Hello Everyone Question when looking at different model scroll saws and what they have to offer 14 inch throat length vs 18 throat length how critical is this when it comes to cutting out parts that are 14 inches or greater in length flat stock - wood sheets, would you be comprised when cutting and run into the back end of the machine, when sending your material through? Was a 14 inch saw designed more for small intricate cutting projects ? Any help appreciated

Hello Scrappile Thank you for the information appreciated it is not a problem to design one to fit the rectangular hole on the older models yes ? if so what material do you use to make yours up is it some sort of plastic . Thanks

Hi Scott Thank you for the information appreciated, encouraging news board thickness that a scroll saw is designed to handle up too great ! I have one more question when looking at the older model Hegner's vs the new models, I did notes that the new models have a throat plate insert, while the older ones I have seen do not have this design option? is there a the big advantage to having the plate can the work piece get snagged when cutting on one that does not have this design feature . any help appreciated

Hello SSV Patron Thank you for the information and advice appreciated,Question as I was trying to educate myself a bit more here board thickness and cutting on a scroll saw . I have one project I was trying to do that requires a board thickness of 3/4 but I read somewhere that scroll saws are design to hand a max of 1/4 ? choose of material to work with would be Alder the softest of the hardwoods just above pine and poplar . Any additional help would be appreciated

Scale wood model building

Hello Everyone Thank you for all your input appreciated, adding a speed control box to a single speed scroll saw setup? sounds like maybe it would be best to look for one that already has it built into the machine, than to find out it does not perform properly, with the machine you just purchase- adding a speed control box The last thing I want is a saw that is too fast and aggressive, have to try to get use to the fact that it has no other speed option for cutting intricate parts out. I have never owned a good quality scroll saw for though that do once comfortable with the saw and how it is design to cut material , question how accurate can you cut parts out with a top of the line saw like a Hegner scale model building . Any additional help would be appreciated

Hi Rockytime This is one I found on Ebay all it said was Multimax 2 14" seemed to be a good price but looked like a single speed for the pic's I would like to able to cut slow more control build confidence in working with a good quality scroll saw .

Hi Rockytime Thanks for the information appreciated I was interested in a 14" Multimax but I wonder if you can use an adaptable speed control box too slow it down enough . have more control over whether it would work right? or is it not worth it better off buying one that already has it built into the equipment such as an 18" Multimax

Hello Everyone Does any one know if you can get an adaptable variable speed control box to use separately with a Multimax Hegner scroll saw. Any help appreciated
