How to Install Pegas Chuck Heads on DW788 Saw

I made a video of installing the new Pegas chuck heads for my DeWalt dw788 saw back in April. I will be making a follow up video on how they work. Below I will have a link to Steve Good's analysis on the less vibrations and technical info from his experience as a scroll sawyer much longer than I.

Glad it was helpful!

I have to get the one that fits my scroll saw. I guess the only time one has to worry is when a blade breaks, I wonder if that's an easy thing to connect on the bottom? Thanks Miter....

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

yes it is easy now after a few days of trying you remember where the blade goes by memory..... we need to get you an upgraded saw, you'll get hooked.

Hi Mike, I see this video a year old I’ve tried finding this one for the DeWalt but doesn’t appear to be making the one with the tensioning arm, remember where you purchased it from? Thanks, and stay Healthy

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

if you are talking about the chuck heads? i got from bear woods bit.ly/chuckhead if you are talking about the arm to hold up i got it from Hector, but currently he is not making any. If you have any engineering background you could make one.....let me know if i can help. we are staying safe. thanks for watching.

Good video Mike. Will you be doing a follow-up video in a month or so to let us know your thoughts on this mod?

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

yes I am working on one now. Funny you asked.....

[@mandydrew3024]

Hey Mike I see that you are using the Pegasus choke head with the tension lever where did you purchase that? I can’t find one with the tension lever? For a Dewalt scroll saw

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Mandy, if you go to www.bearwood.com you can order from there, if you use coupon code MITERMIKE you will get a few dollars off.

👍nice job take care

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Thank you for watching.

[@Yourtrashmytreasure]

Nice review Mike. After using it for a while did you have any problems with the set screw slipping?

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Once I set the screws it never moved. Blade slippage sometimes happens because of the oils that are on the blades, I just sand the top of them lightly and no issues...

[@jamesrich566]

Is this an improvement over the Dewalt System ?

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Yes, it made a great difference in the clamping of the blade and using the tension.

[@richardabbott1932]

Would it be better to use the Pegasus blade holders without the tension lever up front on the Dewalt 788? The normal lever is right there anyway.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

thanks for watching. i only use the tensioner on the Pegas head. if i am cutting for a while and the blade starts to stretch i can use the dewalt tensioner to 1 and make it taught again finish my cut and then normal everything for the next hole. it also is easier on my wrist and forearm not using the dewalt tensioner.
