It could have been bad but luckily my reflexes kicked in and I jerked my hand back. It just nicked the end of my thumb. I now have a small scar and a dead spot on my thumb.
If I'm not mistaken you can use the QuickClamp on any of the Hegner saws. But you can't use the front tension release mechanism on the 14-inch saw. They do offer a quick tension release for the rear of the saws that I think will work on all saws. As was suggested call or email Wolfgang.
As did I when I was a hot-rodding teen and loved to listen to the loud engines. I recall Art Arfons and his jet dragster. I loved how that thing would rattle my eardrums. I sold tools in noisy garages and body shops for almost 40 years too. I now wear hearing aids but so does everybody I know. Except my wife who claims to have "immaculate conception" grade hearing. Except when I speak to her. LOL.

Ok thx Ray, i will try and figure it out, Inkscape and high school didn't get along, RJ
I'm 81 and only a h.s. grad. If I can do it, so can you.
Well, first off, not my pattern. Do whatever you like. I have no idea how to do that either but with enough time, I think I could muddle through it with Inkscape.
I think many problems that we all have are caused by not having properly tuned saws. I have to check mine all the time. It's a job-site saw so it's accuracy will never be "right on".
Rather than buying another saw, ir might be just a Saturday afternoon's work to fix yours. More tha likely it is in need of a good service and with the videos available from Gwinnette Woodworkers Guild, it's not difficult. Not many tools needed. We are here to help.
I bought mine, a Dremel, about 13 years ago to install a medicine chest in one of the cherry cabinets in our bathroom. I used the 1/2 moon blade. It worked great. I use the sander part with triangle paper all the time on my small odd-shaped projects. I'd be lost without it. If you already have some Bauer battery driven tools then all you need is the basic tool. You'll love it.
