kmmcrafts Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 Just seen this on Craigslist.. Might be a decent deal for someone.. I don't know much about the Hegner saws.. but I think the Polymax is the top dog of their line of saws.. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/wsh/bfs/d/forest-lake-hegner-scroll-saw/6912964664.html Quote
GrampaJim Posted June 20, 2019 Report Posted June 20, 2019 Looks like a 3 speed belt drive. I would say its only an OK deal. I personally would pass because I need variable speed. It does not have the Quick clamp on the top either. kmmcrafts 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted June 21, 2019 Author Report Posted June 21, 2019 Variable speed is a nice feature.. I personally rarely change a speed on a saw once I set up the saw at my comfort level of running it.. I think a 2-3 speed saw would be fine for me provided the saw has a speed doable for me LOL Quote
Rockytime Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 Three speed would work for me too. Price sounds good if saw is in good shape. I don't think they wear out easily. kmmcrafts 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted June 21, 2019 Report Posted June 21, 2019 The speed is not what would bother me. The older Hegers like this one, did not have a tension release lever at the front of the upper arm. That means you have to reach to the back of the arm to unscrew a knob to release and tighten tension... I can not imagine having to do that. Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that is how they worked.
