    New member needing advice on 1st scroll saw purchase!

    Just a wee update. The dust blower arrived yesterday as did the blades I ordered. Although I will need to buy a couple of parts the machine works perfectly, not as noisy as we thought it would be and fitting the blade was fairly straight forward. My other half really likes the foot pedal as...

    I phoned Hegner this morning with the part numbers provided by mac1012(Cheers) and total cost was around the £35 mark. Emailed the seller on ebay to suggest a partial refund to cover this and he has since emailed to say that he is posting the part out to me so hopefully all will be well...

    Don't really want the hassle of chasing up a refund. I priced the extras that came with the Hegner and they seem to be worth a couple of hundred so I don't mind spending a little to get it up to scratch. Will be testing when some blades arrive which will hopefully be today or tomorrow. Will...

    Thanks for all the help guys, really is useful as a complete novice at this. I can take better quality pictures on my camera tomorrow, I used the ipad earlier to take the photos and they are not the best quality. From what you can see from the current pictures, should I be looking at a refund...

    Well the Hegner turned up and all seems ok. Need to a blade/s to test it properly. The air dust hose was missing though and I've emailed the seller to see if he has it to send on to me. If he doesnt and I need to buy does anybody know where I can source one and for how much. I cant seem to...

    I asked him before making payment and he said he had 2 models with same extras etc. If it goes pear shaped I paid using a credit card through paypal so should be covered.

    Well after all the great advice I have bought a Hegner Multicut 1 from ebay. Bit unsure if I've done the right thing though! It cost me £250 and postage on top but comes with a few extras but there is no blades with it, hoping it is straight forward to get going. My partner and me are totally...

    Thanks for all the replies folks. Going to keep an on fleabay for a Hegner or possibly buy a new one. I assume the multicut 1 model would be suffice for my partners needs?

    Thanks for the reply. Not sure really, was advice given to my partner at a craft fair where she had a stall. The chap who gave the advice is a wood turner, he adviced the variable speed with a slow setting of 400. He sells bigger pieces of driftwood carved/shaped into objects. My partner...
