Installing Pegas Scroll Saw Blade Chucks

[@YuvakTuladhar]

Thanks Mr. Pirate! I installed a Pegas blade clamp on Delta by following your instructions! It cuts so much better now. Thanks again!

[@ArtisanPirate]

Glad I could help! I hope you get get alot of great results using the Pegas Chucks!

Really nice to see a professional company like Klingspor support makers like you. All the more reason why I seek their business 1st. Happy for you because you help support this community in a tremendous way. Way to go Pirate - way to go Klingspor.

Thank you for sharing the Pegas Clamp installation video. I've ordered the Pegas clamps...

[@ArtisanPirate]

Awesome! I'm sure you will love them!

[@greglavallee7613]

great video thanks for showing us I will also be watching for information on your alignment tool

[@ArtisanPirate]

Your Welcome !

[@mikeoxbig7890]

Am glad you approved them. Just installed these on my Dewalt 788 . With shipping,, $96,, but worthy of the upgrade for the DeWalt i guess

[@ArtisanPirate]

Glad you like them! Once I installed them on my Delta, I never removed them

[@casper1240]

Im still trying to put my blade in the bottom pegas without looking at it good piece of kit ill get the hang of it one day

[@ArtisanPirate]

Yea. Took me awhile to get the hang of it myself

[@casper1240]

👍👍👍👍

[@paulanderson5392]

Great video! Seriously considering the upgrade. I too would be interested in the 3D printed scroll saw alignment tool. Looking forward to your next project. :)

[@ArtisanPirate]

Thank You!

Hi AP Where do I get plans for 3d printer?

[@patshea4763]

I will look forward to your review in a couple of months. I use mostly #3 Modified Geometry Pegas blades and have been very happy although there was a period of time when they were backordered.

[@ArtisanPirate]

Thanks Pat ! so good so far with the new clamps, and I have never used the modified geometry blades

[@B.A.Bassangler]

Thanks for the info, I'm eyeing the kit up for my new-to-me Dewalt. Question you ya. When I tighten the Dewalt chucks, the knob/studs seem to grab the blade and tweak it out of plumb unless I use my other hand to keep it straight until tight. Is this normal? Does the Pegas chuck fix this? Thanks for helping if you can.

[@ArtisanPirate]

Hey, usually it does take both hands to tighten the screw down on the blade

[@mandydrew3024]

Where did you get the scroll alignment tool?

[@ArtisanPirate]

I 3D printed it, It's a FREE file on thingiverse.com

[@jayedwin98020]

Would the "Pagas Blade Chucks" work for using a "jeweler's" metal cutting saw blade on a scroll saw?

[@ArtisanPirate]

Yes, if you have a scroll saw compatible with the blade chucks

[@jayedwin98020]

@@ArtisanPirate: "Thank you"

[@bethrossignol9746]

What did you use to get the cap nuts off??

[@ArtisanPirate]

I show how to install the chucks in the video

[@mattfisher323]

hey tyler i know this is an older video but i just got mine in the mail. when adjusting the set screws are they supposed to align in the middle?

[@ArtisanPirate]

They are for dialing in the blade alignment and making sure your blade is perfectly square to the table. I had to keep tweaking mine and doing tests cuts until I was perfectly square

[@sawdustjoe]

Where can the Scrollsaw alignment tool be purchased? If you made it yourself I would be interested in buying one from you. It looked like a very interesting tool.

[@ArtisanPirate]

Thanks, and I have a 3d printer and making them :)

[@sawdustjoe]

@@ArtisanPirate I would like to purchase one from you

[@annbrown7430]

i also would like to purchase one of alignment tool

[@ArtisanPirate]

The file for the alignment tool is a free file on thingiverse

[@larrybgordon]

Great video. do you think the Pegas clamp set is worth the $80 price tag on a new saw (not actually needing new heads)? thanks and great job!

[@ArtisanPirate]

Hey! The Pegus Blade Chucks are outstanding quality and I'd recommend them to anyone wanting to upgrade their scroll saw

[@larrybgordon]

Ok. Thanks for the response. Appreciate your time. Larry in Mississippi

[@Intarsia82]

The early Pegas clamp for the DeWalt type saws came with a tension lever. This meant two tension levers to adjust. It appears that the tension lever on the new clamps has been eliminated. Also give the Pegas Modified Geometry blades a try. They are sharp and cut straight.

[@ArtisanPirate]

Thanks, I was curious about the tension lever of the early pegas blade chucks

[@Airedale721]

The ones with the tension lever are an upgraded type

[@michaelmarchione3408]

Thankyou very much for this video! I have the DW788 and I have wondered about the Pegas blade chucks. I was hoping the quality would be better being Swiss. I'm glad you showed the process in changing to them. Where did you get that blue blade square? I have never seen one like that. Thanks again! Take care!

[@ArtisanPirate]

Thank you! And they are quality at its finest ! And I 3d printed the blade tool

Mine says "Made in Taiwan"
