    I recently bought the Wen foot switch. It's the very low profile one that is like what can be bought from Hegner but at a fraction of the price. Anyway, I have been using the same foot switch that Kevin has but mine are the momentary type that requires you to keep your foot on them. The big thing I did to them was to re-route the wire so that both the in and out are at the front instead of having one wire come out the side. It was always in the way to me so now both wires are out the front of the switch. And it's a very easy fix.

    I want to make this but don't know where to find the pattern. Anybody?
  3. OCtoolguy
    I would guess pinned.

    If I was as close as you are, I'd be all over that. At $150, it's a steal. You could triple your money without doing anything.

    But, like all Fords, it probably runs hot! Lol.

    Who cares? We'd just be having the time of our lives.

    Sort of like Rv's. The designers have obviously never RV'd. It takes a woman to design a kitchen and bathroom. The guys should design the driver's compartment and outside storage bays.

    How could anybody not like a brand new Hegner?

    Let's start an assisted living home for scrollers. What a hoot.

    I have no idea. I never used it once.

    Well the Hawk that I bought was a 2 speed belt system and everything on it was very primitive. The blade mounting system was all allen wrenches and not fun at all. I don't really know why I bought it but it was just something that piqued my interest at the time. The Hawks have come a very long ways since I bought that one. I recently bought a very nice 226 Ultra that was like new but it had too big of a footprint for my small shop so it had to go. For the short time I had it, I was impressed with how smooth it worked and if I ever have a larger shop (LOL) I'd certainly have another one.

    I'd sure love to attend any scroll saw get together but here in So Cal, it's just not something that anybody does. I think it's because we've become too much of a melting pot here and there's just no interest in woodworking. Not sure why.

    Pictures? Ahhh! Never mind. I did as you suggested and now see what you are talking about. For any kind of wood project outdoors, I'd say varnish is the best way to go. I built a redwood gate and did about 4 coats of marine spar varnish on it and it held up very well.

    Yes, pictures truly are worth a thousand words. And with a phone, it's so easy.

    That's the one that the demo guy used to take to all the woodworking shows. It's the first one that I ever saw demo'd. I fell in love with it even then. But, the next show I went to in Colorado Springs, the Hawk was being demo'd there with it's 20 inch capacity so I bought one. Sadly, it never got used and I sold it to my neighbor.

    OMG! I hope not. He answered my email a month or so ago. From the box?

    Yes, the Dust Deputy is usually mounted on a 5 gallon pail. In fact it comes with 2 of them and can be doubled if your vac is too powerful. Anyway, to answer your question, the little mini cyclones work great. Les has his mounted to a larger canister that I do but I'm going to use a 3 lb. coffee can on the one for my Ex21. On my Hegner I might try something larger as I'll be using a more powerful vac.

    I was really taken with the 2 tone color scheme of the Pegas so something in that order might work. Color is really not important to me as long as it's not something that ends up looking like a Tijuana taxi.

    Are they actively looking for a buyer? I'm curious as to what would make you want to buy them out. Not being nosy but with my business mind, I'm just wondering.
  20. OCtoolguy
    Wow! That looks like a pretty nice saw. Let us know how it works out after some time. What is the maximum height of material that you can put through it.?
  21. OCtoolguy
    Why? He should be happy about being asked.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Well, if push came to shove, I'd opt for the road trip. Nice scenery out your way.
  23. OCtoolguy
    Shoot a pic of Wolfgang. He's been a big help to me and I'd like to see what he looks like. Thanks.

    I was thinking the same Paul. Nobody gives their drill presses a thought and they are a lot harder to change speeds. I pretty much stay at the same speed on my saws. I never run them wide open.
  25. OCtoolguy
    It even matches your shirt Les.
