Pegas Blades

[btseed357]

I have been using the Flying Dutchman UR blades on a Dewalt for years. When the blade became dull or worn, it would slow down its cutting or break. I recently purchased a Pegas and some Pegas MGT blades. One thing I'm noticing on my blades that after a turn, many times the Pegas MGT do not straighten, but remained in a somewhat twisted state which causes the cutting to drift. This has happened on #3 and #5 blades. I have a picture attached, hopefully someone will be able to make it out and provide an explanation on why it is doing this. I never had the problem with the FDUR blades.

Thanks in advance,

Bob

In my opinion if you're able to twist a blade like that then you have a tensioning issue.. maybe not enough at the start of the cut or slippage once you start cutting.. I don't know but I have had instances where a blade would twist some.. maybe not that much but anyway it was always because the tension on the balde wasn't enough.. You might try cleaning your clamp screws where they pinch the blade and also sand the ends of the blade to remove the oils from the blade.. they're coated to prevent rusting andover time they'll build up oil on the clamping screws. 

There may be a different issue here with your situation but that is what I've always had happen when a blade slipped in the clamp.
