It's on my work bench where I have my 2se, unbolted, working well enough to leave a 5p standing while it runs. This new one is a shock to the system. I'm in communication with Chris at hegner technical, and he is going to communicate with the manufacturers. I've bought old ones off eBay when I...

My first hegner was a nearly 30 year old multicut 1 vs, I still regret having had to sell it in order to fund the purchase of my 2se, but at the time I wanted the bigger size, and the tension and the footpedal, it was only a year old and was less than half price, and I did have to beef up my...

Um,... I'm in communication with Chris at hegner, who's contacting the manufacturer. I have an engineer friend going to come and take a look at the end of the week to see of he can shed any light. So far can't fault the after sales service, but it's the first time I've bought a brand new...

Yep, that's it bolted down. As my bench is wood in a wooden workshop with a wooden floor, I expect a degree of vibration, which I do get in my old saw, but...

Hi all. I'm an experienced scrollsawer of around 12 years, using hegners. I have just invested in a multicut 2s as a back up for my variable speed one which needs a look at for a wiring fault. The first one went back due to crazy vibration, and I received the second one yesterday. I'm just...

Been distracted doing my tax return, but back on the saw today, this morning it was playing up, so while I'm waiting for new switch to arrive I swapped over the wires onto the two spare prongs on the switch. Scrolled for 3 hours and so far it's behaving itself 🤞hoping that's it sorted, although...

Thanks guys, I'll have a look and see what I can do, fingers crossed I can fix it easily 🤞

Thanks, have no idea what that means, but I will look it up. I've never soldered before, but if I can't do it I know a man who can, although he does seem to hide now when I ask his advice, things always seem to end up being more difficult than they appear 🤣

Hi scrimper, thanks for your help. Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. I'm guessing that I have a faulty connection somewhere, which is going to be hard to pin down. I did speak with hegner early on, they thought I could replace the unit, but I've looked in there, it looks complicated 🤣 Its...

I've been a hegner owner for a good few years now, and love them... but... My 2013 2se started giving me problems quite a while ago, it is losing speed/power erratically. When it first started doing it, it appeared to be a loose wire connector in the switch, now reconnected, but it's driving me...

Hi Ian My advice would be to keep an eye on eBay for a second hand hegner. You should be able to find one within your budget, ask the sellers if they are willing to pack it up for a carrier if necessary, many are, and it should only add around £15 top. Ask yourself if you really need variable...

I don't know your saw, but daft question, if it's variable speed, do you have the speed at full? Packing tape or selotape will help to reduce burning, and maybe try #5 blade for that thickness of wood? I use pretty much entirely pegas modified geometry blades now, a 5 or a 7 would be better for...

Is this recent? I received an order from them no trouble last week.

I don't comment very often, but felt I had to here As a know nothing about band saws, I have struggled occasionally with what to buy and how to use it when I do. I have bought from Axminster, and it was fine. I consistently buy from Tuffsaws now partly because the blades do the the job I abuse...

Funny you should say that... moved it all about to make it more permanent, and I swear it's not quite as good 🤣 Yes, I've dropped in and out over the years, I'm sure you've helped me out in the past, as have lots of others 😊 Nice to see it's easier to post pics now. I make lots of different...
