If you want the tab to be on the end and centered, cut it first before you apply the pattern. Then, stay away from cutting that part of the pattern or you will cut it off.

Amen Brother, Why is it a man can get his point across in a few words but it takes a woman all day and even then they may not be finished.
-
Well Denny, you were supposed to know that that person was coming in. They probably wanted something you didn't have anyway.
-
I don't think it's your imagination.
-
Thank you Dan for having a cool head. People have gone nuts over this whole thing. Over reacting seems to be the order of the day.
-
It doesn't work. It can't work.
-
It looks to me that you may be the "new kid on the block" but you are no stranger to the art of woodworking. Nice work. Welcome aboard. We'll all be learning from you it seems.
-
That's right Ralph. The pattern is wrong in that area. That tab can only be on one side.
-
On that I agree. I must have worded my reply badly.
-
I completely understand Les. He cuts one side and all is good. But when he gets to the other side, it's gone.
-
Thanks Larry. Don't get me wrong. I would like to try one first. I have watched the video and it looks easy but there just seems to be too many moving parts and add-ons. I don't know anybody who has one that I could see/feel/try. I like the idea though.
-
I've looked at that thing more than once but I just can't see myself taking the time to set it up for every cut. I know I'm making more of it than I should but I don't have $75 laying around to buy one and find out I don't use it. I'd like to try one for a while just to see how it works out.
-
It's because you can't have that tab on both sides. It can only be on one side of the block. That way, when you cut it, the tab will run all the way across the block. Then, you will have to "trim" the sides to get a centered tab. It CAN'T be on both sides.
-
Absolutely the truth. I would have been lost without the Village to answer all my inane questions.

No, the tension is applied from the front on both saws. The black knob is NOT for tensioning. It's only there to adjust the arm. On the Dewalt I would set the tension full ON or at a point that allowed the blade to be installed as far as length would permit. Then actually apply the tension with the lever on the top clamp. If you think about it on the Dewalt the tension lever does the same thing as the EX/Pegas. It sets the arm height. So once it's set, leave it there and apply tension with the lever.
-
I was going to do as I said because I liked that way of tensioning and would not have to worry about which saw I was using and how to tension. The muscle memory would not have to learn and remember two different things to do the same job.
-
I don't know what the problem is here. I did something similar a long time back. I had some folks here help me with the pattern. I cut "Ray Loves Barb" on one side and "Barb Loves Ray" on the other side. It came out fine. I can understand though that the two tabs for the actual key chain to go through won't work as they aren't on opposing sides but on the two sides that are joined by the center line. One side only for the tab. Singular. Unless you want two chain holes that criss cross.
-
If I had bought the Pegas for my Dewalt, I was going to buy the Pegas design. I figured that the tension slider on the Dewalt was basically the same as the black knob on the EX's so I would just move it to about half way and leave it there and do all the tensioning with the Pegas white lever. I'm sure there must be folks who have done this.
-
Larry, all I have a is a cheap Dewalt portable table saw but it still has a riving knife. The problem is it's held in place with 2 bolts and has a selection of shims to allow you to get it perfectly lined up with the blade. I tried to use it but it was a real pain to have to unbolt it for cross cuts. Any suggestions?
-
My buddy had a similar thing happen to him. It was a 2x4 that kicked back and hit him square in the middle of his chest about the sternum area. He has a bruise that lasted for a long time. He learned his lesson.
-
The first problem is the subject matter. LOL.
-
I bought the first set for my EX21. The old clamps were still in good working order but I liked the simplicity of the Pegas and so I bought a set. I have NO regrets. They gave me less vibration and it's obvious that they are lighter weight. I love how they work too. So effortless and smooth. I DO feel that they are a bit pricey so I still haven't pulled the trigger on another set for my EX16 but at some point, after the world comes back to it's senses, I'll order another set. Maybe by then they will feel that the price is too high and drop it a bit. I know, wishful thinking.

Buy the program Roboform. It keeps all your logins and bookmarks. I've been using it for about 15 years and it is great. My wife has it on her computer too. Even if your computer crashes/burns or is lost in a hurricane, all you have to remember is your initial login i.d. and password. One thing to remember. Once you set it up, you never have to do it again. If I'm not mistaken, it's about $20 a year for total peace of mind.

Very nice stand. I like it.

Welcome back Barry. Glad you survived and are on the mend. I'm 77 and it scares the bejeebers out of me whenever I have any sort of pain that I don't recognize. Take it easy and keep on scrolling.
