Thanks Kevin! I'm looking at this one: https://www.seyco.com/sdc-300-seyco-sanding-dust-collection-center/ Seyco said they could configure it with one of their standard sanding drums AND a gizmo I can use to attach my 1/4" shank 3M sanding disk. Thanks again for your reply. Brian

Kevin, you mentioned that you have a Seyco dust collector - what model do you have? Brian

Yes, you did get a good deal! Especially since one cne buy a brand new Delta for $350 at Home Depot. I have one of those Delta's and almost identical to the DeWalt BUT with a 5 year warranty! Why did you sell? What are you using now? bb

I bought the Pegas set for my Delta scroll saw. But the blade chuck/clamps have not been any better than what came with the Delta. After six months I am now having to use pliers to tighten the Pegas blade clamps. Same drill with the Delta clamps. So I don't really see any advantage to the Pegas blade chuck/clamps. The original Delta saw I bought 18 months ago had to go in for warranty repairs on January 27. And just got it back this week! Over 5 months to repair! I knew it might be a problem and that's why I bought a second Delta on sale at Home Depot to cover me while the first one was in for repair. There is a 5 year warranty on the Delta. I would like to hear about all those Pegas saws out there. How are they holding up? Bear in mind I use a saw daily since I have a puzzle business! And wear out a Delta and DeWalt after 12-18 months. If the Pegas saw is any better I would buy as it is pain to take in the Deltas and DeWalts for for repair. And if there is a problem with the Pegas saws how do you get it repaired? Fortunately there are Delta and DeWalt repair centers within an hour of where I live. bb

I have seen the elephant pattern before. A search of the net reveals this: bb

where can I find the pattern? bb

I tried that. Bummer! bb

My first attempt using the Deft product was miserable. I found I didn't shake the can enough. bb

applying shellac by hand is a problem. Try rattle can shellac and don't touch until completely dry. I use Sherwin Williams Chem Aqua Plus lacquer via air spry gun and don't touch the pieces until dry. I lay the puzzle pieces on bump-ons in a strip of wood 3" x 4'. The piece of wood rests on a lazy susan device so it can be rotated with ease to coat all ends and a surface. After the initial coat is dry, I will flip the pieces and recoat the edges and the uncoated surface. I do all of this outside on a deck. Unfortunately the Sherwin Williams product only comes in a gallon - no rattle cans. You might consider a water based sealant made by Deft that comes in a rattle can. https://www.amazon.com/Deft-Interior-Water-Based-11-25-Ounce-Aerosol/dp/B0017OKFQ2 bb

Perfect to make and give to your local "Toys for TOTS" Christmas initiative! bb

Thank you very large! I would have paid a lot more today! And at my age every hour counts before the grim reaper appears. bb

Good idea. Thanks! bb
