georgeorwell Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 Hi All I have a chance to buy a 10year old hawk 220 and I was wondering what it is worth. It has a footpedal, stand and a ton on patters and such. No varible speed and no toolless for the top blade mount. The person wants $399 is that a good price or not Thanks in advance Eric Blair Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 You can get a brand new Dewalt for $450 with all the bells and whistles. I would not buy it. Quote
Travis Posted January 20, 2010 Report Posted January 20, 2010 I agree. It sounds overpriced for what it is. Hawk is a very nice/high end machine. But if it truely is only single speed and requires tools to change the blade, I'd pass. I think having variable speed could be the most important part of the scroll saw (other than having he blade move up and down ). Plus having to use tools to change blades is a pain. I'm sure the pattern collection sounds appealing, but we have almost 850 free patterns here you can download for free. Plus there's a lot of other websites that have free patterns too. Like JT said, you can buy a DeWalt for $450. Everybody who owns one is thrilled with it. You can check eBay to see what Hawk have been selling for in the past to gague the market value. But when I checked, it looks like they were selling mostly newer VS models. Quote
