    I've never seen a really small DD. I know they make a regular size and a large one.

    I bought it mostly out of curiosity to see what kind of power it has. As for a switch, I'll just put a triple outlet on my foot switch that will trigger both the saw & the vac at the same time. And if it turns out to not be the do all end all, I'll just sell it on c/l. I might try my hand at making a cyclone out of a 3 lb. coffee can. No matter what, I'll be smarter when I'm done than I am now. Lol.

    No, once you get your heart set on something, nothing else will take it's place. But, take that old saw and stash it somewhere so that you will always have it to fall back on. You'll love that Pegas saw. I love both of my EX''s and will not part with them. If I had the room, I'd probably keep my Hawk but something has to go. I'm as short on space as you are. I'm still waiting to read/hear the FIRST negative comment on the new Pegas. Still nothing but happy customers.

    Kevin, you'd have to be cutting 24/7 to generate that much sawdust. It would be very interesting to see just how long it would take you to fill up a quart jar with just your scroll saws. I realize you have a whole stable of them but you are still just one person unless you are SuperScroller and haven't told us yet.

    I read the reviews and most folks said they worked. A few almost always find fault with everything so I toss most of them out. The DD works great and so does the H/D Dustopper that fits on a 5 gallon bucket. A lower profile is what I like about that one. I have both and they both work great.

    You know, until the arm lifts came along, most of us just used a block of wood to hold the arm up on our Dewalts. I wouldn't abandon the saw because of that. Just admit it, you want a new saw. Lol.

    I do have an app Jim. I'm curious too. It's the exact same vac as what Seyco is selling, minus the cyclone and hose. I now have 3 saws and the plumbing is getting to be a nightmare so if this works, it will be great.

    I just bought one of these. It appears to be the exact same unit as pictured here. For that price, $58.79 + tax, free shipping, I thought I'd take a flyer. They have a few left if anybody else wants one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MetroVac-VM4B500T-Vac-N-Go-500-Watt-Hi-Performance-Hand-Vac-with-Rotating-Brush/392312907529?epid=114740285&hash=item5b57abe709:g:eb8AAOSwDUJdASaV:sc:ShippingMethodExpress!92649!US!-1 I figure I can come up with some sort of homemade cyclone collector.

    Tony, that is just gorgeous! As always, your work is amazing.
  10. OCtoolguy
    Very nice. I really like your flag clock.
  11. OCtoolguy
    I agree Ron, it seems like if room is the problem, maybe a re-engineered stand is in order. Put the motor below the saw and design a smaller footprint stand.

    There is a lot of good stuff on there but the travel distance is sometimes just not worth it. I bought my last saw and had to drive a lot farther than I usually would. It was on C/L though. I have watched a few Hegners on Marketplace.
  13. OCtoolguy
    That's been my motto for years. I try to be nice here so Travis doesn't give me the boot but on FB, well, look out.
  14. OCtoolguy
    Many times it comes down to that. Have fun, enjoy your new saw and let the chips (sawdust) fall where they may.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Why not cut it out of a cow "patty"?
  16. OCtoolguy
    You don't have one?
  17. OCtoolguy
    I totally agree with what you said. The simple pleasure of sitting at your saw and creating something, even if it's a "cow turd" represented in wood, what's the difference as long as you enjoyed doing it?
  18. OCtoolguy
    He does make some nice stuff Rolf. I'm not a fan of it but I can certainly appreciate the work he puts into it.
  19. OCtoolguy
    What blade? I did that all the time with my Dewalt. Never blew a fuse. If your saw is having to work because of drag in the bearings, the added stress of the tight turn in thick hardwood might have put too much strain on the motor and caused the overload. Just surmising.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Great idea Paul. I will follow up on that. I did see that it is located in Tennessee.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I didn't realize it was that big. The picture doesn't make it look that big. Oh well............
  22. OCtoolguy
    I finally got a reply to my second email and they asked me for my address in order to calculate the cost of shipping. They reaffirmed that they just want it to go to a person who will appreciate what it took to make it. I told them a bit about myself and the SSV and attached a picture of a couple of my completed projects so they would know that I know what is involved in the making/creating a work of art such as that clock. I just hope the shipping isn't out of this world.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Well, if it blew a fuse, there may be a good reason. At your leisure, start cleaning and checking things out. You have all the knowledge.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Thanks for the update. I'm glad your purchase came out good. Sometimes things DO go your way. There was a lot of great info on this thread and I'm glad that nothing scared you off from your purchase. That saw is a great saw as JT stated and with the proper maintenance, it will serve you well. Happy scrolling. Now, post some pics of your work.

    I tried to contact this seller last night with an email. I offered to buy the clock if they would pack and ship and charge me but so far, I've not heard anything back. I can't get their phone number to come up.
