Sorry I have no answer really to your question.. as I'm not familiar with that saw.. I truly have no idea, although I have read on the internet ''have you looked at the Axminster AWFS18 which seems to be a clone Hegner copy '' whilst I have been 'surfing'. That's what made me ask here. Although it would appear to be a saw known only here in the UK. OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loftyhermes Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes it's worth looking at. It's a Hegner clone and has very good reviews. At that price it's half of a new one. You could always try for a lower price or ask for extras. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted August 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Ooooh Ecky Thump, I've bought it.. I got it for £200. A bit of wheeling and dealing perhaps, but us oldies have to 'bargain' LOL. I do hope I like it otherwise my other half may not be so happy. loftyhermes, wombatie, RabidAlien and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 I think you did right Brenda, it looks a good one and you did well Haggling the price! Bob OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 If it is a Hegner clone, cuts like a Hegner and is trouble free as a Hegner,,, you will be happy. Hegners take some getting use to, but very much worth the effort. Maybe the past owner will explain the tension to you. It took some experimenting and patience on my part to figure out mine. Now I love my Hegner, would not part with it. Hope yours is a good. Congratulations on the new to you saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Congratulations on the new (used) saw. A good saw makes scrolling so much more pleasant. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodduck Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 That looks like my first saw only over here in Australia it is known as a Carbatec. & they sell for $800 Australian dollars.The saw served me well for quite a few years until I upgraded to a EX21.
