    That's a great looking system! I've been fighting with my saw "walking" around my workbench. That might be a solution. Thanks for sharing the pics!

    Yes - I gave it away for free this afternoon as a "project" to the new owner.

    So far, so good! Still getting used to it but it seems to work great! Gonna try set up the pin-less blades this weekend - wish me luck!

    It was a typo - I meant to type 571-5! Thanks!

    I've been looking for schematics and parts for the 751-5 - can't find any on the internet. Will have to breakdown and try to call them on Monday. Thanks for all the suggestions. BTW - I found a new, unused WEN 3921 for $70 - going to pick it up tomorrow.

    I sent the seller a note but have not heard anything yet. In the meanwhile my Dremel MotoShop died this morning! Going to have to get serious about finding a new saw.

    After becoming a new member here this week and posting about possibly getting a new saw, my 1970s Dremel Moto-Shop 571-5 gave up the ghost this morning! I was working on a project and all of a sudden it started making weird noises and then it stopped. There was a hum coming from the motor. I banged a little on the side and the blade worked a second or so and stopped again while still humming. Doesn't appear to have a reset button anywhere. Guess I'll get a little more serious this weekend about looking for a new saw.

    Thanks for the really interesting video! I was curious how easy a laser would be to actually use - seems pretty straight forward!

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

    Great job! It amazes me what type of projects can be done on a scroll saw!

    Thanks for the welcome and the suggestions. I've just picked up some Olsen blades for the Dremel - only 3" blades that I could find locally. The guy with the Hegner is over by Lansing. I haven't spoken with him yet - was just waiting to hear any feedback from the Forum on my choices. I've attached the picture of the guy's CL listing. It appears to be a little dirty but from the picture it looks like it is all there. I would plan on checking it out to see how it works - he states it is in excellent running condition. He's second owner - he got it in an estate sale from the original owner. I'm ready for winter - got two cords of wood on Monday and had our first fire tonight!

    Thanks for sharing the video - as a newbie just starting out it gives me a lot of ideas!

    Thanks for the welcome and the response. I think maybe i'll go kick the tires on the Hegner.

    Hello everyone - Mike here. I'm a new forum member here from S.E. Michigan. New to scroll sawing as well. I've got an old Dremel Moto-shop 571-5 that I have been playing with the last couple of weeks. Not the best results - not sure if it's me or the machine. Even with a new blade it basically makes a lot of noise and is slow (I'm cutting about 1/2" plywood). I'm thinking about getting a different machine. I've been looking at an introductory machine like the Wen (about $130). I saw an older Hegner Multimax 18 on Craigslist for $275 (with a ton of new blades included!) Any recommendation or comments would really be appreciated!!
