    I see that you replaced the Bauer scroll saw chucks with the Pegas. I replaced the top chuck with a Pegas almost right away, but not the bottom. Today I was having problems with the bottom chuck so I removed the nuts and bolts along with the chuck bolt and the thumbscrew. I couldn't get the bottom chuck off by pulling on it. I gave it a couple of wacks with chisel and a hammer but it didn't move. I didn't want to hit it too hard in fear of knocking the arm out of alignment. Did you have any problem removing the lower Bauer chuck?

    After putting the bolts back It turned out that the blade bolt on the right side had loosened and after I tightened it I had no issues.

      Like the top chuck the bottom has sleeves running thru the hole the screws go thru including the chuck. I pushed mine out with a screw driver, there's replacements with the Pegas chucks.

      Hawk-You're right and I didn't take that into account. Thank you.

      Your advice on the sleeves was right. I installed the Pegas bottom clamp on the bottom arm and had nothing but headaches. I bent blades in the bottom chuck more than once, and every blade bent at the tip. It appeared to me that the Pegas clamp didn't extend out far enough so the blades were going in at an angle. I took the bottom clamp out, put the Bauer back in and everything's hunky dory. I don't like that the Bauer clamps have stops at the top and bottom so you really have get the blade in just right, but I'll settle for it after my failed experiment with using the Pegas clamps on the bottom.
