Hi ChrisR, Thanks so much for your reply. Much appreciated. You said, "I have to be honest I can never for the life of me understand why people seem to think that blade changing on a Hegner is awkward! It is so quick and simple you can practically do it with your eyes closed." Now the thing is...

Hi Chris, Just read your post ChrisR and I was heartened to read the "some cases hundreds of internal cuts, blade threading never a problem". I too have recently watched a few videos of the Excalibur in action (particularly one with Sheila Landry) where she moves at lightning speed from...

Hi Keato, What a gorgeous piece of work. I absolutely love how the grain of the wood around the Sp & Sb looks like a sunburst. It's so artistic and the scroll cutting so accurate. Did you do all of this using your Excalibur? I just recently started looking at them and I'm quite interested myself...

Chippygeoff Thanks for your reply. Having never purchased any MDF I was quite surprised at the cost of a fairly small piece from B&Q. Then, last night on Gumtree I found a piece of 25mm thick MDF measuring 1.5m x 1.1m for the princely sum of nought !!! Ya beauty !!! So, I'm going by this...

Thanks so much to all who have replied. I greatly appreciate your helpful comments so much and am extremely glad I have joined this forum and am meeting such generous fellow woodworkers. Am I correct in assuming that the MDF which has been suggested is considered a vibration "dampener" and so...

Hi Bryan Thanks for the welcome and yes, my question has been answered twice and I'm relieved as I now know that I can make this work when I do indeed purchase this great machine. I really look forward to using one as I miss the Delta I had around 30 years ago and, even back then, it had an LED...

ChippyGeoff, Thanks so much for such an informative and prompt reply. You're a gentleman and a scholar and a chippy to boot! As they used to say in Texas where I lived back in my Delta days, "It don't get no better!" Before I posted, I thought to myself it would probably be a good idea to bolt...

I'm looking at a Hegner Multicut 2S and wondered if any of you chaps could tell me if it would work just sitting on a dining room table? You see, I live in a small flat and wouldn't have a way of bolting it down or using on a stand at present. I have a Dremel Moto Saw which is barely just so so...

Well, this is exactly why I joined this forum : ) A very simple solution and much appreciated. I'll give it a try and am sure that will do the trick. I don't plan on running the drill for more than a few minutes at a time and I'm sure that the Bosch Professional series would more than likely run...

On a previous drill which I owned whilst living in America, my portable drill could be locked at any speed, allowing me to mount it and use both hands for sanding etc. I just bought a fabulous new Bosch GSB 18V drill but there is no such "lock". Can anyone suggest how one might be able to get...
