My Christmas gift

[Eric67]

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 !

I think you can understand my English

CONGRATS!!!  Enjoy the new toy  tool.  For the record, your English is just fine (tres bien).

[WayneMahler]

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.

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.

Congratualtions on your new 'toy". 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.

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. 

[dgman]

Congratulations on the new saw. I have the same saw and love it!

[meflick]

Congratulations and enjoy. Your English is quite understandable. Look forward to your project pics.

[wombatie]

Congratulations.    I would love one.

Treat that woman special. She gave you an outstanding Christmas gift. Wish my woman felt the same about me. I agree with Kevin. That looks like the 30 inch saw. Happy cutting!!!

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.

Thanks Octoolguy,

I'm Frenchman I live near Strasbourg France(East France close to Germany).
I think standards are not the same in Europe as in the USA but overall devices are similar

Good day

Thanks Frank for your advice.
they are always welcome
it can't be seen in the photo but on it I put a light, I need very good light to cut and I have a magnifying glass too, from time to time it is necessary

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.

I agree it's not easy but it's a pleasure to learn.

Thank you
