    Hegner owners, help please.

    Purchased my Hegner saw long before (Technology Supplies) were the UK distributor. But I have to say that I have now had many purchases from them, blades, parts etc and found their service to be first class. =D> I purchase all of my blades from this supplier, as their price is very...

    Hegner Niqua blades.

    I have never used any blades other than the ones from (Hegner) main reason their price is very competitive if purchased at the gross (144) rate. That is approximately twenty plus years of scroll sawing, which represents many hundreds of blades and I have only had one batch of a dozen blades...

    Car boot purchase - not safe

    You have hit the nail on the head. Very little domestic electrical equipment gets safety tested from new out of the box, through its working life, to the scrap bin. Unlike, what can be the same equipment, but used in the commercial environment, which will have regular safety tests throughout...

    Car boot purchase - not safe

    Yes it would, but I would not recommend doing this. The safe way would be using a (PAT) rig. But I realise that very few people would have access to such a tester, and going to an electrical contractor for this test the cost would probably more than you paid for the cables in the first place...

    Car boot purchase - not safe

    A (Megger)/insulation continuity tester will not prove that the earth conductor within the cable can carry a full fault current, it may be just holding on by one strand and the insulation/continuity test will show good. It needs a test with a full fault currant applied, to prove the earth...

    Brian. Sorry to read your news, as a MS victim myself I understand your situation, that’s not quite true as no two peoples MS is exactly the same. I was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis in 2003, but I had walking problems years before that. I was then sixty years old, but...

    Fretworker website

    Sorry to read that, not being at all computer savvy I can’t offer any useful information. The only thing I get (Error 404) when trying to access many sites including this site and always with the British Gas site. Hope it all resolves its self, and keep in mind that computers and computer...

    Standing or sitting

    Sitting for me, but I am disabled by (MS), so standing is not an option, but as others have said, do a temporary rig for both sitting and standing to see which is for you. Happy scrolling and may your blades be tight. :D Chris.

    Fretworker website

    John. Not at all computer savvy myself, so don’t know what’s involved making a web site, but the two samples you have posted look good. So I would say, go for it, put the (UK) on the map, regarding fret sawing/ scroll sawing. (hammer) Chris.
