Have you solved?

I am now using Opera as my browser and it has a neat ability to grab shots of anything on the screen. I haven't tried editing them yet but I think it will.

Wow, a classic thread from way way way back, resurrected from obscurity.  There was a lot of good vendor feedback from Hans in this one.

Only bad part, and maybe I just miss it, but what was the final resolution for @Dave Monk?  I know he still has his Hegner...  I got to say, I have two saws, Hegner and Seyco.  My poor Seyco just sits 90% of the time... I am just so comfortable with my Hegner.  Took me a little while to get use to the Hegner when I first got it.  But once I did,  I would not part with it as long as I am able to scroll.  If I lived where there are more scrollers,  I would probably try to sell my Seyco... just because I don't use it enough to justify it sitting there...

This is my Hegner, It's normal that when the top arm is up, the blade is inclined? I have tried many times with standard clamps and quick clamp, adjusting  in all ways the knurled screw. Excuse me for my english language. I'm Italian

Welcome to the village. Your language is just fine. Far better than my Italian. As to your question, any scroll that has two arms and hold a blade with tension will swing through somewhat of an arc. So, it will be, at times, either fore or aft and the only time it might be centered is at the exact center of that arc. There has been much discussion regarding this subject but it looks like your saw is just fine. As long as it cuts well and you can control it, all good.

Benvenuto nel villaggio. La tua lingua va benissimo. Molto meglio del mio italiano. Per quanto riguarda la tua domanda, qualsiasi rotolo che ha due braccia e tiene una lama con tensione oscillerà attraverso un arco. Quindi, a volte sarà a prua oa poppa e l'unica volta che potrebbe essere centrato è al centro esatto di quell'arco. Ci sono state molte discussioni su questo argomento, ma sembra che la tua sega stia bene. Finché taglia bene e puoi controllarlo, tutto bene. 

 

Thanks, but I think that if the two arms were parallel, (therefore the blade of the right size), the blade would be perpendicular in any position of the arms.

You would think so but it's not. It is held firm at both ends and pivots near the center of the upper arm. The two arms, the blade and the tension bolt at the rear form a pretty solid rectangle and it does pivot and forms an arc. Very minimal but an arc never the less.

The resolution was that I quit worrying about it and scrolled. It's a work horse saw. Would not give it up. Some projects I like using my Pegas.  It is more aggressive and faster cutting.
