That's interesting, drives me mad that does; little cut outs that stubbornly won't drop out, I fiddle about with the end of a blade that's nearby which often bends but it seems I will do anything no matter how awkward and inefficient to remove these cuts out rather than get up off my seat and...

Some useful info here http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPort ... e=document It's a bit of a grey area and a lottery, sometimes you have to pay other times it slips through.

When I bought my Hegner 15 years ago the AWFS18 did not exist but had it done so I am pretty sure I would have bought one rather than the Hegner, never tried one but it looks like a carbon copy to me. The Hegners are well made and quality but IMHO they are overpriced and the amount they charge...

Jamie sorry to go off topic but noticing your saw table in the picture, the blade aperture looks quite large which does make it difficult when cutting smaller parts, have you considered making up an auxiliary wooden table to place on top with a much smaller hole for the blade to go through? I...

Not sure of an answer here Jamie, what sort of hardener do you mean? Won't it interfere with any finish? Be interested if anyone comes up with an answer to this as I do a lot of delicate work that breaks easily.

Jamie, sorry you misunderstood me I understood your comment and was trying to reinforce it, my fault I probably should not have quoted your post. You have nowt to be sorry for. :)

Hi Jamie, I found the post in question insulting to the decent people who give their time posting here trying to help others, the advice given may be appreciated by the person asking for advice or perhaps they don't want to hear it, however when someone joins a forum then posts their first...

Kierri, I have no experience of the Axminster saw you have other than noticing it looks a dead copy of the Hegner saws and I can't guarantee the rollers would fit but I bet they will! What I can say is that my Hegner quick tension clamp has had massive use, I do hundreds of internal cuts and the...

TBH I think that is a bit unfair, You may have considered it a waste of time but the people who post here give out a lot of worthwhile and valuable advice to those who come here and ask, they don't get any benefit nor rewards for doing so, some here spend ages typing out helpful comments and...

I have had my Hegner since 1999 and the plastic rollers are still fine so perhaps they are much better than the Axminster ones, as the Axminster looks like a perfect copy of the Hegner would it not be better to buy some Hegner rollers at £1.48 for the pair...

It's just recycled stuff that was thrown away by others but treasure to me! The owl part is some old plywood from the sides of a chest of drawers it had some old veneer on but underneath it was good ply so I removed the veneer with a chisel and cleaned it up with a random orbital sander. the...

Made this for my Sister, we call her Lady Bucket (Bouquet from TV keeping up appearances) cos she is fussy and a bit snobby! She admired the one I made with the Geese on and she likes owls.

Indeed mine broke at the bottom clamp too and I do what you do that is reinsert and use the shorter blade, however sometimes they get all bent up when they snap, the worse thing is that sometimes when doing very fine cutting a snapped blade can damage the work which is really annoying. How are...

Am I the only one here who really hates it when the blade breaks! I have been doing some fine work today using some FD Ultra reverse blades and the damn things keep breaking. every time it happens I almost jump out of my seat! The blades do cut well but I reckon they are too brittle or something...

Jimmy, if you want to have a look at a manual you will find an online one here - http://www.scrollsaws.com.au/operating- ... -australia

I have always though that the hold down foot was perhaps useful for people new to scroll-saws but once one gets used to scrolling it was dispensed with. I have never felt the need for a hold down foot and feel that if I had one it would get in the way. I would suggest trying the saw without...

Good idea painting the blade holder Chris, I remember you mentioning it some while ago and I forgot all about your excellent advice. I have spent ages looking for the damn things, they always seem to jump into the most inaccessible places. On one occasion I spent ages looking for one and found...

Good point Martin, it's what I did but failed to mention in my comment. I must say that since I added this lever to the knurled knob I have found it much easier on my fingers when doing a lot of internal cuts. :)

Here is a thread about my way of modifying the quick clamp knob! modified-my-hegner-quick-clamp-t83062.html

Did you try running a piece of fine emery paper inside the clamp where the blade fits? Sometimes it can get a bit waxy or greasy allowing the blade to slide down. I agree with what you say about the quick clamp, at the price they charge for them you ought to be able to buy either just the clamp...
