Popular Post Eric67 Posted April 19, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Hello everybody, I'm very happy. I finally received my Chrismast gift of my Chérie but she never said it's for 2021. After many adventures, my scroll saw is finally arrived. I ordered it at October 2021, I'm very patient isn't? I tried it yesterday, that is incredible! Very quiet, no vibration. Compared to my first, it's another world. That is Rolls! (I never had a Rolls but I suppose) Now, I'll can to saw without stopping, night and day. Lol !

WayneMahler Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 I remember years ago when I upgraded to my Excalibur 21. How much of a difference and joy it was. Enjoy your new toy and I wish you many happy hours with it. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 (edited) Enjoy your new toy. I have the same Pegas almost two years now and it is still doing fine. A couple of things. I, and others, have found as time goes by the tension knowb at the rear tends to move durring operation. Simplest solution,,,a little tape ( I now use some duct tape, as the blue tape dries out and come loose). Also, I was spoiled with my previous cheap Porter Cable saw that had a small spot light on the arm that could be aimed at the blade. The Pegas does not have that so I added a magnetic base flexable arm light that I have mounted on the saw arm. I found that just a Magnifier Lamp was not adequate. I like that the added light can throw a nice shadow of the blade makeing it easier to track the blade on the line. I removed the plastic sheet under the table and actually built a wood sawdust collector that is mounted on the stand just below the blade hole. The box is hooked up to my dust collector. Works good if I remember to turn on the dust collector. And BTW, you can remove the hold down device as you wont need it. Just gets in the way.

Your English is far better than I could do with your native language so no problems there. Please do keep us updated on what you make. We ALL love pictures so the more the better. By the way, what country are you in? I see by looking at your saw that the on/off control is mounted at the rear and is very much different from what we have here in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Very nice!! Looks to be a 30 inch saw? certainly not the normal 21 inch saw that is most common here in the states. Though they are making them available to us soon from what I've heard. Hope you get a lot of joy and cutting from this well built saw for many years.

Thank you for your reply, Yes it is, we have the choice between 16", 21" and 30" when I ordered the waiting time was shorter for the 30" Have a good day. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's the opposite, I started learning English only seven years ago, I am 62 years old, it is sure that it is less easy than if I was young.

English is a very hard language to learn because so many words are spelled the same but have different meanings and pronounciations. Best of luck to you.
