stoney Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Boy! I have never tried it. I'm wondering why you would. Do you have some pinned blades you are trying to use up? I would think in order to clamp them you would have to have the pin outside the clamping surface which changes the normal distance between the upper and lower arms. I would think that would cause a forward and backward movement of the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 The reason why I am asking is I just ordered sanding belts for a scroll saw from Wooden Teddy Bear.I ordered Pin type and it mention that I could use them on the Hegner.but I also have a Porter Cable that I could use them on. So I took the clamps off of the hegner and mounted a pin blade where the clamps mount.I adjusted the tension a little and the the pin blade works fine.There is a very very little fore and aft movement And I do have a lot of pin blades But that was not the reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
