blade tension are very subjective.

Not really. The handle is fixed; the head is pretty much fixed. But you can change the blades.

The quick answer is "easily."Remove the old blade, line up the star pattern on the blade with the spline, and reinstall. Be sure to install with the "fingers" on the blade facing up! ☺
