  4. Just a word to the wise.... If you do this mod,,,, remember not to put you magnifying light quite as close to your work as you use to...... if the blade brakes, the arm will pop up it will be popping higher than it did before and BAM.....! Almost sent the light right into my nose!!! Cracked the protective piece over the light bulb....! be right back,,, got to take a shower and change my pants...
  5. I had to save the file to my desk top and then open it.
  6. really a nice piece.

  14. Would have to see it..
  15. Very nice.... chocolates, are good!!
  16. Sorry, David,,, I can't answer your question I have never been around an older Hegner.... Maybe @octoolguy answered it... I have an "auxiliary" table top on mine,,, just to make the table a little bigger.. You can see my top is getting somewhat worn.... will have to make a new one one of these days.My table top is Masonite... Work great.. I salvaged the Masonite from an old baby crib.... I have enough left for one more top...
  17. @NC Scroller The later models of Hegners have a round hole in the table where the blade goes through as opposed to the rectangular holes in the early models. It comes with a metal insert that reduces the size of the hole and you can buy plastic replacement inserts that you drill the size hole you want for the blade to actually go through... Give you options for zero clearance inserts for less tear out.. I make my own inserts for my saw.
  18. Well done Frank... I really like the Santa...
  19. My Jet came with a laser. I never use it, never could get it adjusted properly so it is not accurate. More important to me is having a chuck that closes all the way. Mine does. My last drill press did not and I had to use a small chuck within the press chuck... Tried several and they all wobbled... The second thing for me is the crank up/down table,,,, I agree it is a must. What I do not like about my current press is the depth stop... It is the one with two sloppy bolts that you have to screw up or down to set the stop..... Just a pain to deal with, but I live with it... I use the table as my depth of stop more then the bolt one.
  20. Awesome Job..... I love it
  21. Beautiful job, Frank. Love the way you colored it also...
  22. I've been using the Klingspor Mac Mop 2" x 7" mounted on my lathe for years.... Works great and I have not had a piece break off using them...
  23. Nope, I think nature does it all... I have seen a lot of blue pine...
  24. Much older one.... No tension release up front,,, old key for the blade clamps (still works) no inserts in table top where the blade goes through... But if it still worked good...
