Stillwater Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Somebody up there must like me...I have mention out here how last week, I ordered a new Hegner Multimax 22-V Scroll saw, with the stand, the magnifying light and the foot switch. It came today, Saturday. I will set it up later this eveningAnd, I mentioned that I had an older model 113.236180, 16 inch, variable speed Craftsman saw that was really smooth to operate. When it came time to change blades, you could lose all of your religion in a hurry. When I got it, in 1988, it was Craftsmans top-of-the-line, variable speed Scroll Saw. I was prowling around the Internet thursday and found a used, but like new, Hegner Multimax 18-V, at a really rightous price. It came with the stand, the magnifying light and the foot switch. I called the gentleman that owned it, thursday. I drove there Friday morning, about a hundred and twenty-five miles away, to look at it, and it is in at least 99% condition. I didn't dither, I snapped it up.Another good thing, I now have a person who will probably, become a good friend.Several books came with it, and about fifty, or sixty Olson blades. I feel pretty fortunate to own two, count them, two, Hegner Scroll Saws... One, is a Multimax 22-V saw, and the other is it's little brother, a Multimax 18-V saw.When I got home, I reassembled the 18" Hegner, to it's stand, and played around with it a little bit. It is so smooth, to operate, that I am happy to the core, that I was so fortunate, to acquire this used saw, one that is in such good condition.Bill Wilson's Woodworking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 Sounds like you got a great deal all around Bill.

Stillwater Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I have been on the Scroll Saw Forums (2) for just a little while... I'm pretty observent to what goes on around me. There is one thing I have noticed, among Wood Workers posting on these forums. The world is a better place for their presence here. I really like to read the opinions, and the technical advice. It is all top drawer, to me anyway. One thing I really like is how the Scroll Saw people in other countries, seem to share a mutual bond with us Yanks. And, I LIKE THAT.

DW I know this is off topic but, I just wanted to tell DWSUDEKUM that my Great Grandfather was born in Mentor, Ohio. He was born there in 1804...!
