FrankEV………I use a lot of reclaimed pallet wood for my frames. I scorch and then varnish! Cheap too!

I don’t post on here as much as I should but I am really sorry to hear this news. On the occasions that I have asked questions here Rockytime has always tried to help. Thank you and rest peacefully now.

Looks like the sort of stuff Malcom Tibet’s does

I too use a “deadman” type switch on my Hegner. Much easier than trying to fiddle about under the table to find the switch.

Absolutely fantastic. Thanks for showing.

I took the plunge today..... I measured the top clamp height 4” I removed the rubber bump stop and cut off the “boss” Tried to drill a new mounting hole and broke the first drill bit. Not messing with that! I fired up the 3D printer and printed a cylindrical piece 1/2” across and 1/4” high. Glued that to the upright about 1/2” below where the original was. I now have 6” height from table to top clamp. Will give that a try for a few days. I have tried TOP feeding but just can’t get on with it.

To all you very helpful people who have been watching this thread. My order of DeWalt thumb screws arrived this morning. Guess what ........they fit my Hegner. A VERY big thank you to all of you who have helped. Lock this information into your memory banks. DeWalt blade clamps with the swivel pin fit Hegner scrollsaws.

Octoolguy, I have no problem with you contacting Wolfgang ref. my problem. It could quite well help other people down the line to be able to contact. I will wait till the DeWalt screw arrives to see if it works before committing to any others. Thanks for your offer anyway. Interested to know what Wolfgang thinks about it. [email protected]

Octoolguy, Just replied to kmmcrafts. Ordered a DeWalt screw. Will see when it arrives if it fits. Thanks.

Thanks kmmcrafts, Just ordered one. Post is slower due to this virus but will certainly let you know if they fit when it arrives. Had never heard of these people. You are a star, as are all the people on this site. THANKS.

Hi kmmcrafts, just clicked the link to mm tool parts. Access from your country was disabled by the administrator. As for ringing people over there, the cost of the call would be prohibitive. Far more than the cost of the part.

OK. I am calling time on this one. Neither Advanced Machinery and Seyco have had the decency to reply. I don’t care much for their business acumen. Surely a sale is a sale? I am contemplating getting my mini metal lathe out and trying to make one. How difficult can it be. I have anew one for reference. Just need to find some small o rings. Wish me luck!

Octoolguy and kmmcrafts, There is nothing in my spam folder. I sent Wolfgang a message which he would have got this morning. waiting now to see if he replies. Wish I had never decided to try to get spares.

Hello Octoolguy, Yes that is the email address I used, still not had a reply. If they don’t want to talk to me, PLEASE, tell me then I will go away. Wondering if I should go through Gmail because it is obvious their contact page isn’t working. Still no response from Seyco either. What is the matter with these people?

Hi Rolf, Thread sizes don’t come into it. These are a push fit with 2 small o rings.
