    Default Any simple way to fit air nozzle

    Hello brains trust.
    I have a Hyco gooseneck scrollsaw. It is a great machine, stable, quiet and powerful.
    Unfortunately the air blower system is defunct.
    So I am trying to retrofit an aquarium air pump. So far so good.
    But I am stuck with how to make/fit adjustable nozzle.
    I have seen a loc-line kit that looks good, on Amazon.
    But before I go down that path, I thought I'd put it out here to see if there are any other ideas.
    All input appreciated.

    I used copper tubing small enough to go in rubber tubing.

    Get a hold of some copper wire of a decent size. 2.5mm² solid should work. Your friendly local sparky will have an offcut.
    Wrap it around the plastic tube tight enough so that the tube will stay where you point it.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.

    I agree.
    If I can figure it out I'll fix them.
    Photo files are right side up but transfer incorrectly....
