    Single or varispeed

    Thanks for the offer Olwyn. Yorshire's a bit of a trek from Essex! Kind offer though. I'm going to the SE Woodworking show this weekend. Should see some stuff there with a bit of luck.

    Single or varispeed

    thanks hawkinob, will take a look at them. There seems to be quite a few about, and they all seem to come from the east! It's the build quality I'm concerned about.

    Did look at the Multicut1, Blister. Good machine but only 14' throat.

    Single or varispeed

    Thanks again folks. I think the variable speed is the way to go. And I'm now caught between a Sheppach and the much more expensive Hegner. Might have to raid the piggybank if I go for the Hegner. £300 or £745? Mmmmm

    Thanks for this info, you have been very helpful and I'm beginning to get a clearer picture now.

    Single or varispeed

    I hope you folks don't mind me picking your brains, still trying to work it all out. It concerns single speed scrollsaws. When single speed saws run is it at the max speed; i.e. if a varispeed on the same model is between 400 and 1400 will the single speed be running at 1400? And is this a good...

    Sheppach Scroll Saws

    Sheppach Scroll Saws

    Thanks Jadboog. The lack of quick release blades is interesting, another thing to think about. I also read another post about Hegners, so will be looking at those too. Trying to keep all my options open. As well as the bank account!

    Scheppach DecoFlex Scroll Saw

    Thanks for the advice folks. I did post this elsewhere on this site because I thought this might be an old thread. So now I have loads of info. Yeah. I had thought the Sheppach might be the one but now I will look at the Hegner Multicut1 you recommend Gill. More options have to be better...

    Sheppach Scroll Saws

    Thank you for the replies. These comments have been really helpful. I do think now that the 405 is the one to go for, in terms of size and power, and it does seem to be reliable for what I've read on the web. I will follow your advice and check out suppliers, see the beast in the flesh before...

    Sheppach Scroll Saws

    Hi all. I'm just getting started in this scroll saw business and the Sheppach 405 has caught my attention and seems like a good place to start. I noticed one of the above posts said that the Sheppach 405 was made in the far east. I thought they were made in Germany, which was one of the reasons...

    Scheppach DecoFlex Scroll Saw

    Thanks Blister, but the Hegner stuff is a bit more pricey than I wanted at the moment.
