Thank you

I have the scroll saw and the blades (about $1300 value) listed at $625 or $650. I don't remember which price. Shipping woukd be hundreds of dollars. I don't want to do that.

Hello my friends. I really wanted to get into scrolling and intarsia. I bought a pegas scroll saw, stand and a whole bunch of Pegas blades. I also bought a foredom lathe with adapters so that I can run the inflatable drums that Judy Gayle Roberts sells. I've run into some health issues plus my daughter/granddaughters bought a fixer mobile that needs a lot of work. My girls have had a rough life and need me. If I'm feeling good I help them. I live in northern California(Red Bluff). I've tried to sell everything I've listed on Craigslist list and FB marketplace for what I feel is a great price. I haven't even got one call. Not even from the Craigslist scammers. Is there a place I can sell it. Are there clubs near by? Should I list in bigger cities. Sacramento CA is 2 hours away. San Francisco is about 3 hours,away. Any ideas? Thanks Brian

Just came across this a few hours from my house. Says made in Canada. How old would this saw be. They want $400. I love the color. Purple saw would go with My beautiful Peggy "Pegas" I don't think I could convince my wife I need to get a third saw. I just got the new Delta for my granddaughters. Purple saw looks to be in great shape though. Oh the Delta has a name. "Odellia" my granddaughters last name is O'dell.

I ordered the delta. At 12:15am Sunday I noticed I only had a day to make the decision. Last day it's on sale

So far 3 votes for Delta. On erreplacements.com they only show sleeves as an option. No bearings are listed

There has been a lot of talk about the dewalt dw788. In a recent post someone got a type 1 dewalt. There were a few recommendations for getting a new delta instead. Now that I got 'Peggy' my new Pegas my 2 older grandaighthers are watching YouTube videos wanting to do Fretwork and Intarsia. I need to get something for them to use. Can you give me a vote. Type 1 or new delta. I've got a type 1 with stand lined up for $240. I can't find any old Excalibers on Craigslist or ebay..

I sold a lot of the tools I had that were more for building furniture and cabinets. If I didn't I would have never been able to afford all this stuff at once. It felt great to be able to buy a really nice new tool. Any if my tools worth more then $150 have been bought used.

I just got my Pegas scroll saw today. I've named her Peggy❤. I've been talking to her all afternoon. Denny has shipped my Pegas blades. Intarsia.com is sending me the flexible sanding drums, foredom lathe, pnuematic drums. Fun week

Hi Kevin, I'm getting better. I don't know what they gave me. I just picked up some anti biotics today. Still having a hard time breathing. That could be due to the bronchitis I had for 7 weeks. Pegas is due 2/26

Hi Kevin, this bee sting has been bad. I went to the ER Sunday night. My neck has a huge knot( still does) the redness and swelling are starting to go down now. I ordered the Pegas and stand from Bear wood yesterday. I will order the blades from Dennis on this forum. Shipping from Tennessee to Cali. would have been too much coming from Dennis.

The only scroll saw on marketplace in northern california is a older RBI 220-3. Serial 8875. Kevin do you know how old it is. It's only $75. Im not interested it looks to be pre barrel clamp and it's missing the whole rear tensioning mechanism ( handle/wedge/bolt.) Maybe his parts he has might be worth something to someone. I've got someone coming to get my RBI next Thursday. I've got a Pegas in the cart at bear wood. I plan on submitting the order soon. I got stung be a bee yesterday morning and my neck is red and swollen and warm. Making sure I'm not going to croak with a reaction. My mom and son are allergic to bee stings so im not sure what's going on with me. My wife would rather have $900 then have a scroll saw show up at my door the day of my funeral2

Paul, I just messaged Kevin. Told him I have a Pegas in the cart at bear wood. Shipping from Dennis in Tennessee was going to cost to much to CA. As I have mentioned I have a RBI Hawk Ultra 226vs. I currently have it for sale for $350. Hoping to get $300. I'd like to have easier blade changes. I've been hitting the village forums pretty hard. It has crossed my mind to keep the RBI. I've been advised that getting a extra scroll saw for grandkids may not be the best idea. Kids can lose interest. My grandkids do do craft woodwork a lot and would rather do something with their hands then watch tv. I could bypass the whole $900+ saw and have 2-3 RBI saws for another$600. Is using a Pegas or similar A lot easier then RBI. What if a motor goes out Am I stuck. From what I have heard from Kevin's post RBI is a company that isn't very responsive to its customers. All I see on the bushton website is new saws and ultra blade clamps. Should I go forward with the Pegas or consider the having a few RBI saws and several bottom clamps

There is a 1 year old larger hegner about 4 hours from me. He may come down a bit. Looks like it was used about 5 hours now sits. He's wanting $1400. If he comes down quite a bit should I go for it. Most talk about seyco, pegas, Excalibur and Dewalt. Those that talk of hegner say it's a tank that will last forever. I know I don't see them in Steve Goods shop, or in Judy Gale Roberts Shop to people that I've been following. I had a older Hegner 14 and I hated changing blades.

Okay, ive talked to Dennis, he was very helpful. I emailed Steve Good. He spent a lot of time writing me a very helpful email. It looks like Pegas will be a better saw for my grandkids. It appears the saw will be more user friendly. It looks like it might be a lot easier to assemble the Pegas. Which will actually be better for me. I had leukemia in 05 and my brain is still really foggy. There are a lot of pegas owners on this site and they can talk to me if I have a problem. I may have to get my saw from bear wood. I'm WAY OVER on the west coast. The shipping from Tennessee may be over $250. I am waiting to hear from Dennis for a final shipping cost. If shipping is going to be to high I'll get the saw at bear and the blades from Dennis. Thanks for everything Brian

Okay, ive been able to find a lot in your forums about seyco and pegas. Still afraid to make that $900 decision

Hi my name is Brian. I'm selling my RBI Hawk 226vs. Don't like the blade clamps much. After reading a thread from Oct. About seyco vs pegas I was leaning towards pegas. However I sent a email to Ray at Seyco and he called me. I really like him. Seyco is on sale with free shipping. It makes the saws about the same price with stand. $900+ is A LOTof money for me. I don't want to make a mistake. I want a saw that I can pass down to my grandkids. They want to do scroll work. Pegas has a lot of distributera, there is only one Seyco. Ray appears to be a older gentlemen. If Ray retires and me or my grandkids need help in 5-10 years who do you go to for help. Another ? I have is it appears that Ray is really a fan of Seyco's blade tilt. Seyco's site points out the difference in tilt mechanisms kind of like the rack in pinion style of tilt like Excalibur, pegas, jet. But I haven't scrolled that much yet so I honestly don't understand why the rack in pinion would be so bad. I feel Ray at Seyco would know best so I feel like just trusting him but at $900+ I really would like any more advice you all might have. I know this ? Was asked 4 months ago. Perhaps a lot of people have purchased these saws or had more time on them to give me more input. Oh and what's the best way to break the news to your wife that you're spending $900+ on a saw. Thanks Brian
