tonylumps Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I just bought a EX 16 off of EBAY.Do I really need it. Maybe I just wanted to try an Excalibur for the top feed.I am happy with the Hegner I guess if it does not work out I could always sell it.

Denny Knappen Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 I agree, an Ex16 would be a good second saw. 125 CSL and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 There's nothing worse than being out of commission because your saw has broken down. Having a spare saw is a great thing to have. Plus, it's small enough you might be able to store it in your camper so you can take it on vacation with you!!! Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 If you got it for a good price, you got a good deal and there's no sense in worrying about it. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Most of us have 2 saws, I have a DeWalt and an Ex21. And yes I do use both. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted July 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 My first saw was the Porter Cable .Good saw for the money.low vibration Quiet But if you can,t install a blade what good is the saw.I had a hard time with the lower clamp.Even made the tool for it.That is up for sale now that I bought the EX.When will these tool companies learn and quit selling junk.It would cost about another 25.00 to put a decent blade mount on the Porter Cable.

ronniedev Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 I've have had two saws for quite a while. My go to saw is a Hawk G4 and my backup is a Black Excalibur Summerville design saw. Made a lot of sawdust with both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonylumps Posted July 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 I just did a Review of the EX 16 In the Saw section.I would like some input to see if I am off base I did a little comparison to the Hegner.And that is what I came up with so far. I did quite a few cuts with the EX the past couple of days and I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenie Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I agree 2 would be better than 1. I was in the middle of a project when my saw quit--had to stall until a new one came in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have two, an Ex and a Hegner. Until recently I have not got along too well with the Hegner but I am now getting the hang of it and may end up even liking it. Now that being said, I check Craigslist often for scroll saws. If I find a deal I just can't pass up, I will have 3 scroll saws,,,, no law against it that I know of. Jim Finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Two saws... two saws... two saws... You need two saws.... I have two Deltas and they both have a pattern being cut. Take a break on one and start cutting on the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I have three. One is set up at an angle for doing inlays, one has the table level and the third one is under my bench. Haven't touched that one in over a year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
