    Do you have to take it to a service center? I would think you could take it to H/D and either exchange it or have them send it in. Aren't they the recognized Ridgid seller?

    It looks like it's held in place with wire Kevin. Ooops! I Misread your post. Never mind.

    Thanks. Your hose looks different for some reason. Your friend should make a few extra y fittings for the rest of us. Lol! How about the fitting onder the table. That looks nice too.
  4. OCtoolguy
    Let us know what you think. They may even have a better line than that. They keep coming out with newer/better stuff.

    I have a 6 gallon oiless that I bought at H/D when we went out on the road. I needed something that would air up the tires on our 5th wheel. 110 psi. H/F sells a similar unit. Anyway, my point is, I don't recall a drain cock on mine. Now, I'll have to drag it out and check.

    That's quite true if you buy the Pegas set made for the Dewalt. But, the other set will work too. I prefer the lever over the wheel. JMHO.

    Dewalt still makes good stuff. You just have to shop for deals. The DW788 scroll saw is one of the top saws for most people. Cordless tools are in a whole different category because they have such competition. To be brutally honest, I'd look hard at the new tools that Harbor Freight has brought out. Not bad stuff and priced reasonably for the average person. Not for the Festool crowd though.

    I was going to get a set for my Dewalt but ended up selling it. I was going to put the EX set on it because of how easy it is to flip the lever over turning the wheel. I figured that I could set the tension once with the wheel after a blade change and then just use the lever until the next change. To me, it was just easier and having both saws set up the same way made sense. Muscle memory and all.

    I like your dust collection setup. Can you elaborate on it? Where did you find the hose, fittings etc?
  10. OCtoolguy
    I leave mine plugged in but switch off. The quick coupler fittings don't seal well so the pressure bleeds down. I do turn the pressure regulator down to zero just to take the load off of it.

    I got tired of battery problems with the high dollar drills so after tossing them in the dumpster, I bought a cheap B & D 20 volt lithium battery set. I liked it so much that I bought another one so I could drill with one and drive screws with the other. The ONLY time that I have ever run either one down was using a sanding mop. I also found that they make a 5 1/2" saw that uses the same battery. I could not be happier with what I have and would buy them again. No more high dollar cordless tools for me.

    Like everybody else has said, once tightened and ready to saw, does the slop go away? My EX is loose but not quite that loose. Once the lever is thrown, it's tight and all good. I love my saw with the Pegas clamps.

    I found one source for that pattern. Old crow scrollwerks. $6.00

    Great news Dan. Just don't over do it. Slow and steady wins the race.
  15. OCtoolguy
    It's a very famous and popular picture. Someone must have created a pattern. I'd like to find it too. Maybe the same person who did yours.
  16. OCtoolguy
    Look at the new Pegas. It is just like the the EX21 and very pretty. So far it is getting RAVE reviews. I have a 2010 EX and I love it. I do wish it had the Pegas paint job though.
  17. OCtoolguy
    Now you need to do the one of dogs playing poker. Very job on this. I like it.
  18. OCtoolguy
    All good info and advice Bill. Thanks.

    Crupeia, there is something knowns as "the 5 second rule" and I abide by it totally. It grosses my wife out when I pick up something I've dropped and eat it. Waste not, want not!

    Les, thanks for keeping the conversations open. I've noticed a lag here too. I figured that the weather must be nice once again and folks are moving back out to the shop. Here, it's been very windy and it rattles my shop roof since it's really nothing more than the awning over our driveway. Anyway, I'm happy that you are active. I have a similar compressor but mine is a 6 gallon. I have it nested under my workbench and I have a really long hose that I can run outside if necessary. About the only thing that I air up out there anymore are the two tires on my dolly. About once every 2 years. So, I just use mine for my nailers and to blow off a piece after sanding prior to finishing. My wife knows better than to touch anything in my shop. If I didn't keep my eye on her, she'd toss everything that didn't look like it was valuable. Like I said in a prior post, I have the "packrat" gene and there are many things out there that she thinks should be put BACK into the dumpster that I dug them out of. "One man's trash" and all that.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Me too Les. But you have a nicer can.

    Qtena.com. They are about an hour from where I live so I get 1-2 day service. Very responsive to emails too. Great customer service.

    H/F has a new line of power tools named Bauer. I almost bought the new RO sander when on sale but haven't yet. Has anybody tried them yet? They retail at about $40 but when on sale $24.95 with coupon. I'm very tempted.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Off subject but looking at your pics, did you notice any increased vibration when you installed the wood "knobs" on your clamp thumb screws? I did something similar when I had my Dewalt. I tried very hard to make upper and lower wood add-ons identical in size, shape and weight. I had no problems.

    Les, do a Google search for "aluminum magnet". There's new stuff coming out all the time.
