orangeman Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 Pegas Blade Chuck Heads fit these scrollsaws: Pègas Models SCP16, SCP21 & SCP30 Excalibur Models EX16, EX21 & EX30 Axminster Trade Series EX-16, EX-21 & EX-30 Carbatec Models CTEX-16CEC, SS-400C, CTEX-21CEC, SS-530C, CTEX-30CEC & SS-760C Excelsior 16", 21" & 30" Seyco ST-21 Jet JWSS-22 Steve Good also installed these Chuck Heads on a DeWalt 788 but said Pegas does not support that application. Now I'm wondering if there is any way to install on Hawk or Hegner saws? It sure would make blade changing easier! bb OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I do not see why the Dewalt saw would be left off because those saws you listed all use the same head design. They are all basic clones of each other. As far as the Hawk I see no reason to want to use them because the Hawk is probably the easiest clamping system available and most reliable for constant blade use. It goes into clamp only one way and no adjusting needed when set up properly and ease of change. Buy several clamps and can preload for even faster change over. Just my opinion. amazingkevin and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 I can see no way you could adapt those clamps to a Hegner. Having and loving my Hegner, I see no reason to want to. If I strip the threads or something on my clamps I just buy a new clamp which is a lot cheaper than the any of the clamps on the saws listed. I have extra and can pre-load blades. And the clamps are steel with a steel screw. Little chance I will strip the threads, which is much easier to do with a steel bolt going into aluminum. I'm happy. May get a set of those clamps for my Seyco though.... someday. OCtoolguy and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLarry Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 You can pre-order the Pegas heads for DW788 and Delta 40-694 here. If they fit the 788 I am almost certain they will fit the Delta 40-690 also. https://www.bearwood.com/product6155.html Larry OCtoolguy and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why other than a discount for pre-ordering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephenDinesen Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 The Pegas chuck heads with lever and without will work on the DeWalt 788 and the similar Delta. Reviews at bearwood.com/scrollsaw OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzarkSawdust Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 They also fit a King 16". I really like mine. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bconn Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 I ordered just the blade holders from qtne.com for my DW788 and I really like them. They are holding up much better than dewalts. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sorry, but Fedido got the last one in stock and with the SSV special a good deal. More on order, but not sure when they will arrive. OCtoolguy and Fedido 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodmaster1 Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 I put them on my Delta 40-694 and they are a great improvement over the standard blade clamps used on the Dewalt or Delta scrollsaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
