Not, I suspect, that I have a hope of ever affording it, but what is the best scroll saw money can buy? Is there a single machine that ticks all the boxes?

Thanks for the advice everyone. It looks like I will have to delay starting up my new hobby while I save up some more money for a Hegner. Meanwhile, I'll keep an eye on ebay...

Mark thanks for inputmac1012":1e17l58l said:webby your 394 for the axminster is the same price as a base model hegner, true the spec on your ax is about the same as a mid range hegner and a good looking clone the same mid hegner is about 700 , i guess my point is you can afford a hegner but it depends whether you want the higher spec on a lower quality machine or a lower spec on a higher quality machine.
i have a base model hegner had it for three years now and have no regrets the precision of the blade when in motion is second to none in my opinion.
it has paid for itself many times over with the craft work ive sold the axs look good although having never tried an ax i cant compare to the hegner.
if you need bigger throat and variable speed is a must then go for it but make sure your not getting a machine with a spec you will nver use is my advice.
ive cut thicknesses from 4mm to 35mm soft and hard on the hegner never needed variable speed just the correct blade.
but if you get the ax let us know how you get on with it
