Thanks

Hi Gerry
Yes a QRC will fit a multicut 1 and in my opinion it is a must for scrolling if doing pierce cuts. You can get them form hegner uk

It is an essential item if you are doing serious work with internal cuts.

I agree it is essential for pierced work but like all Hegner products it is not cheap and their postage charges do not help. Do they have any resellers near you ?

The Hegner spares are never cheap but Hegner's are top quality saws so they will last a lifetime, I fitted the quick release on my Axminster saw (Hegner clone) and it makes a real difference in the time taken to change blades.

Nope no re-seller in Northern Ireland...I thought it looked like this below £47.78 before postal costs
Hegler want circa £370 inc VAT and Delivery for the actual machine so thought I could combine the postage

Is this the proper part?

Did you see my link in my post above for the Quick blade clamp?

Your image is the quick tension release as fitted to the Multicut 2 range, it does not fit the multicut 1.

Ah with you now scrimper thanks for that

I will be drilling and tapping the knurled clamp on mine in the next few days and adding a steel peg to make it easier on the fingers.

I made a copy of your QR and fitted it to my old Hegner; much easier to tighten blade now

Cheers Scrimper, that's just what I had in mind, still not done it yet as I have not had chance due to a family issue but hopefully I will find the time to do it 1 day next week.

I find the added pin makes an enormous difference in how fast you can tighten the blade and how less wearing it is on fingers when doing lot's of internal cuts. TBH I don't understand why Hegner does not do this on their official part!

I have converted my hegner clamps with this M4 wing knob. Works a treat and cost £2.61!

I've been searching for one of those for ages but did not think to call it a wing knot. I have a home made m4 bolt made drilled and tapped at 90 degrees to form a t-bar, but will order one of these.

Thanks.

 

[novocaine]

wing knob? that sounds painful.

wing nut maybe?

 

[okvalle]

Thanks for the Wing knob tip. I ordered it straight away from eBay.

A wing nut (or knob ;-) will do a job to a point

Been there got that T shirt ;-)

But a quick clamp, is far better, the main reason is the rotating part on the end of the threaded part through the clamp, so the blade can swivel while being clamped

You will get a lot more blade breakage without it (ie using a wing nut)

They may be expensive but make a heck of a difference
