Last year I purchased a second hand Hegner Multicut 2SV and while I find the cutting and quality great I didn’t like the way the blower pipe directed the dust towards the front of the machine (see first image).
I looked on the Hegner UK website and found an upgrade kit - but it’s quite expensive.
My solution was to use a flexible coolant pipe. Drilled out the valve to ~5mm to increase airflow. The inner diameter of the coupling is a push fit onto the Hegner blower metal pipe (see other images) The flexible pipe now blows the dust sideways.
Cost of upgrade: less than £6 (<10% of the Hegner UK parts)
