Popular Post scrollerpete Posted March 17 Popular Post Report Posted March 17 I sold one of my 2 Excalibur and decided to treat myself, got the new Pegas from Bear Woods in Canada (only distributor) would not recommended took close to one month to receive it, plenty of excuses, no stock, lot’s of snow, email did not work etc. No complain about the saw, attached pics of my set up not pretty but functional jerry walters, ChelCass, red river and 8 others 10 1 Quote

Richard Hotchkiss Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Pete, congratulations on your new saw and hope you enjoy it. I did the same thing, treated myself today and ordered a 21" Pegas from Denny at Artcrafters. Enjoy your new saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
rafairchild2 Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 (edited) You will love the Pegas, it is a smooth saw. One of the things I did when I put in my Lock-Line top vac, is made it so I goes up and down with the arm, this way it always goes back to the same place like the puffer. I have the 30" Pegas (wish I got the 21"). This way my nozzle goes along with the arm. I also added blast gates so I could adjust, turn on/off, the suction to the top and bottom. My cabinet (US General) is also a roller, though I have it on 2*4 blocks right now, so I can move the saw around as I like too. Here's what it looks like. This was before I moved in place where the Excal sat. The 2nd image is my workshop at the moment (subject to change), I've added a band saw and have a new router table.

barb.j.enders Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 Congrats on the new toy. I wish there was another distributor. You described my experience with Bearwoods. And it was only over the clamps and blades. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 Congrats to both of you with your new saws. As for Bear Woods, I ordered some blades from them many years ago and it took a month. I don't know what keeps them in business. Sad! Quote
kmmcrafts Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 Congrats on the new saw, hope it gives you many yearsu of joy making sawdust. First time I ordered from Bear Woods it took 6 weeks for them to just put it in the mail and give me a tracking number.. and I messaged them after 4 weeks and they claimed it was just mailed out a week earlier or so but them a week after than I got the notification that it had just been mailed out. I get that mistakes happen but how you handle something tells me all I need to know.. instead of lying to me that it was mailed out how about owning up to a mistake and maybe throw in a small pack of blades or some discount for my next order etc. honestly I don't even care about a discount or anything just tell me the truth can go a long way but, to say it was mailed out and then a week later they actually do mail it out.. Let's just say I won't be ordering again from them. OCtoolguy and barb.j.enders 1 1 Quote
