CATRK Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I have an opportunity to buy a used Hegner Multimax 2. 1985. What are your thoughts? Asking $385. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think it is too much.....maybe $200 at most. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoney Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) The Hegner Multi-Max 2 is a 14.5 inch single speed saw. It is top feed only and blade tension is in the rear. It would not be a good saw for cutting fretwork. As for the price that is close to 50% of new retail for a 32 year old saw . I personally would not be interested in a saw with such limitations.

CATRK Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 Thanks. I thought it might be overpriced. About ready to order the new Seyco saw, but now considering saving a bit more money and going with the Hawk226. SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Moreton Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 If you do fretwork, go with the Seyco, or the Dewalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Congratulations! I do not think you will not be at all disappointed with the Seyco. It is like an Excalibur only with a bigger table. Very smooth and quiet. If you plan on doing a bench top mount, notify them and let them know. They will need to ensure your package contains the updated short legs for that. I highly recommend watching Steve Goods video on Youtube before you start assembly of the saw and stand. Assembly of this saw is a little more involved than most scroll saws. I referred to the video several time during assembly. It is not overly difficult, but can be a little frustrating if you do not pay close attention to the required processes.
