I saved a Powermatic model 87 bandsaw from the metal dumpster at my former job (obvious gloat :)). I'm trying to find a flexible airline to replace the original for the optional chip blower. It's Powermatic part number 8718 is 24" long and has roughly 3/8" in diameter male brass end with 32 treads per inch that screws into the frame.
It's no longer available on the Powermatic site. A part number search came up empty there.
The closest thing I can find is a scroll saw flex hose at http://www.pswood.com/product.php?productid=848&cat=18&page=1 but it's only 7" in length. I could get by with it being a little shorter but this ones just too short.
Hopefully some good Samaritan will see this and let me know where to find the perfect fit for my saw. :)
