I may have found the creator of this pattern. I'll post when it is confirmed. Well, unfortunately, I got an answer back to the negative. I thought sure by looking at some of her other work that it had to be her but, alas, not to be.

I like that pic. If you end up with a pattern, will you please share it?

That is one, if not the, best explanation that I have seen on the subject of blades. Very simple, concise and informative. It should be a "sticky" here on SSV for all the folks who will ask this question in the future. Thanks for taking the time to put it all together.

I emailed Grobet also. I gave them my address and phone number. But so far I've rec'd no reply. I am not really expecting anything. So far I'm using the faulty blades in my EX. I'll order more for my Hawk.

I wrote to the Pegas folks but haven't heard a thing back yet. I asked for instructions on how to exchange out my 11 dozen bad ones. Maybe I'll get a surprise and they'll just ship me some new ones. Probably not.

Thanks Charlie, great info.

Just think about being able to take this saw out in the pasture on a hot day and setting up under the shade of an old oak tree. No need to worry about exhaust or dust control. Just the curious cows. Wow!

I suggest taking the saw apart and inspecting the bearings and sleeves. THEN order only what is needed. Had I ordered a complete set of brgs/sleeves, I'd have wasted a huge chunk of change. Luckily, my saw had not seen much hard use so nothing was badly worn. Inspect first unless you have too much money.

I might have to agree if you aren't mechanically inclined. Once I did all the bearing service on mine, I found that I didn't need to replace anything. I even managed to take the main bearing apart (the one on the main drive link) and squeeze grease into it. There were a couple of problems that I found when I took mine apart that accounted for about 95 % of the noise and vibration. The other noise came from the tensioning rod hitting the cover over it. Once I did the file trick as suggested on Rick's Scrollsaw site, that eliminated that so once it was all back together and everything adjusted, I'd have put it up against most other saws.

Very nice Brian. Great colors. I like it.

Color or b/w? I only do b/w stuff. Color seems to cheapen the quality.

I strongly suggest you contact Vivian at: VXB.com BALL BEARINGS 2165 S Dupont Dr Unit F Anaheim CA 92806, USA Tel (714) 442-2740 Dir.

These are the bearing kit numbers and how many you will need to do the entire mechanism with the exception of the motor itself. I have the sleeve numbers around here somewhere. They have to be bought from Dewalt at http://www.service.dewalt.com. kit # 8616 part # HK0609 times 12 kit # 7492 part # HK0810 times 2 kit # 7189 part # HK1412 times 2 Ok, just found the sleeve info. Here it is: quantity 8 of 286294-00 short sleeve quantity 2 of 286295-00 long sleeve quantity 2 of 286430-00 Drive link sleeve quantity 1 of 286282-00 Pivot rod sleeve Good luck on your rebuild. If you haven't already watched it, I strongly recommend watching the 4 part video series that Bob Brokaw did for the Gwinnette Wood Workers. It's on Youtube.

Heck RJF, I still collect pictures of dead presidents but they are getting harder and harder to find and when I find one, I can't afford it.

Travis, I contacted the seller of this work on eBay to see if they had the pattern or could send me to the designer/cutter/creator. They told me that they only sell the finished products and all the rights and licenses belong to the creators. They told me that they get the finished works from an outfit in Texas by the name of "The Handcrafted of Houston". So, I found their website to see if I could get some info and they won't even talk to me unless I can produce a retail tax number and send them a photocopy of my license. Not friendly at all. I just wanted to ask a question. Anyway, that's where it stands for now. I would say that if we want to just do a cutting for our own use, so be it. Tough Noogies!

Barb, there are many other bearings in that mechanism that need to be serviced at least once. Get some good synthetic grease and a couple of pipe cleaners and at least do that if you don't want to take them apart for inspection. You have only scratched the surface with what you have done.

There is a great tractor/steam power museum in Vista Ca. and they have an open house twice a year. I try to attend one if them every year. I am fascinated by the old equipment. The one that really got me was/is a motorized rope maker. They always set it up with 8-12 different colored threads and as the head rotates there is a collection of threads going down a hole in the center as braided rope. It's mesmerizing. As my wife will verify. She always has to drag me away from it.

I have the bearing list that was referred to above but it doesn't include motor bearings. I questioned the OP about his needs but no response.

Exactly.

It's really not that difficult to do. In fact, the video that Dave Monk recently posted does a great job of explaining the process. You just will be working with veneers instead of thicker wood which requires tilting the table more. What stopped me from doing more of it is that you end up with a very thin sheet of wood with a picture on it. Then you have to have a use for it. I guess you could just frame it and have another wall hanger. Anyway, it's fun to do and another skill learned.

I'm not positive that these are what you are looking for but if so, here ya go. Cheap too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLH7802-Motor-Bearing-Set-OEM-Replacement/142101861520?epid=1540494340&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item2115ee5490:g:VVEAAOSwRF1cGadr:sc:USPSFirstClass!92649!US!-1&enc=AQADAAAB4KX%2FKt4E1xf3SDqEdBclaYYCqswzB0n6vyEfmYmKoqjxGghAr2r1WxG17IgLJSo3KyPgu5eWPHtCQ6af5NSL1wnK3ZB87iXk7OJ5YpC9w0GYrul83FD3XpFNCr13wtPxIMHiXTAaWbG6vzzlF%2B2NJbuYk%2FkkhRtWnENG0CRSbpwzrf%2F98El2u7CiZW9Kv%2F6wiK0b4xVMy7WCwYac%2Fv38FjGZWtKdyrYNEj1KFaOLb2JjprwuANCpI57C8kDxQ%2Fa1GMnujJwm5q4v6STW2TSlDbE9YFlgI%2FiL%2Fne6a6lrAw2VHNIfg7LLVAzxdSYnXPsQPWRrDRY9%2BZwkscZvTDdryJ%2FgR946n%2F9RwHmqB34dsdlj1k8q83bEABuSLtScBiUv8gLesTVuBuAqYXBJB%2Fm%2BUwfFcowX2SMji6pogRmE194HXuExBIbzUUGyZUQEcu4C0by2yvlP2he%2Bl09N1lzyAkvYm1Ad7OSAS3DQhSNY3s8Pz07T7O1WVz6BhYh0SJJL3VgYzSYksfUULyg%2Fo1PeiJkZtC7tfl5%2FfQShqHGnmGTQYtn7lgEOXHxkttfNeBcmUMNdyKRQ2V6b%2FYRQKdpzfzhLX2kPP%2BQhFwuV5ub%2Bdi2FmjY9JkKlyHPbK5%2FpObSrLg%3D%3D&checksum=142101861520502581e8fddc42e68b1bd0610e940fb6

Congrats on that 55 Stoney. And thanks for the nice words.

Another topic that seems to have gone off the rails.

You said motor bearings. Did you mean that or do you need a list of all the bearings/sleeves? I don't know if anybody on SSV has ever rebuilt the motor. I see motors on eBay from time to time. Not cheap.

I spent $50 and took his class about 3-4 years ago. I highly recommend the book that I have mentioned in previous posts.

They'd probably sue me for burning their house down. Can't trust anybody anymore.
