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.
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.
