OCtoolguy Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) I ran across this fellow's channel the other day and even though it's all in German, I was able to decipher most of it. There is a setting to translate into English. https://www.youtube.com/user/FEINESausWUPPERTAL/featured He has some things that might interest most any scroller. And in some of his videos he has a Pegas too. I just watched how he managed to cut an 80 millimeter piece of wood on his Hegner by using some bandsaw blade material for a longer blade and open up the spread of his saw. Thinking outside of the box. Edited October 8, 2021 by OCtoolguy kmmcrafts, Scrappile, jr42 and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadBob Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 After spending the best part of two days trying to compound cut reindeer on a band saw, I watched him cut them, and now I'm drooling for a Pegas band saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sorry to have cost you money. How bad do you need that reindeer head? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to cut an enlarged set of reindeer designed for a scroll saw that I found in an old magazine. A customer wants them 10-inches tall. It has proved challenging. It looks like the Pegas bandsaw would make these easily. These are about 3-inches tall. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the block of wood must be thicker by at least 1/4-inch. I like to have 1/4-inch all round. Using 3/4-inch stock that is 4-5 pieces to glue up.

It can be done on a bandsaw, I do them every winter along with my 'dog man' OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rash_powder Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I made reindeers from a 2x4 of cedar on my 14" Delta bandsaw. Just mount up the smallest blade you can find, I think I used a 1/8" blade. There is a guide from Clark, I believe, that helps make tight turns a bit easier. I have one, but the product name eludes me at the moment. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, there are none to be had anywhere. They are probably sitting on a container ship somewhere. OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
