I was happy that the ordered scroll saw parts came so quickly. I have done some scrolling since I installed the parts and so far I am very impressed with the quality and how easily the blades can be mounted.

The threads for the knobs on the original top head on my Dewalt stripped out so after reading so many good reviews on the Pegas heads, I decided to try them. Fast delivery and so far, they're very good.

Impressive! 2024-01-09

I purchased the Pegas Chuck head for my Dewalt scroll saw and I am very impressed with several aspects of it. First off, the ease of replacing my original chuck head with the new one was incredibly straightforward and simple. There was a very noticeable difference in the tension in my blades which makes for a better cut. Finally the vibration I was experiencing is almost gone.All in all I am very happy with this item and highly recommend it to others.

The stock heads on my Dewalt saw were wearing out. I have been a customer for quite some time now and have read good reviews on the Pegas products so I thought I would give the replacement heads a try. They are a fantastic upgrade to the saw and I highly recommend them.

Received the Pegas chucks quickly. I was a bit apprehensive about the install at first but once I got into it all was good. I think my sawing accuracy has improved which is what the goal was.

I installed these chuck heads on my DeWalt scroll saw and was immediately impressed by the reduced noise and vibration. These blade clamps have not slipped once since I installed them. Installation was straight forward and simple.

Very happy with Bear Woods 2023-01-18
By Joe Verhulst
My only gripe was the shipping, promised 2 days, albeit, it was ordered just before a holiday and Canada post shut down for aprlonger break so it took better than 2 weeksto arrive.....Canada post is natoriously slow at best....so Bearwoods may want to rethink using the PO.
Overall Bear Woods are excellent people to deal with.

replacement scroll saw blade clamps by Pegas for dewalt Scroll Saw Chuck Heads by Pegas - For Delta & DeWalt Scroll Saws SKU: SS-DWPEGAS-CHUCK Price: CAD $114.95

Blade Chuck Heads Made for Delta 690 & Delta 40-694 & DeWalt 788 Scroll Saws

Set of Upper and Lower Blade Clamps - These new “Blade Chuck Heads” (also known as Scroll Saw Blade Clamps) were developed in Switzerland by Pégas in association with the HEIG engineering school in Yverdon. The studies and the tests demonstrated that the weight of these heads is in direct relation with the service life and the vibrations of the machine.

See Steve Good of the Scroll Saw Workshop's full review, plus detailed assembly instructions.

This replacement parts set includes lower and upper blade clamps compatible with the Dewalt DW788-20 inch scroll saw, and the Delta 40-694-20 inch scroll saw.  Works perfectly for BOTTOM and TOP feeding scrollers.

1) These new heads are slightly lighter than the original Dewalt/Delta Chuck Heads. 

2) Vibration will be greatly reduced

3) Changing Blades is easier and faster

4) Better protection of the mechanical parts of the scroll saw.

5) The assembly of these new Heads is very simple and takes only a few minutes.

Note - The Set Screws and Thumb Screws are wear parts on any blade clamps, and should be replaced every few months or couple of years depending on how much you use your scroll saw - Click here to see our selection of renewal kits.
