I've had one for about a 15 years or so. It's served me pretty well. It's showing it's age a bit now. Mostly it doesn't move up & down as smoothly as it once did, but otherwise it still works fine. I put a new armature in it 10-12 years ago. Not sure why it failed, but it's been fine ever since.
I don't know anything about the ones made today though. They offered a 2 speed one and I read comments on other forums about the speed selector switch going out on them and it only would run on one speed anyway. Not sure how prevalent a problem that was.Homer : "Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter. Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain."

I have one and it serves my purpose. It only has two blades instead of three. Three could keep them sharper longer. The blades seem to knick pretty easily. I'm careful about what I put through it but I still seem to get more grooves than I think I should. For all the more I use it, I feel it was a good buy.Keith

Dan : When I was first starting out I bought the portable 12" Delta and it was OK for a while - until I started planeing the hard woods and I found out that it would burn it up soon . So I used a friends - now a older model Grizzly 15" 2HP planer and it was the cats Meow . Well I brought one and have never regretted it , the new one's are 3 HP now . I have since bought a lot of the bigger Grizzly tools , now I know there not made it the USA , but the quality is there - and are cheaper too -I have used them long enought to know ..........MBUsually busier than a cat in a sandbox !!!!!!!!!!!

Reply to Question about tilting head sawsby cwmageeThe last time I visited with Denny Winter 2020, I had an opportunity to try out the PEGA Saw that Denny has set up in his store. I was extremely impressed with the saw performance. It will be the saw that replaces my EX21 when I need a replacement. When I visite Denny I was considering purchasing it...

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby Jim McDonaldWhen I worked retail, we would have products plainly labeled "One rebate per address". And people would go ballistic six weeks later when their claims for three or four got shot down.
Can't imagine if it had been in small print like the ads of today.-

by mccrookstonFirst time posting.
I have a Pegas Scroll Saw that is almost 2 years old.
I saw about 1-2 hours a night right now and the speed will slow down and speed up on its own.
Sometimes it will run full speed for a week and then switch to slow for a week.
Any ideas on what might be causing...-

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby will8989That is the one store I physically get sick as soon as I walk in. The odor of rubber is overwhelming and I’m good for 3 minutes before I have to leave. Sure glad other stores aren’t like that. Hmmm maybe my bank balance would be higher if they were.

Reply to Harbor Fraughtby Bill WilsonI wonder if their effort to offer better quality products may have something to do with it. Seems like they want to market themselves as something more than just a cheap tool supplier. Maybe reducing the number of things eligible for the big discount coupons is part of a campaign to change their image....
