I have 3 B&D 20 volt tools and did find that they make/made a glue gun that uses that same battery. But it appears they only made 1 for the picture because nobody has any.

I never knew there was a difference. Thanks.

Thanks everybody, I was just looking to see if anyone had found a good quality fast heating gun. It seems nothing really new has come along and since I don't use one all that often, I'll just stick with what I have. It's fun though to read all the comments.

Before you go to all that trouble, try calling Wolfgang at Advanced Machinery for some Q & A. He is very good about helping find your problems. It really sounds to me that you have a part that is either loose, worn out or broken. The Hegners are not a "shakey" saw if mounted correctly. In fact, there is a video on Youtube where a guy buys a brand new one and unboxes it and sets it on his workbench unbolted or clamped. He runs it and it is very smooth throughout the who RPM range. So, there has to be something wrong with your saw. I had one that was mounted on the factory stand and it definitely had it's sweet spots but I could run it full open or anywhere in between and it was useable. It's important to make sure the bushings in the arms aren't worn and properly lubricated. Also, there is a link that fastens to the motor flywheel and connects to the lower arm that is famous for breaking/cracking. I had to replace mine. Call Wolfgang. It might solve your problem. https://advanced-machinery.myshopify.com/pages/hegner-home

Thanks Marge.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks Dan. Coming from you that means a lot to me. You are the guy who teaches. I'm just a "learner". I only wish I had started this hobby 30 years ago.

Well, the cutting on the sides was actually the easy part. I have found that it's really hard to cut a round circle. And I've had to figure it out every step of the way to make everything fit right. I screwed up on the top piece. Twice. So, I cut the two pieces in half and used the good piece from each screw-up and glued them together using biscuits. Even that didn't work out the way I hoped because I did PLAN ahead. But, I'll fix what I can and just chalk it all up to learning curve. OH well, I'm just glad it's for us and not to sell. Oh, and I DID drill the holes. Much easier than trying to cut a 5/16" hole 20 times.

Wow! That's neat. Congrats on joining the 50th club. Barb and I just got there in December. I'm sure your wife will love this and the thought.
-
Here ya go Dan. I finally got back out in the shop today and cut the top piece so the inside can be seen. I took off all the patterns too. It's starting to take shape but I sure do see all the flaws. I hope if I ever make another one that I can do a better job. I know I'm my own worst critic but I hate when I screw up.

Yes, the two I have now are both what I would call lower wattage. I was thinking of something in the 50-80 watts. I was watching a video on how to make a particular project and the subject came up regarding glue guns or I would never have brought it up. Just a curiosity thing.
-
Yup, sure did. Right at 4am. We usually have a test of the system the first Friday of the month at 12 noon. It was off by exactly 8 hours. Somebody messed with the system and the clock had been switched to GMT instead of PDT.

Ok, got it. I just wasn't expecting a jocular reply.

I know you understood what you wrote, but it went right over my head.

I have a very old glue gun that is "HUGE" and my wife bought a tiny one that is too small for my hands. So it made me wonder what you fine folks are all using. I just looked at the Dremel product line and it seems they no longer make one. I would like something that is mid-sized and heats fast. I might even go for one that uses the little glue sticks rather than the larger format. So, anybody have any suggestions? Thanks.
-
I agree. It's only fair to the buyer/customer to know what they are buying.
-
Thanks Bill.

What other forum was this topic discussed? Can you provide a link to it?

I'm going take my Ex apart this summer and do a complete lube/inspect service on it. I really don't expect to find any problems as it runs so quiet and smooth. I just want to set my mind at ease that all the bearings have good adequate grease. It will give me a chance to measure the sleeve lengths too.
-
I'm working with Bob Duncan as we speak on getting bearings & sleeves so we can find out definitively if there is a difference in the Pegas parts as opposed to the Dewalt parts. The Ex manual gives actual sizes of the sleeves but I don't have anything to compare to without taking my saw apart. You mentioned once that you either have or have access to a full set of Dewalt brgs & sleeves so once we get the parts in hand we can compare them. Keep your fingers crossed.
-
I know this is not the "approved" method but if you can see where the nut should be at when properly adjusted, take the threaded shaft out and lightly peen the threads in that area to "fatten" them up a bit. It might save having to buy a new shaft and nut.
-
I guess I missed that. Sorry.
-
If you keep your eyes open sometimes you can find a deal that includes shipping. The Deltas are the same saw as Dewalt mostly. Check Grizzly, Amazon, and Home Depot.
-
One thing comes to mind here. If you buy this saw for $300 and pay $30 shipping, you are only $100 or so from a NEW Delta which is basically the same saw. Why not go new with 5 year warranty?

Better dust collecting for my excalibur scrollsaw

Very nice design. My saw is an early one without the perforated table but I can see that this would work. Thanks for posting.
