thanks Tony

Thanks for the reply,I ordered some of that tacky glue from amazon.Mean while I'm going to try a test with the gorilla glue

The stain I want to use is minwax penetrating stain in a ebony shade.I have some gorilla glue that may work.

So I'm in the process of cutting Sue Mey's house with out a cat pattern and I want to put a dark stained baltic birch backer on it.Can I use wood glue to glue the oak cut out to the pre stained backer? If not what glue would you recomend?

I'll have to check out the excaliber manual. My lever is not difficult to push to far, That being said now that I know where to put it it works great.Despite my earlier moaning the saw is very good.they could improve the manual though.

Thanks Kev, I've been working crazy hours lately so my shop time is precious to me right now that's probably why I was more upset than I should have been. And for anyone interested the pegas manual is lousy. for instance it says to check the upper arm is parallel to the table but no info on what to do if it isn't, no instructions on how to load blades and of course the clamp thing.You would think a $750 dollar saw would have a better manual, heck my brand new $79 dollar dewalt random orbit sander had a much larger and informative manual than this saw. Anywho that being said the saw cuts very well now and is quiet and practically no vibes what so ever,so all's well that ends well, lol

And thanks for all the replys

Sorry for the delay folks,just got out of work a bit ago. I feel like an idiot sort of, the manual made no mention of the lever position other than saying either open or close it. Then I came across this on the bear woods website apparently I was doing it wrong

So I just got my new 21" pegas two weeks ago and I finally got around to assembling this past weekend.What happens is some times the blade tension lever just pops up on it's own. Some times if I adjust the tension it works fine for awhile and I take the blade out of the top holder to bottom feed re apply the tension and the lever pops up again. Any body have a clue as to what could be going on? The way I feel now I should ship it back and get a different saw..............super disappointed and dejected ,Bill

Wow dgman that rig looks great!

Yea it's a bit much, I'll have to find a less expensive option.Maybe a FEIN vac with a dust deputy.I'm still in the planning stages right now so no hurry

It is very expensive and there are practically no reviews for it anywhere.One of the fein vacs may do the trick,they seem to be pretty quiet.At least most of the reviews say they are.

Anyone own one of these? Thoughts and opinions are appreciated. I'm looking to get back into scrolling after a ten year hiatus and good quite efficient dust collection is a must as i will be working in the basement thanks in advance, Bill
