    Very nice. Your vet should love it.

    No clamps needed.

    Paul, it's a perfect fit both top & bottom.

    Sounds like it's time to fix it. The easy way is to just wrap a heavy rubber band around the shaft just under the knob, twist it a couple of times and then stretch it down to the right side and find something to hook it to. That'll keep it from turning. Not a fix but sort of. The best way of course requires a tear down. Sounds like it has gotten really loose. Strange. You might give Denny a call and see if Pegas has gotten any feedback on the problem and maybe a fix from them. A re-engineered part or something. I doubt they want negative feedback on their saw.

    Mine both do the same thing so I painted a white stripe on the knob and every once in a while I check it. It usually moves and an inch every couple of hours. That small amount doesn't equate to much arm movement. I also cut a wood block that is the correct clearance at both front and back of the arm for a quick check.

    Well, you can do the review. We'll all be waiting. At this point, I don't need another vac but if my Ridgid ever dies, I'll be thinking about that one. I use the Ridgid out on my driveway primarily for my table saw and router table. It's big and noisy. I have a Dusttopper hooked to it also. The Fein in my shop has a DD on it and both of my Excaliburs have onboard systems running the little Metrovac500's and a mini-cyclone in a 3 lb. coffee can. They can be rolled anywhere and have dust control on them. I'm going to do the same thing to my Hegner but I'll use an Oreck handheld on it.

    Wow! That looks like a very nice unit. I can see why you might want one. I wonder how it compares to the Festool noise-wise. Sure seems quiet.

    I just did a search for the vac you are asking about but don't find it. Can you give us a model number. There are many in that price range but none say "2 stage".

    I replaced 2 of them using CV boots. Worked great. Just get the measurements at top and bottom and go looking. I can't recall what I used. I'll do some research and try to find my Amazon purchase. BRB. Here ya go. Kit Empi 86-2340D from Amazon was under $20.

    Be aware that that nut shown is a left hand thread.
  11. OCtoolguy
    I now understand your motivation.
  12. OCtoolguy
    I thought the Festool was supposed to be quiet. I have a Fein and it's fairly quiet.

    @Rolf has a nice system on his Hawk and he built a "catcher" into his prior to the catch tank so that if he does lose something, he can retrieve it from there instead of the big tank. He used a piece of PVC with a screen in it. There are pictures somewhere here on the village but Lord knows where.

    I'm not familiar with the Chinese Ex's but could it be a "push on " knob? Maybe just needs to be pulled off. @kmmcrafts is the guy to ask. He has one and has been through it completely.
  15. OCtoolguy
    Good on ya Mate!
  16. OCtoolguy
    I'll take your word 4 it.
  17. OCtoolguy
    I did not know that. Has nothing to do with density?

    A Japanese Kobundō (小分銅), 95–97% gold, "Paulownia" Kiri (桐) mark, Kikubana (菊花) emblem, 373.11 grams, Japan It is important in China, Korea, and Japan for making the soundboards of stringed musical instruments such as the guqin, guzheng, pipa, koto, and gayageum.[5] More recently it is used as body material for low-cost electric guitars,[21] as the core for lightweight touring skis,[22][23] and for surfboard cores.[24] It is used in guitars as the core body, then laminated under a more durable wood.[21] I wonder why it is considered "hardwood".

    I figured out that when the name pops up, you have "select" it and then it turns blue. Lesson learned.

    @Dave Monk, you're the inlay pro. Waddaythink?

    Balsa wood is extremely light and soft, They make model airplanes out of it. Basswood is harder and is the wood of choice for carvers. They other one you named, I've not heard of it. Best of luck to you.

    I'm still confused. Couldn't Denny have just sent you a Pegas bellows? Many of the parts on the Pegas are interchangeable between brands. Not sure about all but I'd have thought the bellows might have been the same. Just asking for future needs as I have 2 Ex's and if I can buy parts from Denny it becomes another source.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Ok, I'll find something you did wrong. I'll need pics from all sides. Lol

    Welcome to the club, Paul.

    You're doing great and I for one am enjoying your enthusiasm. Keep it up.
