Continued prayers and thanks for the update.

Now that takes some dedication to your hobby. It came out very well and I am sure people love it when seeing in person. I am sure there are stories to tell when people see it. Congrads.

Prayers go out to him and his family. Thanks for posting.

No matter what I ever do I will never sell off my large tools like the tablesaw, planer, bandsaw, lathe and others. When I am gone that is others problem. Too many home projects that pop up. I am right now fixing the rot on my outdoor shed. This requires new trim moldings and reworking the doors so tools are in need. I am fortunate to have a portable tablesw that I keep in the shed. An old Craftsman that I bought cheap when those satelite Sears tool stores went out of business. I sold Hegner and Dewalt scrollsaws. but will never sell the RBI saws. My hobbies span a wide range of woodworking adventures so never know when tools are needed. Now that things are basically squared away ( do have some little things to clear away yet but that is this fall). I will be able to use my workbench for what it is intended for. Should be fun. Will be making a bunch of boxes this winter hopefully. I bought a lot of fresh exotic woods last winter and I look forward to using these. Here are a few photos of my shop when I first built it. It looks nothing like that now but hey we all grow into this hobby stuff. made all cabinets myself back then. Lots have changed since I first built this shop. Much more has been added and things have been sold off. I really should take some new photos of the present day shop. Photos are too small. Maybe I have larger ones. I will check.

Well here is my story. I always like to take my winters and do some work in my shop. Weather it is pen making, scrolling, or other woodworking hobbies. This is the time I dedicate for these things as with spring through fall I have either indoor projects or outdoor projects for the house to work on. This past winter I was in the shop around the end of Nov. and started working on some new projects that I wanted to try. (hopefully this year I can get some done and share them here) But everytime I wanted a tool or wanted an area to work something was in the way and I finally said to myself, self this has to get cleaned up and better organized. I have a large work table that basically became a catch-all for you name it and it was there. I was not able to even work on the table and always used the top of my tablesaw as my work table after I put a sheet of plywood on it. It got to be too much. So I went on a cleaning spree and bought a bunch of hooks to hang things and made shelves and lets say every inch of wall space has now been taken up. I also spent a bunch of money on new tools that will help in some of my new projects. Clear the bench, added a router lift to my router table and a whole bunch of other things. Now I work in a small basement shop so everything needs to be on wheels and easily moved. I bought a wheel base for my 14" bandsaw to replace the small wheels that came with that saw many years ago. Those wheels gave out so I could not move it any more. I bought some small cheap wooden cabinets that I had to put together and really are just storage things. Bought a larger metal better quality cabinet for my casting stuff which I cast acrylic resins for pens and things. I also bought one of those flip top tables because I save room for 2 tools. This is the one I bought. I bought it off Amazon which I believe you are looking at the one you shown. I went back to see what I paid for mine. It was $227. I see it is not available any more. Not sure why but a couple things to note. I also bought these wheels (it did not come with wheels) Now I have used these wheels before on my router table and love them. They roll so easily and swivel 360 degrees which is a plus for me. Now I had to add a 3/4" block of wood under each leg because of the width of them do not fit on the narrow legs of either table. No big deal. As you can see you can lock all of them if you need to. I did this because that 3 wheel system that is on the table you show to me sucks. I had that on my router table and hated it. You have no spin ability with fron wheels so it is always forward and back to get in place. These wheels with the block of wood do raise the stand but you can adjust to heights you want. Very easly. My Dewalt planer stand still has that 3 legged wheel system on it but I will leave that alone. Now on the flip table I put my benchtop disck/belt sander which I like to use alot even though I have a 12" one also. On the other side I put my Tormek T8 sharpening system https://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/collections/tormek/products/tormek-t8?msclkid=9dc2a6cc3dee161e0976cc4e5b580c84&utm_campaign=Sharpening+-+Tormek+-+New1&utm_content=Tormek+T8&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=bing&utm_term=tormek+t-8. I added a shelf across the cross braces to hold various jigs for the sharpening system as well as sandpaper for sander. I also added a shelf like that under my router table. While I was at it I added shelves across the RBI scrollsaw stands too. No space left open. Believe me I still wish I had more room. But under the scrollsaws I keep a bunch of woodworking jigs I use in various projects. Now I will warn you that with those flip tables, yes you can bolt right through the top to support the tools, making sure your bolts do not interfere with each tool on each side. What I did was attach a piece of plywood on one side to make it easier to attach the sander and the Tormek being the heavier tool I bolted right through. You I am sure can figure this all out. To sum this up. I like the concept and like the table. They are heavy duty, just look at weight loads. They work real well and I am glad I bought it. Good luck. That is my story.

Yes Dewalt has a liscensing thing with Lowes and have several tools only available with them. I did not know they had this sander either. https://toolguyd.com/dewalt-benchtop-sander-dxbd4801/ Just for info out there, Lowes carrys a stand that looks like the one for the 788 and is $52. It is made to fit their saws.

I noticesd that also. Maybe it can be reveresed. Some saws are that way.

I had no idea they made this either. Here is a link. https://toolguyd.com/dewalt-scroll-saw-lowes-dxvs4502-launch/ Also https://www.lowes.com/pd/DEWALT-18-in-1-6-Amp-Variable-Speed-Corded-Scroll-Saw/5015869287 Interesting. $300 too.

That Bauer saw just came out in Aug of 2024 and is too new to know exactly it will stand up to hard use. If occassional work load then should be fine. Good luck and have un.

To me what is strange is it is such a common part that just about any hardware store or big box store carries them. Maybe an odd size but I doubt it. Today there are so many ways to look things up too. Hope they find what they are looking for.

Ken Home Depot or lowes have nuts such as those. Maybe you can find the right one there. Or go to a hardware store. If all else fails Google is your friend.

I will throw one other option out there for you. being the motor is locked in to full open speed. It may be of value for you to purchase an inexpensive speed controller to match the amps and voltage of the saw. It can not hurt. I always preach you never want to use an external speed controller such as a sewing machine pedal on a tool that has speed control capabilities that work well. In this case they are not working at all. That is an option to explore. I am sure you already know this because like I said you talk the talk and seem to be adapt to this stuff, you would need a VFD controller because that is an AC motor. This is not a DC motor(brushes).

It certainly looks like a clone. never heard of that company. They are selling on Amazon so must be reachable. price is higher than a Dewalt even with that cutter head. It does not say anything about a chips blower. It does come with dust bag so I assume it does eject chips. Dewalts is powerful. They only deal through Amazon. No direct store contact. I see they sell a bench top drill press, belt/ disc sander, and a scrollsaw that looks like the old dremel saws. I would stay far away from this company. better options out there. You wonder how these companys can clone tools like this. I am sure there are little differences that allow it. Those rollers instead of tables is not something I would want. Anyway another option on the market.

Hello Chris. I am sorry but I will be of no help to you. I had a hegner years ago but never dove into the workings of the motor and or controller because I never had a problem. i do not know how the speed is regulated with that saw. What I suggest you do is contact Advance Machiery and talk to their tech. They will be able to answer your question and possible sell you the part if that be the case that it is bad. Being you can obviously speak the lingo it should be easy for you to hold that conversation. I will tell you this with all certainty that motor is indistructable and you do not need to buy a new motor. That is an industrial motor. Maybe at some time the capacitor may go but again I doubt it. I believe this is a coil but does it collect data or does it produce data. That I do not know. I do know this is tied into that circuit board and you may have a different problem on the circuit board. replacing that coil may not be the answer. The speed is magnetically controlled. As I said the techs at Hegner are really good and very helpful. Great customer service. They can help. https://www.advmachinery.com/collections/hegner-scroll-saw-parts

It has been awhile since you checked in. This site has become very quiet. Not many people coming here and doing projects any more. Good to see you are still at it and the new projects look good. Good luck in your sales.
