    I could add a third as well, put a name on the bottom. It can work as a modular system and be very flexible.

    This was cut from two lengths of Blue pine tongue and groove pine 3/4". The welcome pattern is from the files here, the horses are a Steve Good design. 18 1/4" X 5" finished 21"long before I cut the ends. FD Polar #1 throughout. One coat BLO ,so far.

    I started with a coping saw and quickly gave that up. Moved on to a Craftsman motor "hobby" saw 3" pin end blades and a 13" throat. I couldn't afford anything better at the time, '85. A few years later I moved up to a Sears "industrial" SS, but the blade clamps kept breaking, at a six week turn around for repairs I gave up on it at about the third break down, to their credit, Sears took back the saw and refunded all my money. I found a Delta two speed with the quick clamp II, still have the saw but upgraded after retirement to a 22"vs Hefner. The Hefner is an awesome saw, but I miss the quick clamp of the Delta. If I could I'd modify the Hefner with the quick clamp II.

    Google z003 (zeros not ohs). I'm limited in what I can cut and paste right now .

    When I've had issues with this (basswood) it was static electricity. You can check by wiping the pattern with a damp, not wet cloth.

    Here's one hot off the saw. 3/4 Poplar 5 1/2 x 17 1/2" (had to print diagonally on 11 x 17 paper) , #1 FD Polar blades throughout, Red food coloring for the poppies. Poppies from a Jim Blume pattern, eagle emblems from a Steve Good pattern, text is Z003 font.

    A view of the top of the rack. Latches installed and a fishing rod being held in place. A little more detail work and she's done .

    I just have to ask; was the 1/4" on top, and what blades were you using?
  11. Wichman
    So, on a whim I bought a HF SS ( $22.00 from the returned shelf ). The saw itself isn't bad, the the pin end blades however . . . what junk. The HF blades were the best of a bad lot, Bosch, Ryobi, Olsen; all junk, can't turn well, choppy action ( I did try the Ryobi blades on my Hegner, still choppy, even at max speed, 2000 spm ) Here's the first, possible the last piece off the saw. 5" X 15" X 3/4" blue pine, Steve Good pattern "running horses" The saw will probably be used to break down larger boards or cut outlines of plaques

    In addition to Ray's advise, you may try rebooting your computer and then restarting Inkscape. This may cause Inkscape to try to recover a file that was shut down improperly.

    Here is a picture of the quick clamp on my 2021 Hegner, you can see the part that holds the top clamp in place, if you saw has that, then you should be good to go. The quick clamps "body" is a standard sized blade clamp with a special screw and knurled knob. When installed the quick clamp is held snugly in place by that screw on the top.

    Gene, If you are cutting multiple patterns on a single sheet and need to keep the ones - not yet cut - in alignment, then, drill a pilot hole on the outside of the pattern and cut the outside of the pattern without cutting to the outside of the sheet. In the following picture is a project where I cut out tea light holders first, while the rest of the patterns are still locked in place ready to be cut:

    I'd have gone with the BIG BLADE, but I don't think it would work. ( I cut a pruning blade down to 5" as a Joke, I can't imagine actually trying to cut with it )

    I cut 1 1/2 pine all the time with a Polar #1, I've even cut purple heart with that blade, but this Elm was a PIA. I have a couple of pieces of hickory, and yes it's pretty tough to cut. Elm is listed as tough, wear resistant, Janka 830, and tight interlocked grain. At 5/8" it is cuttable with the Polar #1, at 12/8 (1 1/2" eighths shown for scale). I didn't want to struggle with such a small blade, so I went with the GT.

    I finished cutting the base for the fishing rod rack. 12" diameter x 1 1/2" thick Solid chunk of Elm. I have other methods to cut this, but I wanted to see how the Hegner handled it. It was a bear to cut. I used the largest blade I have (came in the blade assortment with the saw) , a "GT 2.0" that Advanced doesn't carry anymore, but it's a big thick blade, and I wore out two of them to cut the circle. Had to crank the speed up to max as well, 2000, normally it stays at 1400. The first picture is of two blades, the top is the GT 2.0 and the bottom is my go to Polar #1. Second picture is the round, before any sanding or truing.

    Hot off the saw Original pattern by Chachi111769; 1/8" basswood, #3 FD Polar blade for the outside, #1 FD blades for the frog and larger letter, #2/0 FD Polar for the small letters.

    Understand completely, I don't know of anywhere to mix and match for discounts on Olson blades. I would call the Olson customer service and if they can't help then call Advanced Machinery ( Hegner dealer, but they sell Olson blades.

    I have two 10" steel sanding disks ( for the table saw ) and I can put different grits on each side, so up to 4 different grits. I removed the platen for a 6 inch disk sander and have several different grits of PSA disks, I have drilled a hole in my workbench ( next to the scroll saw ) that the platen will fit in so that the workbench supports the platen.
