You need to find out what style it is. Look at the shanks that hold the bits in and see what is stamped on them.

You don't happen to be related to...  Oh, never mind that.;)

If you would complete your profile to let us know where you are, we can make some helpful suggestions.   Menominee Saw is likely to have the info you need.   Regards, Clark

If they're Disston bits, they'll be difficult to get.  They're not made anymore.
