rustynail Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I bought the saw from Denny at ArtCrafters great service and easy to work with and a good price . I would recommend them if buying the Pegas. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only draw back I don't like is the small black table as wish it was bigger in front of the blade and not black? I picked this over the Seyco mostly for there blade holders and the rack and pinion knob for tilting the table. You can get the Pegas blade holder for the Seyco and it does have a larger table but with the upgrade holders it will cost you about $150 to $200 more when all said and done.. Before all this mess, I found out from Bob Duncan of Pegas that there will be a larger table available. Not sure when. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off one reason I was looking at the Pegas saw was of the blade clamps and not having to change them out (hassle and cost)? As far as availability of parts I believe they are both somewhat the same as they come from the same areas of origin for the basic parts, but the Seyco saw does have some different parts that may be a problem down the road. I did buy a saw from Ray about 25 years ago or longer (it was one of the original Black Excalibur saws that were made in Canada with the none tilting heads ) and I know Rays customer service is a cut above but I am concerned some that if Seyco ever closes its doors ( Ray’s getting up there in age) will parts be available? I do like the idea of the larger table but I did want to try cutting some bowels on the scroll saw and I know you need the extra angle on the table to do that. I guess I am just concerned about how small the front of the table is on the Pegas as I have never used a saw with that small of a table before and it seems everyone likes the larger table. For those that have used saws with the smaller tables (Jet, Excalibur, King, )are the small front tables a problem? I have the King and I'm not a big fan of the front of the table. And I hate those stupid vacuum holes. Wish I could put the seyco table on it OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when. Bob had stated that back when I bought my saw and that was last fall so ?????? who knows when, like you said Denny but options are a good thing.

kmmcrafts Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 The last I had seen was that they had the larger tables made.. but was waiting on boarders to open up so they could ship them.. but because of Covid the shipping had been slowed up.. These tables are supposed to be available as a separate option and will fit the EX and other same style saws.. I heard this back in the first part of March, LOL Have not heard anything since then.. I may have to send him a message and see if I can find anything out.. I wouldn't mind a larger table for my EX if the price isn't too steep.. Also heard they was working on a dust collection at the saw design.. but never heard if they came up with something for that yet.. I'm thinking the dust collection would have to be quite inexpensive or people will just make their own system.. ? Then again.. a lot of people also make their own larger table.. soo.. maybe they'd sell decent.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 At this point in time, I've not found it to be a big deal regarding the front of the table. If it ever does, I'll make some sort of an extension or add-on table. Or, as I mentioned 3 pages back, I'll just re-drill the holes and move it myself. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you are making a lot of large fretwork or portraits it would matter but for what I make, I have no problem with the short table.
