Questions & Answers

Two of these are available within 2 hours of me (four hours roundtrip), and one of them is just Do you think the drive is worth it?

A road trip well worth the time and effort.

There is a hegner multicut 2s that I am looking at. Due to the fact that I live in a small apartment, can you tell me if this would work ?

When you do enough reading, you'll discover the stand is an important part of the machine because it helps to dampen vibrations. Thus, a clamp on the table would be ideal for clamping the saw. In the case of the parts along the edge, it may not be challenging, but at the back, it may prove more challenging. Due to this, it may make sense to mount it on a board, with the ability to clamp it to a It would be interesting to see what would happen if this system were mounted to 1" thick rubber horse mats.

What special tools do you need to replace the blade in this saw or is it easy enough to do it by hand?

The answer is no. This product comes with all the tools necessary for changing the blades, and it's easy to use.

The support for Advanced Machinery was very poor
3/5

It is not worth the price difference over I would not spend the $1,200 over my Delta for this saw. Phone calls to the seller Advanced Machinery go unanswered There were three attempts, none of which were successful. If you want to save a substantial amount of money, go with a Delta or a DeWalt. It is disappointing and unprofessional when a seller refuses to return calls after a $1,500 product has been purchased. During this period. Kaifetz, Jerry.

It is a good piece of equipment, despite its bad clamping system
3/5

The distribution system is a mess, but the product is very stable and well built. It seems a lot nicer on the Dewalt system (that I finally saw in a store). While the quick clamp I found on online stores looks better than the default clamp included with this saw, it does not ship with it, nor does Amazon sell it (I couldn't find any sellers in the US, and the Hegner store doesn't seem to ship to the US either). This is why I'm strongly considering returning it and returning for the Dewalt (As a beginner, I find the blade system to be extremely helpful. ) It would be easier to learn if this were the case The blade setup is a bit cumbersome, but the saw's straightness is very good.

The greatest scroll saw of all time They're very easy to look after
5/5

The greatest scroll saw of all time Taking care of it is easy, and the hair cuts well. A blade can be easily changed The Dewalt I have is much worse.

The only bad thing about the was that it was not solidly built
5/5

I was very pleased with the table, it is solidly made and works well - the only thing was the table insert wasn't flush with the surface, so I had to use brass shims under it, as well as I needed more in the back than in No longer do I have to deal with bumps and hangups when I use a blade- That's good news.

I am amazed at how good that saw is
5/5

The saw that we used was cheap and burned out. In our big box hardware store, Chip told us that they do not sell scroll saws, but if you're serious about finding a good one, check out Their saws are among the best on the market. We are so happy with the saw it is quiet and stable, different from the jackhammer we were using I'm amazed at how good it is.

This machine is a work horse, and it doesn't stop working
5/5

This model has been in my possession for at least 20 years. Over the past few years, I have used it more frequently, but this time for cutting wood for a model ship I am building. I often use it when I build model ships. You can count on this baby to do the job. Every morning, I have put a drop of oil onto the moving joints at the rockers, as directed, and I have never experienced a failure or wear out. There have been many types of wood I have cut, such as walnut, birch, pine, cherry, boxwood, and many others. I just can't give up on it. This will last you for a lifetime if you take care of it. Keep it clean, covered (I purchased a cloth cover when new), and oiled, and it will last a lifetime. It's the only brand I'd use.

Another thing, I have a rubber mat I keep it on all the time, which is attached to a plywood block, so it stays together as a There is absolutely no vibration as long as I clamp the plywood to the workbench.
