BadBob Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 I bought this one owner never used Pegas Scroll saw Friday. The seller said he bought it for his wife to use, and she never got around to it. It cost me $700 and a 12-hour drive to get it. Patience paid off. My old RBI is moving out.

rafairchild2 Posted May 21, 2023 Report Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Great score! I love that stand with the wheels. I need to get something like that for my Excalibur. All my other tables and my tool chest are on wheels. Though my setup is already efficient, I can do most work seated and just spin to 3 different workstations... Scroll saw, spin to drill (doubles as barrel sander), and my glue-up/carving station. I work in my garage and share space with my Mustang Convertible but have plenty of storage and another small workbench on the other side.

BadBob Posted May 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 My new Pegas saw is up and running. I read the manual and could not find any place where it talked about adjusting the upper arm parallel to the table, as my EX-21 says. I did it anyway, as it was so far off I could see it without measuring. This is the first saw I have ever had that has the guards in place. There was one on the bottom as well as the top. I removed the top guard because it significantly interfered with installing the blade, and I removed the bottom guard because it banged against the table when the saw was rum at high speed. Removing the lower guard required me to remove the table to get to the screws. I replaced the screws in case they were holding something inside. While the top was off, I discovered that the thin plastic part of the dust collection was only attached to one side. I made one from a piece of magnetic sheet that I had. After waxing the bottom of the table and everything I could not get to without removing the table, I reinstalled the top and checked all of the alignments. I did my first cut. I cut some kittens from a 3/4-inch piece of oak. It works great. There is minimal vibration at high speed, and the cuts are smooth. The Grizzly mobile base that came with the saw will have to go. It adds about 10 inches to the width and gets in the way. One of the wheels is where I want my foot switch to go. Only two wheels are casters, making it more challenging to maneuver in tight spaces. In short, the mobile base takes up to much room. I'm thrilled with the new Pegas Scroll Saw. meflick, don watson, OCtoolguy and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did just as I did by removing the guards including the one under the table. Congrats one the new saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
