No this is not a super-secret poison injection assassination ring. It actually serves a purpose for us scroll saw users.
Some of you are going to write to me and thank me for this tool. Others are going to write to me and say "I have absolutely no need for this thing.". Either way is fine. Those of you who do not have a problem bottom-feeding a scroll saw blade on a large board, more power to you. Many people, including myself, get annoyed trying to line up the blade and the hole when bottom feeding on a large board. Small boards are not a problem. When the entry hole is large it is not a big problem. When the board is large and the interior hole is less than a millimeter then it gets tougher.
The video below shows the tool in action. Give it a look and see what you think. If it looks like something that might be useful to you then it only takes ten minutes to make one and give it a try.
This is one of those projects that will probably generate tons of emails for me. I am happy to hear your thoughts and different approaches. I learn a great deal when I hear from you folks. I am not easily offended so if you think it is useless then let me know. If you give it a try and find it the best thing since sliced bread then I accept hundred dollar bills, gold bullion, and well feed cattle as thanks.

The Dust Deputy Deluxe Anti-Static Cyclone Separator 5 Gallon Kit
The Dust Deputy Cyclone is the best accessory I have purchased for my shop vac. It improves it in some many ways. Watch the video below to see it in action.
- Plastic / Metal/100 %
- Made in USA
- INCREASED SUCTION POWER - Now 20% more efficient with Neutral Vane Technology, Oneida Air Systems' patented Dust Deputy cyclone uses centrifugal force to capture and remove 99% of dust and debris from the air-stream before it reaches your vacuum filter, eliminating clogged filters and suction loss!
- LONGER LIFESPAN – Prevents fine dust and large debris from reaching your dust filter, reducing the need for cleanings and prolonging the lifespan of your filter. The Dust Deputy Deluxe will save you countless time and money on expensive replacement vacuum filters and dust bags, allowing you to keep working harder, longer, and safer than ever!
- WET OR DRY – This simple and efficient design can be adapted for use with any make, size, or model wet/dry vacuum and features tapered 2.0" ports for secure fittings using a variety of dust collection hose sizes. Portable design can be mounted directly to the vacuum. Works with most materials: Wood dust, drywall dust, concrete dust, clay/silica dust, blasting soda, cooled ash & soot, water, metal shavings, baking flour, grass & leaves, pet/animal hair, pharmaceutical waste, and much more!
- MADE IN AMERICA – Comes with everything you need to convert your wet/dry vacuum into a two-stage, dust-free system. Including the AS cyclone, SD hose, elbow adapters, 5 gallon buckets, caster wheels, gasket, and mounting hardware.
