Mine broke in the same place last week and I spoke to Ray at Seyco about it. Apparently they had a bad batch of that piece that they had determined had been over-hardened making it brittle. It's only a problem on that particular batch...My replacement parts are on the way now. ... I guess we are the lottery winners
Got the old Dewalt out and man is it hard to cut small detail work with it. I REALLY notice the front-to-back blade motion now after getting used to the Excalibur! My designs are sitting on hold while I wait for the parts.
On the plus side, Sheila got a large production order and was forced to use the Dewalt. These are simple, easy silhouettes for painting surfaces and it turns out that the aggressive blade motion gives the Dewalt the advantage of cutting quite a bit faster on such simple patterns. This is a good thing since she has to cut out over 2000 ornaments!Last edited by Keith Fenton; 05-12-2012, 01:33 PM.

same ol'
Same thing happened to me, twice! and i live in Honduras, so you can imagine the trouble to have that fixed.
Ray was very helpful tough and he sent me the whole arm with an spare screw, which broke again, and have to use the old screw, which so far is working. Ray said that he will send me a special screw but if it brakes again i think i will be going to a metal shop (?) to have one custom made.
hope you can fix your machine as i do know how frustrating can be to have that saw not working for a few bucks worth screw.Attached Files

My saw is up and running again! The part that Ray sent to me is quite different from the one that it replaces . I imagine it's the one he was referring to with you, Nayo. It's not even a screw. That whole turnbuckle linkage is replaced and the offending screw is no longer needed. Here's a picture showing the difference between the two.Attached Files

Since the part they sent to me was already set to the correct length, replacing it was not too difficult for me. I suppose it depends on how mechanical you are. Seyco sent me the instructions on how to do it and I didn't find it was that hard to follow. The only trouble I had was in pulling the motor out since it was a little hard to get the shaft to come out of the bearing.

by Sandy OaksA modified Sue Mey pattern to fit 1" x 4" x 10" Hard Maple. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using a Pegas #5 MGT blade. One side says "TEACH". Flip it over and the other side says "LEARN". After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again and another dipping. Comments...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Reply to Help with spray adhesiveby RolfI have used all sorts of methods for putting on patterns. The only time I put a pattern directly on the wood is on Intarsia as the shaping process removes it. I only use blue tape under the pattern on very small projects.
I Use clear removable contact paper (shelf liner) on the wood and...-

Reply to Sanding and calibration disk.by RolfI agree about how it was advertised, but it is my own fault, I know better. Just for curiosity I may strip the paint off and see how true the plate is.
The good thing is that while I had my saw blade off I cleaned it sprayed Crud cutter on it let it sit then wiped it off with a skotchbright...-
