Auction Purchase - Hegner Scrollsaw

[Chuck N]

I've been in Colorado and New Mexico the last two months so I've been away from the shop. Today, my first day back, I attended an auction in the neighborhood and picked up a Hegner Multimax variable speed 18" scroll saw for $80. It should be up and running once I purchase blade clamps and blade screws which are missing.

Congrats Chuck. Nice deal. :eusa_danc

WOW, I have that same saw. You are going to like it. Congrats

 

[Mike Davis]

Looks like new! You got a great deal there.

 

[ScottM]

[TracyP]

A sweet deal for sure.......

Wow, Chuck! You didn't buy it, you stole it! Great saw (I have one I bought from a fellow member here) for scrolling work and very reliable. You should be able to get parts from Advanced Machinery and good quality blades from Flying Dutchmen Scroll Saw Blades (Leslie's Patterns). Hope this helps.

I've already placed my parts order from Advanced Machinery and I've been using Flying Dutchman blades with my Dewalt Scroll Saw. My daughter enjoys scrolling and spends much more time on the DeWalt than I do. With this Hegner purchase we won't be competing for the equipment!

so did the parts cost more then the purchase of the saw ? ? I had a hegner for my first saw and sold it and got the dewalt. I hope you enjoy yours mine was older and not in as good shape mine was older without varriable speed if it had the varriable speed I am sure I would have liked mine alot more

The Hegner I purchased has variable speed. It needed about $50 worth of parts to get it working. Total investment about $130. If I don't like it hopefully I can sell it for what I've got in it (or maybe a little more!).

my guess you will have no trouble flipping it but hopefully it will work out and work well for you....

+1 for Mike. Cal in the AM our time and he typically ships USPS the same day. I have my blades normally 2-3 days.
