I too purchased his pattern disk last year. I forgot all about it. I'll have to dig through and see if I can find it. Thanks.
-
Kevin, for those of us who couldn't find it in Steve's catalog, how about sharing it so we can have it too? I'd like to cut that one for my own use.

My problem is, I'm new enough to all this that I don't know why a blade breaks if one does. So far, I've had no problem with blade breakage of any brand. I just started using my latest batch of Pegas MGT #5 and so far nothing negative to report. I had only bought a couple dozen of them to try and just finally ran through them and opened the gross that I had just bought from DnD. That's when I noticed the end of the bottom of them had the "clipped" corner on them. No notches at all anywhere on the blades.

There is one just like yours for sale on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/79240619/no-coffee-no-workee?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_e-home_and_living-home_decor-other&utm_custom1=1c37c324-63c5-414e-ba41-a39630c83472&utm_content=go_270949475_21143544035_69017195435_pla-106551393635_c__79240619&gclid=Cj0KCQiA3b3gBRDAARIsAL6D-N8xwArE6_KPxHV5orwN9UCK8_x_i3Y5tR9WZV2_OBBfkAhjGnSmi_0aAuiTEALw_wcB

I keep thinking I should sell my guns but then I change my mind. Ya never know........

Fantastic. You'll love your new saw and never miss the trumpet.

Looks like a pretty good unit. Coupled with a dust deputy and it might be just the ticket. I see that in order to get the real quiet operation, it has to be started first and then the quiet is activated. It doesn't start in quiet mode. Might be just the solution for dust collection.
-
Kevin, check your email. I just sent them to you.
-
I just looked at my installed fonts and found them Kevin. I looked at the properties and they say that they are Steve Good copywrited. They are stored in my Irfanview TTF fonts file. I don't know how to transfer them to you. Check out Steve's online pattern catalog or his blog. They are called Scrollsaw regular, Scrollsaw02 regular, and Scrollsaw03 regular. Here is the zip file from his blog. I think this might be what you are looking for. FontV.zip

Take the drive out of your old computer and hook it up to your new one. Then you can access anything that was on the drive. Quick and easy.

Here ya go Dave. It's a bit of a commute but SUCH a deal! https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/tls/d/hegner-multimax-scroll/6734332997.html

I'm curious. Is he going to meet you half way again or do you have to go all the way to Waco?

A very good reminder to everybody. I got tired of my lens cover falling forward so I put a mini bungy cord on it to keep it up. That was on my Dewalt which sits next to a south facing window. I did notice one day that the sun was being magnified a bit on the hard board cover that I put on my table top to keep it from rusting. I took the bungy cord off and let the lens cover do it' s job.

Great advice Brad. I had no idea you taught. You never cease to amaze me.

Hey Toothpick, where's your dust mask?
-
After reading a lot on the subject, I went ahead and ordered a gross of those FD Polar blades yesterday in 3 sizes. I hope they are and do what everybody says they will. It makes sense to have a blade with the capability to clear the dust out of the kerf as fast as possible. I have been using a reverse tooth blade with pretty good success but now that I think back, it was a problem. I hope there are a lot of answers to your post.
-
It takes practice to do those tight turns. It doesn't come at once. I am still fighting with it. The whole secret for me so far is to stop where I want to make the turn and apply pressure to the back side of the blade, spin or turn in place and then proceed. There are many videos on youtube regarding this. If you haven't watched them, I recommend that you do so. I think it's probably the toughest thing to learn. It is a "muscle memory" thing I think. You have to become one with your saw.
-
I printed it out and never looked at it again. Experience is what will do more than anything else. First, decide what type of projects you want to cut. What material. Then, buy a gross of whatever blade you need to do your project.. More than likely, you'll end up with some kind of reverse tooth blade. I have homed in on the Pegas #5 MGT for what I like to do. I haven't done much of anything in BB so far. Mostly doing hardwoods. I like projects that fill a need of some kind. I don't do many wall hangers.

Hey, I feel your pain. I guess I'm different. I would feel cheated if there wasn't something for me to fix. I like doing that. It also helps me to understand just how the saw works. What makes it tick so to speak.. I hope this all works out for you Dave. I know you are frustrated at the moment but you'll be happy in time. Take a breath. Or a shot of tequila. Whatever.
-
Come on now Dave. You bought a "used car" and there are little things that might not be like a new one. Take your time and once it's all ironed out, you will be very happy. Sort of like kids. You gotta work with them to make them what you want. Sorta.
-
They just had a bad run of blades and I'm sure it will all work out fine.
-
Yes. I found out that without one, the next couple of days, my nose was semi clogged up. After blowing my nose and finding sanding dust in it, well, I decided to give my lungs a break.

New Hegner Multi-Max 22v on its way!
OCtoolguy replied to fisch2481's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Thanks Fisch, I think all things happen for a reason so there may have been something wrong with that saw. The thing that I was most concerned about is/was there are 6 or 7 other Hegners for sale right now on C/L from a low of $150 (my saw) all the way up to $1800. He's dreaming. Anyway, why was this one so cheap as to compared to all the others. I'd have priced it in the $3-400 range. It had the upgraded quick release arm, the quick clamp and was a variable speed. It did need a bellows but that's only $42 plus shipping. Anyway, like you said, another one will come along. Not the $1800 one though. I can't believe he thinks he will get more than a brand new one. Geesh! -
No sweat then. I'll wait.

Makes sense to me. Thanks.
