blights69 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 After seeing so many comments on these Pegas blades I thought I would give them a go so bought the modified and some spirals too. The mg ones are very nice and found they cut very well I tried on lots of material from album vinyl to cherry. I even stacked some ply to over an inch and they still performed ok. The spiral ones I am not to sure on I have a Hegner so not a top loader I found the spiral blades are very brittle and snapped quite a few whilst trying to get through drill hole from underneath any slight bend in the blade and snap where as the Olsen ones I use are much more flexible so yes the MG ones are good and I will be buying more but the spiral blades they are too brittle and not for me but may be fine if you have top loader saw I guess.

David Lehner Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 The more I use them the better I like Pegas blades. I am in full agreement .... I feel the same .... the more I use them the more i like them.... they seem easier to control than some blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lehner Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Based on some good reviews on the forum, I ordered a dozen each of the 2/0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 12 modified geometry blades. I will probably end up using mostly the #3s and the #5s but I wanted a bunch of sizes to experiment with. They were back ordered on the #5 for a bit but are now on their way. Can't wait to try them out. I ordered all sizes also... I have been using the pegas blades for over a week and really like the blades... so far I have been doing some smaller detail cutting on some clock pieces and have been using the #3 blades (modified geometry) with great results..... It looks like the Pegas blades may become my "go to" blades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Ha, why am I always out of sync with everyone. I have tried the Pegas blades several times now, and for what I was doing, they were way too aggressive for me. I always seem to go back to my Penguin Silver blades.

Sam777 Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I got 2 doz of the 3 and 5 sizes. So I tried the 3 yesterday but I couldn't figure out which way is up on the blade. It seems like half of the teeth go up and half down. So I made a few cuts and the blade kept grabbing the wood up, i had a hard time holding it down. So I thought I may have had the blade upside down. Any comments on my experience??? Thank you Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackman Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Know what you mean. That is what is nice about the FD UR having the climp at the top of the blade. With the pegas blade I slide my thumb down the blade and which ever way has the least drag is down. Sam777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campasano Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 I just received my shipment of Pegas Modified Geometry blades and I tried the #5 this morning and was pleased with the ease of cutting thru 1/2" Red Oak. It cut smoothly and was amazed on how the blade followed the line throughout my cutting,staight and curved lines. After 2 hours of constant cutting the blade was just getting some what dull. This will be my brand of blades from now on. It has my vote of confidence. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Sam 777, I found the best way to figure out which end is up, is to lay the blade on my saw table. Bam! Right away, I can tell. I do have a hard time if I hold it up and try to decipher up or down. Hope this helps. I'm currently working on a clock that is all 1/4" Baltic birch. I'm using the modified geometry #3, and it works well and lasts longer than any of the other blades that I have. Sam777 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Matt, I don't see anyone else complaining about the up/down orientation of these blades. I guess it is JUST me. I will follow your way of checking the direction of the teeth. Thanks again Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Nope, it's not you, it sometimes is difficult to decipher it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lehner Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I agree with Gonzo ...I also hold a piece of white paper behind the blade especially with smaller teeth to make it easier to see When I open a new bundle I figure out which end is the top and then put the remaining blades in the holder with the top up.... they all come out the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to start doing that as well. Sometimes the smallest things, make time at the saw more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
