tonylumps Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 i just received my used Hegner Multimax that I won on Ebay.It did not survive the trip to well.i decided to go over the entire saw this week.The fan housing was pushed in,rubbing the motor fan. The top and bottom arms were misaligned.After taking care of those problems i ordered a a few parts from Advanced mach.The saw is now like new.So decided to touch up some of the scratches after I fixed the fan housing.Low and behold the Paint I have for my Kubota Tractor matches perfectly.So if anyone that wants to touch up there Hegner.A Kubota dealer for a rattle can will do it. stoney, Jim Finn and LarryEA 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I am a new guy i bought the Porter Cable about a month ago so i want to compare the 2 .But because i just put the Hegner back together .I notice It is just a simple design very few moving parts that could go bad.I hope it works out for me.

Sycamore67 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I love my Hegner and is a solid machine. Even better is that you can easily get parts. If I did fret work, it would not be my choice but for cutting thicker wood is great. Good Luck with it. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) It is some taking getting use to for me, especially after doing detail fret work with the Excalibur. Do not give up, it is a work horse and the more I get use to it and work with it the more I like it. Like Sycamore67 stated, not for smaller, real detailed fretwork, but works well on large portraits, check out Charles Dearing's work. I think you will like it. Hegner should break down and modernize it with easy blade holders top and bottom and eliminate the tool requirement, but it is do able as is. Good to know about the paint. I have a place on the motor where the paint has come off. I bought a demo model. Edited February 9, 2016 by Scrappile amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Well I will never ever buy a saw and have it shipped either new or used. A disaster. First one was a Hawk which I had to send back at my expense because of excessive vibration. Then I bought a Hegner. Should have sent that back too but I didn't for some reason. I think it must have gotten bent in the shipping process because cutting puzzles is a hit or miss situation. It is difficult to get it tuned and stay tuned. I'll only buy locally from now on so I can return it if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvman44 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Don't know why but I thought Hegners were red? That is what I get for thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 To get a paint match to any color all you need to do, is take a paint chip to most automotive parts suppliers that sell paint. They can match colors the same way as Walmart can, all they have to do is scan it. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotshot Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) One of my Hegners could use a some fresh paint. Thanks for the tip, I may give it a try ----------Randy Edited February 10, 2016 by hotshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted February 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Don't know why but I thought Hegners were red? That is what I get for thinking. That is what I thought until I started spraying .Then I looked at my tractor about 5'away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep the the main arms was bent to one side when I checked the blade with a small square.I just forced it back over a little at a time.It worked I don,t think you could do that with any other saw without breaking something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
