New saw

[Brianr24]

I just pulled the trigger on a pegas saw. Not sure how long till I get it tho. I’ve been looking for an ex for a while now but I decided to go the pegas route. Too much manufacturing confusion with the Ex.

I've heard nothing but good reports on the Pegas saw.

I see where Woodcraft now sells the Pegas saw. I saw their online ad. There was some delay re availability and it is shipped to your home. Not sure if they will carry it in their stores.

Congrats on the new saw... I'll be taking a hard look at the Pegas when I'm ready for a new saw... that might be a long time though since I have the new EX, and Hawk's.. But Pegas will most likely be my saw of choice.. of coarse something new will probably be out by then anyway..

Yeah I saw woodcraft add also. Actually a little cheaper too. But I purchased it through Bear woods cuz I rather give them the business.

Haha that’s what happened to me I himmed and hawed about an Ex for so long the Pegas came out in the meantime. It took me a while to actually upgrade because (I’m sure some will think I’m crazy) but I love my Poter cable and just never saw the need for an upgrade. Still no need for upgrade. But I just want it.

Congrats. You will love it. I look forward to reading your glowing review once you get your saw, get it all set up and make something. I will also be interested in your comparison of your Porter Cable saw.

I started with a porter cable, IMO it would not be a fair comparison even though I have an EX and not the Pegas.  The PC does have a build in light I liked and the blower is stronger.  The PC cut very nicely, but the fixed upper arm was a real pain sometimes since I am a bottom feeder.

Best of luck with it - I've read mostly very good reviews regarding those. The only not good thing I read I believe was due to personal choice rather than anything actually an issue with the saw.

If I were in the market for a saw, I would take a good look at that one

A Big Congrats on your New saw.

I think you will like it.  I got one from the first shipping and am really pleased.  I don't do nearly as much work as I used to but just had to try it.  I also got some of the Pegas blades and it makes for a great combination.
