    Advice on reasonable scroll saw and extras

    Any scroll saw that retails for less than £250 new is mostly the same saw under different retail labels and not worth considering if you want ease of use, so a second hand saw would be your best bet (cheap saws can work well and produce good things, they are just not as easy to use as better...

    Are you also changing to fortnightly black bag collections? with food waste every week, they are supplying a new wheelie bin and food waste bucket, or a seagull sack , despite our having already paid five quid for a council seagull sack, thinking of all the plastic wheelie bins and seagull sacks...

    Bloody officialdom....

    That is very much what I was saying out loud to no one in particular but after the umpteenth "your call is very important to us" I resigned myself to listen to whatever passes as their music which is very loud and irritating even on the lowest setting, thank goodness for hands free cordless phones

    Hegner development

    I totally agree the Hegner prices are utterly ridiculous, I believe the quick clamp it now about £34 with postage, I was lucky to get mine second hand for £15, but they are rare to find used I have an Axminster AWFS18 Hegner clone, which is variable speed I bought some new blade clamps about 8...

    Hegner development

    As I said I only use the V clamp at the bottom, using the quick clamp at the top, my point being should anyone not have a quick clamp the two blocks as a guide is very useful, even just using the bottom clamp the two guides aid clamping the blade dead straight, where the Henger only has one

    Hegner development

    I have never understood why Hegners only come with one blade guide on the table, my AWFS18 has two, whilst I only use the V blade clamp for the bottom, it does make it easy to see that the blade is clamped straight

    Electrician, or who for a bathroom fan job ?

    I will have to have a further look myself next week, I had a hell of a game getting the cover shield off last time I tried, I didn't want to damage anything but son in law got it off, they were reluctant to go further as they didn't want to get to a point of not being able to refit the fan, but...
