In my experience the fast slapping that Jmac describes is due to the work moving up and down with the blade due to the work not being held to the table with enough pressure as I suggested above. IMHO this happens with all saws whether it is a £900 Hegner or a Sub £100 cheaper saw, it even...

Are you sure you are holding the wood down on the table firmly enough? the noise you describe sounds just like the wood flapping up and down with the blade, this happens on all saws even a treadle machine if you don't put sufficient pressure on the work to keep it tight to the table, this...

If that is your first attempt I am going to give up! :shock: Very decent work. FWIW I like to call it Fretwork, even back in the 1890 when it became popular it was always referred to as fretwork in England. The most prominent company involved in Fretwork in England The original Hobbies...

Lol You big softy! =D>

Sometimes you can just hold the blade over a almost closed vice for support and just tap the pin out.

Can I just say that I have used the Niqua Reverse tooth blades for many years and always found them very good, I have recently been using the FD blades but in fairness I have not noticed any real difference in cutting or otherwise, the advantage of the FD blades is that they are available in a...

That is a very kind and generous offer Martin. :)

Nowadays I always use the reverse tooth blades, I have a stock of all available sizes from 00 - 9, I do have stocks of regular blades but rarely use them now. The reverse tooth blade helps prevent splintering at the bottom of the work and leaves a finish that needs little sanding. Not much...

Regarding Paypal I have to say that I have been using this since the day Ebay started using it many years ago and have never had any bad experiences. in fact I prefer it and lot's of retailers are starting to use it as a payment method. For one thing the people you are buying from do not have...

The only real need for the quick release blade holder is to make it quick and easy to make internal or piercing cuts, most Hegner users will have several lower blade clamps ready fitted with various blades, it's then simple to unscrew the quick clamp knob unhook the lower clamp with blade and...

User only joined today, looks like spamming a you tube address, have reported to admin.

Actually I think you are using your posts to spam your youtube link. Will report to admin.

I think you will find that Travis Perkins own both Wickes and Toolstaion, which is why they are opening Toolstation counters in some Wickes stores. :)

Am I the only person confused by this post? Are you saying that Hegner need proof that a part is faulty before giving you a free replacement? TBH I would have thought that entirely normal. I imagine that like other companies if they had a part that failed that was known to be due to a...

That's exactly what I had to do with mine, it kept pulling out, very annoying, as you say a bit of tape soon fixed it. :)

You are very lucky and I am envious, if that saw was not made by Hegner or made by Kity with Hegners licence I will eat my hat. Everything about it looks like a Hegner. Even your report of lack of vibration sounds Hegner to me. You got a very rare bargain IMHO. Lol I wish I had kept quiet...

Looking forward to the pictures!

Lol I wonder why 14 years? Why not 13 or 15 years, :lol: personally it is not long enough for me I have stuff saved from the 1960's! :mrgreen:

The Charity put them in their Christmas catalogue (they are only a small charity, all cash raised goes to rehome GSD's) funnily enough the lady emailed me last week and asked if I can make some more as they sold out, which was nice as I feared they might have been stuck with them.:)

3" square pieces can be used to make nice little hanging medallions up to 2 3/4" dia . Here is one I made earlier, I give them to a GSD rescue charity to sell on their stands and at Christmas.
