I do agree with Brian re the rollers, it is just a minor niggle and according to your reply being sorted anyway. I have no connection with Axminster nor do I have one of the saws in question but I do think they look a decent machine and I am impressed that they are changing the rogue rollers it...

Superb work, I would be proud if I could do work like this.

If you are planning to just cut circular cuts similar to a bandsaw but tighter cuts any cheap [NEW] saw will do the job, However if you want do do any serious scroll saw/fretwork do not consider a cheap type saw (lot's are available under different badges, most are the same saw though) A cheap...

Have a look at my thread on this here post905860.html?hilit=quick%20clamp#p905860 Includes picture of my Mod

Did you see my link in my post above for the Quick blade clamp? http://www.hegner.co.uk/quick-clamp-for-piercework.html Your image is the quick tension release as fitted to the Multicut 2 range, it does not fit the multicut 1.

What saw have you bought? :)

http://www.hegner.co.uk/quick-clamp-for-piercework.html It is an essential item if you are doing serious work with internal cuts.

I may be wrong but I don't think it will work with the multicut one. You should consult Hegner before ordering it. I am not fully conversant with the Multicut 1 but I understand it has a tension lever at the back of the arm now. But do check before buying!

Good move that, IMHO the quick blade change adaptor is 100% essential especially if one is doing work with lot's of internal cuts, one of my pieces recently had 126 internal cuts, imagine fiddling with that infernal allen key every time.

Lol don't worry I am used writing the same stuff regularly, not sure if anyone is interested in reading it though! :lol:

That is superb. :D

Not sure if my post in this thread is visible to you? But I have actually given my view on both machines you mention in the post above yours! :o

For many years I did all of my fretcutting with a Hobbies hand-frame but since I bought my first motorised fretsaw 30 odd years ago I have hardly used it. A handsaw will do the work but it's no where near so much fun as using the motorised version. :)

Have been a scroll saw user for 30 years and own 3 scroll saws inc a Hegner which I purchased in 1999. So here is my take on your predicament if it's any help to you. Build quality of Hegner is about as good as it gets, reliability is also about as good as it gets but as sunny bob mentions if...

Sounds like you have been very unlucky with that motor, I spent most of my working life in the electronics/electrical business with 25 years repairing domestic appliances and I can say it is very rare to have trouble with induction motors, they are generally extremely reliable by virtue of their...

Had you asked for advice on a saw for doing scroll sawing I would 100% recommend you spend more and get a decent quality machine, however as you suggest you only want it to cut out shapes for carving rather than using a band saw then I would suggest one of the cheapo saws would do the job for...

IMHO The very best thing to buy someone who is new to scroll-sawing is to buy them a copy of Patrick Spielmans book "Scrollsaw handbook" it covers everything one needs to know and is in my opinion an essential buy for anyone who uses a scroll saw. There are two versions and both are good they...

To be honest unless you have no choice I don't really see any advantage in using pinned blades, you can buy normal (pinless) blades from 00 (very fine) size up to a No 11 (very heavy) in various types at very reasonable prices and they are widely available. As far as types of blade go...

I really do feel for you, it is dreadful to lose a pet even when they are older and you know it's going to happen, it is a shock to they system. We lost our lovely GSD in April (from cancer he was only around 6 or 7 yrs old) we still miss him dreadfully and not a single day passes that I don't...

My advice would be go for variable 100%, for cutting thin and delicate work you will find it invaluable, it's especially worthwhile for people new to fretsawing but is also good for experienced users. Variable speed does cost a considerable amount more on a Hegner this is due to the fact that...
