But, also include the foot print.... Hegner has a smaller footprint than the Pegas and other like saws... Now I say no more... I am a little biased... You won't be sorry with either..
Chris,,, keep in mind a hegner is bottom feed only.... not a problem for me,, fact a +. but you should know.. not a top feeder if that is your style...
I haven't completely figured it out, but I do tend to break more spiral blades on my Hegner than my other saw. Not enough that I worry about it.
I also had a gross of #3/0 FD-NS blades that I fought and fought on both my saws because no matter what I did, I would get the "hockey puck" bend on one or both ends, when mounting the blades. I started straightening the ends before mounting them, but I had never had to do that before. I finally decided there was something wrong with the blades, and ordered a new bunch... I was right.. laying the new and old blades side by side, I could see a difference. The old ones had more twists in the ends than the new ones.. The new one work like they should... So the point is, some time you can get a bad batch of blades..
@FrankEV I am working on a pattern that has some long straight lines and I decided to try scoring them first using a ruler and a Xacto knife before cutting. It seemed to really help maintain a straight cut. You might give it a try, if you haven't already.
Well, it is just as far from you too here, as from here to you, and from there to here (my home), it is lunch and I will try my best to get you drunk,,, ask @heppnerguy,, I get him roaring drunk every time he visits!! right Dick//
I'll give you $60. for it... you pay shipping.... !! Just kidding.. I would/could find room... You got a hell of a deal... I am jealous!! Anything I scroll on that size machine, one speed would work fine...
Ha, there is a third "light box" that I would not have thought of... Guess we need more info on what @Uncle Ricky needs... Guess a fourth could be a lighted box with a scene in it that you set in a table or something... 3' x 4' would be a big one for that...
I picture a light box is a box with lights inside that you can put negatives, picture slides, drawing on to look at and do something to the... 4" deep seem pretty narrow for a lightbox to take pictures of something in... Guess we need more detail.
