Popular Post munzieb Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 A few weeks ago I noticed that I wasn't getting any air out of my blower on my EX 16. I proceeded to open the plate on the bottom that holds the bellows in place. A piece of rubber fell out and it looked to have a whole. Oh my! I was long out of warranty and what to do. I had good luck working with Denny at Artcrafter and he contacted Pegas and was able to get me a bellows. It came today and I will install it this weekend. You are my go to guy! Thank you Denny, Dan, new2woodwrk, jollyred and 14 others 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Yeah Munzieb, that piece of rubber sure could block, the air supply to your dust remover. Good fix, and I agree that, Denny is our go to guy. Len barb.j.enders and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Seyco has them also. But not positive they are the same. Seyco's listed are for Excalibur. scrollingforsanity, John B, Lucky2 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 If I'm reading this correctly, you have an Excalibur 16. Am I to understand that the Pegas bellows is different? I'd have thought they would be the same. Curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Ray, why would you think that, each saw is manufactured by different companies. They wouldn't be allowed, to copy the EX exactly the same, due to copyright protection. A minor change such as this, would go towards the percentage of changes they need to bring their saws to market. I'm not sure of what the percentage is, but, it's out there somewhere in a patent lawyers bag of tricks. That's how Saw-Stop has gotten so much protection, they patented almost every piece of their saws separately. Doing so, makes it almost impossible, to make a saw using any of the Saw-Stop technology.

It took a little to figure out how to install it. There is a hole at the bottom where the plate is mounted but there is no way to install it that way (especially with thick fingers)I removed the 4 screws that connect the upper housing cover to the square aluminum plate at the front where the 3 rods pass through. I removed the small bolt on the top that connects the 2 drive arms. This arm has a bushing and 2 Shims on either side. This arm has the pin to mount the bellows on the underside and can be removed ( a whole lot easier!) Reinstalled everything and it all works good.

Couldn't Denny have just sent you a Pegas bellows? 4 hours ago, Lucky2 said: Ray, why would you think that, each saw is manufactured by different companies.

Len Many of the parts on the Pegas are interchangeable between brands. Not sure about all but I'd have thought the bellows might have been the same. Just asking for future needs as I have 2 Ex's and if I can buy parts from Denny it becomes another source. Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 I placed an order for a gross of blades Friday 12/2. Received them today 12/4. Tennessee to So Cal. Darned quick. And, because me last order with Denny was a set of Pegas clamps, I rec'd 6 dozen blades for free. Best service ever. Thanks Denny & crew.

What you are referring to is my Loyal Customer Program. Free blades based on the amount of the previous order.
