    I joined the SAW about 8 or 9 yrs. ago for 1 year, that was to long!! Never had any thing worth reading, I always thought it was a complete flop

    Kevin is correct about the bushing being referred to as bearings, that's what Hegner uses there pressed into the arms with shoulder bolt, Hans from Advanced Machinery once told me a couple drops of light weight oil 3n1 or sewing machine oil works great.The oil will find it's way between the bolt and bushing when you run your saw.

    I meant scroll saw not escrow!!!

    JT, you mentioned the use of Bostik bearing lubricant, how does that work as an oil lubracant on escrow saw bearings. I bought a can today at the Woodcraft store !! Is it better than using light weight oil, I have never seen any thing like it so thought I would ask . It's not cheap, 18.00 for a 5.5 oz can. Would be interested in knowing how much better than oil it might be. thanks Roger

    Ray, what I have been doing lately I use the pre stain on my projects, let set for about 20 minutes give it a chan e to soak in good. Then wipe it down a little and then go with the Watco cover it good I use small brush or sponge brush let set for about 20 mins. or so then hit it again let that set for 15 mins then wipe off any excess.Let set and dry good for a couple days then spray with satin poly, let it dry good take piece of paper bag and wipe it down like you were sanding it very easy then give it a second coat of poly. That's how I do my projects. rdv

    There are two things you can do, (1) use a backer on the bottom, (2) put painter's tape on the back of the bottom piece!! rdv

    Frisch2481, First of all congratulations on the new saw , it will be a big learning curve if you have never used a Hegner before, The first thing I will say to you is read the manual study it and practice with it , a fellow that I took carving blessing from his famous words were PRACTIC,PRACTICE,PRACTICE. I still set down and practice to the day, I'll take a square make straight lines, cut circles practice, PRACTICE. I have owned 2 hegner, 2 RBI HAWK ULTRAS, they are both great machines, I LEARNED on the RBI And I just feel more at ease on it.The Hegner is a great machines also and it will take work to learn how to use it effectively just like the RBI. DO not bye any means get upset or disgusted with your work, if first you fail try again. There is very little maintenance on the Hegner or the RBI Oil your arm bearing every so often just don't get carried away with the oil. Start on something easy, keep your table waxed. Enjoy!!

    Here is some more info on the Pegas scroll saw, this is from a flyer that GrobetUSA was handing out at the wood show. Head tilts left and right 45/35, upper arm can be raised. Speed 400 to 1500 rpm, blower and dust collector, uses the new chuck heads, off on switch up front with speed control. Developed in Switzerland and made in Taiwan. What really got my attention was the pricing, saw only 649.00 saw with stand 719.00 saw + stand + foot peddle 739.00 And if I were to take a wild guess I'd bet Woodcraft will be a retailer here in the states, that's just a guess only because their a Pegas blade distributor. That's about all I know about it. rdv

    Just got a look at the 21" Pegas scroll saw that is to be available here in the states after the first of the year. Grobet USA had a display at the "Artistry in Wood" show here in Wilmington, Oh.this weekend. I hope that some of you that live fairly close were able to attend, this is a class show with some of the finest woodworking projects you'll ever see!! Back to the saw, the saw was just super quiet, 0 vibration and just a great looking machine. rdv

    Best use a roll pin punch, you can remove it fairly easy but make sure you back up the arm good. Any thing other than pin punch and your taking a chance on burring the end or getting something wedged in the pin itself!! rdv

    I would find out first if it has the the old a.c. type motor that can't be repaired!! I would about guess it is because the motor hangs below the frame of the saw.

    Better than 15 yrs. cutting and have never posted anything! but I cut this for my son and I kinda like it!!!

    I would agree with Dan, looks like poplar!!

    Dave, If you'll send Advanced Machinery an e-mail Mr.Wolfgang Derk will explain the blade being forward slightly in the complete up stroke. I had the same question on mine and it's 18+ yrs old, I've miss placed the e-mail he sent me I would have forwarded it to you. I don't think there is any thing wrong with your saw, mine is cuts just fine, it is not over aggressive. Hope this helps some!!!! rdv

    Randy is correct they are the main pivot springs, talked to Advanced Machinery about slight side play and they told me that over time the springs will become weak. New springs solved problem, rdv
