I have a 30 inch excaliber scroll saw and these Pegas chuck heads are a game changer. I wish I had them long ago . I do lots of fret work and they make blade adjustments a breeze.

I am so glad we found these chuck heads; we were just about to write off our Excalibur scroll saws as dead. The chucks work great!

Great product 2024-08-08

Was a little hesitant on ordering these for my Dewalt DW788. I'm so glad I did. Install was easy and fast. Didn't realize how worn out the original guides were. These are so much better. No slippage of blades. Quick release is so much better and faster for inserting blade through holes for fret work. My saw feels like a new saw. Well worth the investment.

The chuck heads work much better than the original chucks on my scroll saw. Blades are the best.

Pegas Blade Chuck Heads - 40% lighter, Less Vibration.

Compatible with many popular brands including DeWalt, Excalibur, Excelsior, Delta, WEN and Bauer.

See list below for full compatibility.

Set of Upper and Lower Scroll Saw Blade Clamp Replacements.  These new “Blade Chuck Heads” (also known as 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.

1) These new heads, manufactured with aeronautical aluminum for resilience and optimal weight, are 40 % lighter than you original 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.

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.

As you can see, they are clearly more compact than original heads and even easier of use. The assembly of these new Heads is very simple and takes only a few minutes.


All parts are included to make this quick and simple replacement.  Steve Good's review above also shows how to remove your existing blade clamps and install the new one.
