The forum was correct re Hegner

[M P Hales]

Pre Christmas I spent hours searching for reviews and advice about the best option for a scrollsaw.

As numerous people have said,buy cheap buy twice.

Bought a Scheppach decoflex as a first machine-it's ok but a pain to change the blades,shakes about a little bit all of which have been pointed out in various posts.

Have just recieved my nice new Hegner multi 2sv today with foot switch - what a difference

The action is smooth,doesn't shake the allen key off the workbench (makes changing blade on decoflex a pain when haveing to search the floor to find)

To all the forum members who recommended Hegner I apologise for not heeding your valuable advice in the first place and would accept any comments or digs with good grace.

I would also like to say that any comments made will not be anything compared to whats already been said by 'er indoors!

Anybody looking for a scrollsaw--Dont do what I did it just isn't worth the pain in the ears!!!!!


Thanks

M

I could say, I told you so, but I won't. Most of us have gone down the same path. Its like driving a lads for a few years and then driving a BMW. I have the same saw as you but with the cast iron table and its a joy to work with, no hassle with blade changing, no vibration and deadly accurate, as you say, you get what you pay for.

I bought the cheaper one the Multicut 1 single speed,but I am very happy,same as Geoff says you only get what you pay for.Better later than never.

I suppose if everyone did the right thing first the Far Eastern countries would not be as well off as they are now.

Best of luck with your new saw ,piety about the wife but she'll get over it eventually You hope . :lol: :twisted:

And the worst thing is the Hegner doesn't make enough noise to drown her out . :mrgreen:
