    I didn't have my Hegner very long. That was one of the reasons was having to load the bottom clamp first. I did have several extra bottom clamps so I could pre-load the blades to make it a little faster. I might be wrong but I think it would be hard to top feed with that setup. Nice saws though. I will have to ask Srappile  how he does his. He loves his Hegner. I do a lot of fretwork and the Hegner was to slow for me.  Actually I only bought it to cut apart my pieces for stack cutting to save a little wear and tear on my EX. Still to slow for me. I sold the Hegner and bought a Seyco and kept the EX for my second saw. The Hegner is a very nice dependable saw. I always have to try something new. Make lots of sawdust Les.

      Thanks for the reply. I'm a bottom feeder so the clamps work for me OK. I also have a 220VS Hawk that works out the same way. Tomorrow evening I 'm looking at a 18" Hegner for very cheap. If it's in good condition I will get it, I have no room for three saws so I think the 14V will have to go. Also at my age speed is not too much of a factor. :>)

      I am a bottom feeder also 99% of the time. I am working on a fretwork picture right now just for fun and I am top feeding for the first time in years as there are so many interior cuts and the piece is larger than I normally do. I keep undoing the top clamp as a matter of habit. I had the 18" Hegner, nice saw.  I hope you get the one you are looking at. I have room for three saws but don't know what I would do with the third one. I do like to try new tools though. I would someday like to try the Hawk. No one that I know of lives close enough to let me look at one. Maybe in the future. :)
