Thanks, I will be opening it up to take a look and will take some pics. Hopefully it may help someone else that may be having similar issues. -
Pegas 21 Inch Arm Adjustment Assy Problems
btseed357 replied to btseed357's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thanks for the great info. Did you access the screw from the rear of the arm? or from the front? It looks like from the front. It looks like on my Pegas, I can only access it from the rear. I may try to open it today and see if it is something as simple as tightening a screw or adding locktite. Just hoping when I open the back of the arm there are no surprises with regard to putting it back on. -

Pegas 21 Inch Arm Adjustment Assy Problems

Godd morning, I was wondering is anyone on this site has ever had to replace ot tighten the 90.750-A58 Assy (Pegas 21 Inch Arm Adjustment Assy) located on the back of the arm? I am currently having problems with the arm adjustment assembly as the assembly (not the knob) is loose and vibrates, whch is causing my blade tension to change as I am cutting. I have not been able to locate anything online except AI generated instructions on how to replace the assembly and they is not very clear and I am unsure of the validity of the instructions. Currently I am using a rubber band to help stabilize the assembly, but it is not a very reliable solution. Any assistance or videos that are out there would be greatly appreciated. TIA, Bob

Thanks, much appreciated. I was at the point of going to one or both of those stores to search them out. I then remembered that my son-in-law has a 3D printer and he is in the process of making the adapters for me.

I wound up buying the longer orange hose as well, I didn't care for the bulky hose that came with the vac. Do you have adapters for your that you can easily plug and unplug the hose from the ports?
-
If I could chime in on this topic and shift gears a little bit, I would like to ask about adapters for other equipment. I have a 12 gallon Rigid Wet/Dry Vac with a 2 1/2 inch end on my hose. This end fits perfectly on my Pegas scroll saw. The problem is the variety of port sizes for my other equipment (band saw, sanders, jointer, etc) that range from 1 3/4 inches to 4 inches. Can anyone recommend an adapter set that has a wide variety of sizes? Currently, I spend about 15 - 20 minutes cleaning up and I would like that time to be applied to other things. TIA, Bob

Does this cleaning method work for the coated table tops such as the Pegas?

I have ordered from them several times without any issues and are now the only folks I use. Their wood quality is as good or better than the competitors. Another huge advantage of using them is how quick they get the wood to you. With other companies, I have had to wait several weeks. Ocooch is shipped out within a few days. They periodically have some pretty good sales and they give 10% veteran discounts.

Thank you for that excellent information. Very helpful and much appreciated.

From what I’ve read gun stock oil needs to be tru-oil to be suitable for using as a varnish. I’ve used it on a few projects and it seems to work but I’m hoping someone can give some pros and cons regarding tru-oil on scroll saw projects. Thanks
-
Thanks. I’ve been searching for them and the only free pattern for a miniature birdhouse is one that I’ve found is on Steve Goods website which is pretty good. After making a couple of them I’m getting the fever and want a little more variety so I ordered the Winfield collection from online.

Finishing is probably my weakest point when it comes to completing a project. Recently I started using gun stock tru oil and it seems to work fine as it dries quickly and doesn’t smell. Does anyone else use it? If so, what are the pros and cons of using tru oil? Thanks in advance.
-
You have mentioned the Winfield Collection in previous comments in Scroll Saw Village. I saw that these are not provided in pdf format, so if you don’t mind me asking, when you got the patterns, were they sent as individual patterns that could easily be copied for multiple uses or were they in a book?

Welcome from Georgia. I started scrolling several years ago when my neighbor gave me an old Dremel 13. I am now using a Pegas 21 and feel like I am learning something new every time I turn it on. It's a great hobby for retirement.
