Beautiful work Paul, I knew you had it in you!

The 735 has two feed speeds. The faster speed is for rough planing. When you are close the the thickness you want, you flip it over to the slow speed. This leaves a very smooth finish, about 150 grit sand paper. On some woods, I don’t even have to finish sand! I don’t see any reason for a spiral head. I’ll say it again, I love my 735!

I love my DeWALT 735!

Looks great Ray! A+

You can do anything you want behind the scenes, just don’t share it on the forum.

Beautiful so far! What wood did you use?
-
Congratulations! It will take a few try’s to figure it out, but once you do, you’ll love it!

Nice work as always Brenda! The only thing my wife irons is her quilt squares!

Hey Ralph, even Pegas blade clamps need maintenance. The tips of the thump screw need to be dressed with 220 grit sand paper. Here’s how I do it. I use a square piece of 3/8” wood about two or three inches square. Using a drill press, drill a hole in the center just smaller then the diameter of the threads of the thumb screw. You need to use a drill press to insure the hole is perpendicular. Then screw the thumb screw into the the hole in the wood blank insuring it screws in perpendicular. Screw it in till the the tip just barely protrudes The bottom of the wood. Place a small piece of 220 grit sand paper on your saw table and sand the bottom of the wood block. This will dress the tip of the thumb screw. You want it to be dull and flat. Or you can buy new tips from Denny. as far as the noise, I can’t help you there. Chances are all the bearings need to be lubed. The grease in the bearings has probably dried out from sitting in a hot storage room for a year. Or, you can buy a new saw!

The 16” King should be close to the same quality as the Pegas saw. Change over to the Pegas blade clamps and you will have a top notch saw!
-
yup!

Of course now that links have been posted on these products, the prices will go up!

Yes, I have a Pegas saw. It is a little lighter than the DeWALT saw because the DeWALT hast a cast iron table and the Pegas table is plate steel. It definitely is a top feeding saw. And it comes with the world famous Pegas blade clamps. As for the actual weight, I don’t know for sure. Maybe Denny @Denny Knappen will chime in as he is a Pegas dealer.

Thanks Jim!

that’s not cutting, it’s burning!

Thanks Ray!

So sad to hear. He was a friend to all in this forum.

Looks good Charlie! He’s my wife’s favorite Dr Who.

Great job Charlie! I always liked Rod except for the disco years!

The thing to consider is a type II is about 20-25 years old. Good shape or not, the bearings will need to be replaced, sooner or later. $300 is a bit much. Before you buy, you need to try it out at all speeds. If it doesn’t rattle or vibrate excessively, offer $200. I have owned both a type I and type II saws. They are all the same with the same problems.

Ok, I asked Siri. She said it was his left ear. Either way, it’s a great project Charlie!
-
Something that you might think about adding to your saw!

I’m with Dave and Dan. I can cut a straight line good enough for scroll work. If I need a straight outside line I cut it with my table saw. If it’s an inside straight line, I know which scroll saw blade to use to make a straight cut. By the time it takes to set the fence for blade drift, I could be done with the cut free hand.
