    That is a great saw and you will love using it. Just do all the recommended setup procedures before doing any serious scrolling. Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you.
  2. OCtoolguy
    Yeah, you're probably right. I just hate the over the top cost of everything from them. I'm even trying to think in my mind who/what/where I might come up with a similar thing to replace the Hegner bellows. I'm wondering if some sort of a shock cover or something like that might work. In the end, I'll probably just order the one from Advanced.
  3. OCtoolguy
    Probably from 3 different sellers. I really don't know for sure.

    Kevin, the tip of one end has been ground so that it is partially gone. Just the very tip. That's the bottom end.

    I don't think Olson marks their blades in any way Brad. As far as I knew, FD were the only ones until I got this last batch of Pegas.

    Thanks JT. The ad tells right up front that it needs a bellows and the picture shows it to be non-existent. I'll check to see if he has it though. I'll be getting quite a bit of extra stuff too. He even offered me the stool that he used. I'll take it of course. What did you find about the pump that you didn't like?

    Well, I pulled the trigger on that used Hegner that I posted about the other day. It's a $150 gamble but I think it's going to work out ok. I spoke with the seller. He is a retired guy like me and said that he thought he was going to like scrolling but hasn't done much with it. He did invest in the quick release arm and the knurled knob so that part is good. The only part that will need replacing is the bellows. At $42 plus shipping, I might just go with an aquarium pump. Anyway, I'm going to run up there and pick it up next week. It's about a 4 hour round trip if the traffic isn't too heavy. Wish me luck.

    I started out with the F/D reverse but since I found Pegas, I really like them better. I think they stay sharp a bit longer and cut straighter.
  9. OCtoolguy
    I just looked at Pegas #5 for a gross. They are getting about $5 more that D&D.
  10. OCtoolguy
    Strange, I never ran into that problem.

    Once again, thanks for all the great info. One more question.....will C/A work on wood after the wood has been stained or oiled? I know, I can do some experimentation but I thought it would be speedier to just ask. Thanks again folks.

    Congrats on the new Hegner. I just sold my 18" Hegner. I didn't like the way it ran but that is another story. Once you get yours and get it set up, you'll probably love it. I would buy another one if the right deal came along. Mine had a speed issue. Anyway, there are many folks here that can help you out if you have problems but more than likely you won't. It's just a matter of getting used to it if you had a different type of saw. The Hegner is a great saw. You'll love it.
  13. OCtoolguy
    That first one is the one I have and I don't care for it. I hate the switch and the fact that it is not a variable speed is a problem. If they would have had the other one at the time, I'd have stepped up to it. I'm going to buy either that one or the one I pictured earlier on Amazon.
  14. OCtoolguy
    That's a good idea. I have watched all the videos at least once. I just found a couple of good tutorial websites too. I just can't justify sitting in my office all day while there are things that need to be done so I'll have to wait until I get those things out of my way. Christmas! Bah! Humbug! LOL.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Just keep watching C/L. One will turn up.
  16. OCtoolguy
    I envy you that you know either of them well enough to do anything. I'm still trying though. Eventually, If I live long enough, I'll learn at least one of them.
  17. OCtoolguy
    What keeps it from lifting the wood?
  18. OCtoolguy
    What model and if you don't mind, where did you buy it and how much. Gathering info for a future purchase.

    I'm not happy about joining the club but I finally did it. I put a blade in upside down. I blame it all on Pegas. I had used F/D blades and they have the little dimple ground into the top of them. So, I just got a gross of Pegas MG blades and they have marked the ends of theirs with a tiny, well I don't know what you would call it, but it denotes one end from the other. I assumed, and that is where I screwed up, that the marked end was the UP and the plain end would be down. I couldn't figure out why my pattern was lifting along the cut line. The blade was cutting fine because it is a reverse blade. So, I didn't realize at first what was happening. I finally had the "uh huh" moment and saw what was going on. So, a word to the wise if you use Pegas blades. They are marked but the opposite of the F/D blades. Dang!!!

    Great news Frank. Glad you are recovering quickly.
  21. OCtoolguy
    I have no idea but I'd bet that each one is a bit more expensive than the previous one.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Thanks, that is great information. I didn't realize that they were all so similar. I have messed with Gimp and it is way different from Inkscape. At least to this uneducated guy. I really do want to learn how to make these programs sing for me. I hate not knowing how stuff works.
  23. OCtoolguy
    That's the best reason in the world. You just have to hope and pray that they do as you hoped when you bought them. I know if I had space, I'd have a lot more tools too.
  24. OCtoolguy
    I think they are all the same size Ralph. Pretty sure you can buy them most anywhere. Amazon has them I'm sure. Just buy the ones marketed for the Delta saws. If I recall, they are 1/2" square. Here ya go.... https://www.amazon.com/Olson-CB50000BL-14-Inch-Accessory-Blocks/dp/B001E4AQCS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543176561&sr=8-1&keywords=delta+cool+blocks

    While we are on this subject, I was just telling my wife today that all I want for Christmas is an "in-person" class on both Inkscape and Gimp. I have watched a bazillion videos on both and am still confused on how to use them. I would be so much better off if I could take an actual class where there is an instructor present to ask a question of. Have any of you folks ever attended a class? I'm just curious as to how you went about learning the programs. And what would you call this type of program. Are they graphical manipulation or what? What type of class am I looking for? I know if I took one class it might make learning all the other graphics programs easier to understand. I know, I'm old and dense. But, I'm not stupid.
