    Can not wait for your feedback ☺

    Hard decision, need help! Hegner 2S or Ex 21

    You can achieve the same results, or even better with changing the stroke lenght and/or front/ back blade movement if your saw allows it.

    Hard decision, need help! Hegner 2S or Ex 21

    OK, found some material on the net explaining the speed difference : http://www.50hz60hz.com/ It's petty simple, the mains frequency and number of poles are determining the speed of the motor.

    Hard decision, need help! Hegner 2S or Ex 21

    I'm not sure if the speed can be increased. I remember reading somewhere that it's possible with sending the saw to the manufacturer, but cannot remember where I saw this. It's interesting that the American Hegners are coming with higher speed - 1700 strokes per minute, and Europeans with 1400...

    Great choice Dzarek, for someone with scrrolling as a full time job this sounds like the best choice. I think i've already decided to go with a Hegner and I like the multicut 1 very much for its light weight and small size, but few things bothers me about this model - its cutting thickness...

    Wellcome Dzarek and thank you for sharing your experience, even the new ex 21 is probably refined version of yours, I'm getting more and more convinced that I will have to buy Hegner. I feel very sorry for your bad luck with the Ex 21 and I wish you will settle down happily with the Hegner...

    That's what I was thinking, if you don't want to completely remove the NVR.

    Hi Malcolm, I hope you are happy scrolling with the new toy :-). I have a few questions: 1. Is there any vibrating in the saw on particular speeds, or it is smooth running throughout the whole range? 2. Can you bypass/remove the big safety switch on the back side easy and most important, if...

    Malcolm, I think this is the best review I've seen so far on EX series scroll saws, Excalibur and Axi, thank you for the time spend to share with us!

    Sure scrimper, your statement is correct in general, it just doesn't apply for scroll saws, even the cheapest ones does not have harsh noisy motors. Induction motors are superior and last forever, but they do not reduce vibration. Just take any heavily vibrating scroll saw, disconnect the arm...

    Excalibur Scrollsaws

    I don't even think for a second to argue which motor is better. Induction motors by design are far more reliable, quiet and smooth running. But I don't think the vibration in a scroll saw comes from the motor itself. Not having experience with other scroll saws, I just want to share my...

    Great review Malcolm really thankfull for that. I think my scales are leaning to Ex16 for now. It will cost me about half of the hegner 2S but 6 kg havier. By the way i've checked all shipping methods from UK and Germany to Botswana and the cheapest is about 250 euro, so i will defiinitely go...

    Congrats to you as well Malcolm! I'm even more interested in EX-16, so I have no patience for you to finish your tea :-). Please tell us how it performs, noise, vibrations, blade side to side and back to back and try to finish 1 million projects in the next 4 months and update us :-)

    Congratulations Tomas! I wish you many years of happy scrolling and to never need to service your new toy. May I ask you a favor: please update us after 3-4 months, by that time I should decide what scroll saw to buy myself :-)

    No problem Lons, I'm not in a hurry at all, but I'm interested, especially if Steve can ship it straight to Botswana :-). Please let us know about that AXI EX21 that you will meet on Friday.

    Excalibur Scrollsaws

    If someone is interested, just got a reply from Axi for my enquiry regarding the new Axi EX-16 scroll saw spare parts. Prices also look quite reasonable, I just don't understand the 'Ordering over the phone' part and why they don't list them on their website for normal ordering??: "" Thank you...

    Thank you John, I really like both machines (Ex-16 and Hegner 2S) and still deciding which one to get. I hear you and your input is highly appreciated! Could you please tell me your opinion about the difference between Hegner 2S and SE? Does it worth paying 110 Euro premium for stainless steel...

    Thanks AES, I just received an email from Axi, I ask them if they can ship straight to Botswana, that would be the perfect solution, but unfortunately they kindly refused - see below: "Dear Mr Dimitrov, Thank you for your email enquiry. Please accept my sincere sincere apologies but due to...
