Picked up a Powermatic 95 scroll saw off craigslist for my son for Christmas. He has a 1950's Craftsman saw at the moment that is getting passed along to his younger brother. The two boys make wooden animal puzzles by the dozen.

I paid $150 for the saw and so far it runs very nicely. It has a lot of weight to it, runs quietly, cuts cleanly, etc. There is a small air compressor piston attached to the drive which blows air on the work piece to clear the dust from the cut. Every few minutes a small drop of oil will drip from the airline which of course makes a huge mess of the work piece. I know nothing about how these air systems work. Anyone ever use one of these types of saws? Does this mean the compressor assembly needs overhauled, or is there some seal that can be easily replaced.

Cheers,
