    A question does come to mind that might need some clarification. In the past I have tried working with patterns, that I scanned from books that I have purchased, trying to alter them in Inkscape. I uploaded my scanned patterns to get some of the Inkscape gurus to help me with what I was trying to do. How would I work around that situation? Let me be clear that none of these patterns were bought individually. They were either from Steve Good or from Fox Chapel books. This seems to be an area that needs to be cleared up. Thanks Travis for your patience.

    Yes, as Bill said, your work is better than many folks who have been scrolling for years. Very nice detail work and choice of wood. Keep the pics coming. It's great to see someone with nice work.

    A smidge of white glue and sawdust will fix that "enhancement".

    I personally would need pictures of it from all angles as there are many thibgs to take into consideration. Hawks have undergone many changes over the years and with a 4 digit serial number it must be old.

    Chicago? Where's that? No reason to visit Chicago.

    Our store used to have it in stock. No more though.

    Thanks everybody. I did find it on the hd website. Our local store doesn't stock it.

    Very nice. Yes, H/D has hobby wood and I think what you got was probably poplar.

    Thanks Wick, the ones i'm referring to are in the 12" x 18" range and about 5mm thick. I think it might have been FrankEV who was using them but he's out of the country right now.

    Thanks Paul, you got farther than me.

    Sometime back, there was mentioned, many times, something called "project panels" or boards and they were found at Home Depot. I don't recall who was using them but if somebody could chime in and tell me the proper name for these boards, I'd appreciate it. I went to H/D and asked the folks in the lumber department about them but all I got was blank stares. I'm in need of some of these boards. They were veneered in different hardwoods, maple, walnut oak. I know I'm old but come on, did I just imagine it? Help!

    It's nice to hear about good customer service. We all need to spread the word regarding both good and bad service.

    Fantastic work. Can't wait to see what comes next.

    No vibration?

    Thanks Kev, will do.

    Ok, for anybody who has been following this thread and is interested, I just went through the entire parts list along with numbers and sizes etc. between the Excalibur owner's manual and the Jet owner's manual. The list of parts is exactly the same for the basic saws. If Jet changed anything on theirs, I didn't find it. Anyway, the bearings and sleeves appear to be exactly the same for both saws. I found a supplier online for the bearings and I think it is the same supplier that I have had some correspondence with. They are VXB in Los Angeles. Right now, unless my figures are wrong, a person can purchase all the bearings necessary to rebuild their Excalibur saws for $62.67 plus tax and shipping. As for the sleeves, I will have to contact Jet to see what they are going to charge for those parts. I would be surprised if they are going to charge more than Dewalt and probably will charge less. Who knows? I'll try to contact them tomorrow and see. I'll be back, so the saying goes.

    I've serviced both saws. I'm just trying to be proactive. Does the package from Seyco include any sleeves? They seem to be the bug-a-boo. If the bearing fails, chances are good that the sleeve is badly worn too.

    3 hours ago, Denny Knappen said: I suggest checking with Ray at Seyco. He sold EX21s and no, also Pegas. He should be able to help. It sounds like Jet will be of the most help. It's odd that Pegas has no parts/service available for owners to repair their "out-of-warranty" machines.

    I had one of the original ones many years ago. It was meant to be mounted on a bench grinder shaft. I never did use it and it got sold in our estate sale before going out on the road. It was a neat and well made tool. @Scrappile, the brushes mount behind the sand paper and support tbe paper fingers.

    I recall that Kevin. What I'm trying to ascertain is all the individual parts. I see no reason to buy assemblies if not needed. I want to buy a complete set of bearings and sleeves just to have them on hand. HAving 2 Ex's, it would be nice insurance and not have to wait on shipping when the time comes. Somebody must have done some research into this at some point. I wrote to General International yesterday but who knows if they will ever answer. Contacting Pegas seems to be impossible too. I'm hoping Denny might have some ideas.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Has anybody ever verified, one way or another, will Pegas internal parts interchange with non-Chinese Excalibur saws? I'm referring to Canadian/Taiwanese manufactured saws. @Denny Knappen, anything?
  22. OCtoolguy
    Hawks take some learning on setting blade tension. One you have it set at the rear of the saw you shouldn't to touch it again. There is a video on bushton.com.

    Tempered glass breaks easily if struck just right. A sharp hard point is all it takes.
  24. OCtoolguy
    Beautiful work. Unique idea too.

    Getting old frightens me.
