Had no issue installing the chuck on a DW788.
However, I must have missed the direction on where the lever should be for proper function. Thank to Michael Murray, my issues were quickly resolved and am successfully cutting out patterns. Time will tell if the lever pops up on its own again.

Thank you for sending me the Pegas Chuck Head. I bought one several years ago and it was just worn out.
The new one worked for a week or so then the blade tightener kept popping loose. So I added Velcro to keep it locked..then about a week later when loosening it the adjuster wouldn't loosen.. so I put some lube on it and now I don't have any Velcro on it and it works like it's was supposed to..
I use my Excalber 30" scroll saw almost every day..We bought the small house next door and I gutted it even the floor joist were removed.. they I leveled the craw space then had concrete poured.. It's just a woodshop now.
Years ago I made name plaques for governors, senators, a bunch of musicians, NFL players and actors.. they always sent me a thank you letter
I've never charged for them..

Pegas replacement chuck heads Scroll Saw Chuck Heads by Pegas - For Excalibur type saws SKU: SS-PEGAS-CHUCK Price: $99.95

Upgrade your Scroll Saw with Pegas Blade Chuck Heads - 40% lighter, Less Vibration.

See list below for compatibility - This version also works with DeWalt and Delta models listed below.

Upper and Lower Scroll Saw Blade Clamp Replacement Set.  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.

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.

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.

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.
