John B Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) The set of Pegas blade clamps that I ordered from QTE turned up today. Took 3 days from the time I ordered to hit Melbourne from the US then 11 days from Melbourne to Kal. Aussie post's stage must of thrown a wheel or a couple of the horses dropped dead Easy to fit and set up on the Ex21. Tensioning is a breeze, I never thought they could improve on the original Excalibur system, but !. Locating the blade and tightening the thumb screws seems easier. They are pretty and they came packaged in a plastic box fit for the crown jewels, shame it just has to go in the bin. Came just in the nick of time as the original lever was beginning to let go every so often this morning.' Edited May 14, 2019 by John B By the grammer and spelling I must of had few beers before making that post :) wombatie, lawson56, Rolf and 6 others 6 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 So that's why my orders take so long to get to the customer.. They almost always make it to Australia in just a few days .. but then they set somewhere for several more... Mail a lot of car clocks over there.. Must be big into the classics over there..LOL Those Pegas clamps are awesome.. love mine.. I truly believe I'd have sold my saw had I not bought that upgrade.. I just couldn't get the hang of those stock EX clamps.. WayneMahler, John B and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 They are nice clamps. I held out for a long time before I finally broke down and ordered some. Even after I put them on my Seyco, I thought ,,, nice, but really, what's all the fuss about ..? They are just clamps. Now that I have used them a while.... humm, sure would hate to go back to the original ones. The originals would seem very big and clumsy. In fact if I had to replace them for some reason,,, I don't think I would put the old ones back on, I would get another set of the Pegas.

WayneMahler Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I may be one of last few holding out. I think from all I read when mine go I'll order a set and join the club. OCtoolguy, John B and Scrolling Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once installed and in use, I was very happy that I made the decision to buy them. My saw didn't suffer from excessive vibration but after I installed the Pegas clamps, it became even smoother. I'm like Paul in that if they broke or wore out, I'd buy another set. John B and WayneMahler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crupiea Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I dont have one, Cant justify the cost. They do look nice though and everyone seems to say good things about them. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I've been thinking of asking what you all think about the clamps. Sounds like it's well worth it. John B and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yeah It's amazing John, I can get things quicker from America than I can from Queensland, sometimes cheaper too. The new blade clamps are the best thing since sliced bread. Enjoy. Marg OCtoolguy and John B 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Fengstad Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I replaced my DW788 with the Pegas, can't say it vibrates less but they do clamp and seem easier blade changes. I have since ordered a new Seyco saw. and will be driving to the U.S tomorrow to pick it up OCtoolguy and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
