Scrappile Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Holy cow, the scroll saw deal of the year! Except for a few flakes of paint on the motor, that baby looks brand new. CONGRATULATIONS! You even have the cover for it! When I got mine and saw how little the foot pedal is, I thought that will not do. But it is my favorite now. Much more solid than the bigger on I have on my Seyco. Great find. Great buy. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsN Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 congrats on the new saw and all of the goodies!! what a great deal. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Thanks Katie, Paul and Kevin, he even threw in a couple boxes of hardwood scraps of Walnut, Cherry, Maple and Oak. Can't wait to get into the shop and start learning how to use it. You've seen what came with it, does anyone have suggestions on what I might want to consider getting? I will need to figure a way of mounting a lamp to it, but not a Hegner lamp. That's a little out of my budget at the time. Thanks Jim Edited December 31, 2017 by jbrowning OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as a light, keep in mind you can build a stand for one you already have or get a gooseneck lamp and mount it to something nearby, it doesn't necessarily need to mount to the saw. I look forward to hearing about the saw once you start cutting with it. Edited December 31, 2017 by Iguanadon OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Or, if you like the one on your DeWalt, rig something up so that it can mount in the hole on the Hegner. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) The only thing you need is the quick clamp.I thought it was a bit pricey. But after you use it a couple of times That feeling goes away .As far as the light. You have the bracket .To witch forth I had to buy LOL.Any clamp light that has a removable clamp bracket will fit.I found mine on amazon You may have to wrap some tape around the bottom stem to keep it snug.But the saw is a learning curve that you will enjoy for a long time.Lots of luck That saw looks like it has never been used. Just looked at the table again. Edited December 31, 2017 by tonylumps OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylumps Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just noticed Advance has a couple of new videos on you tube About the blade mounting system. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Harbor Freight has a good light that will work for around $40 https://www.harborfreight.com/fluorescent-magnifying-lamp-60643.html use the 20% off coupon on their home page. Pull it off the clamp it has and it will fight right in the holder on your saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted December 31, 2017 Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great deal! I saw that on craigs when it was posted. I purchased a Hawk in the Springs and another Hawk in Monument. Alas, my shop is full and overflowing. I did mount an led lamp on one hawk and then removed it. There was just enough vibration to look like a soft flickering florescent. Drove me nuts. Short trip. I mounted it on a shelf next the saw. Problem solved. Enjoy that saw! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted December 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2017 Hello everyone, has anyone of you use the zero clearance that came with my Hegner? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use zero clearance all the time. I used Hegner disc (the gray plastic) until I made a larger auxiliary table top. Now I make my own disc that are the same thickness as my aux top.

jbrowning Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Does this look right to you all? Is there a way to make it to where the blade is center on this disk? OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 On the ones I make now, it is easy, I use a compass to draw the circle for the size disc I want. Coarse the drafting compass leaves a mark in the center. In the Hegner ones, I measured the diameter of the circle, set the correct distance for the radius and work a little to mark the center. I got close enough. I do not make a cut like is in the table top, and on my aux top I do not have that cut. It is easy enough to put the blade in with the zero disc removed then when I have the blade in the bottom clamp I put the disc down over the blade.

Scrappile Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) No, that does not look right. Should be centered in the slot in the table. Is the table at 90 degrees to the blade? I am not expert enough to figure an adjustment, from looking at my saw. I guess loosen the nuts that hold the table on and see if the table can be moved over a little. Check the straightness of the upper and lower arms. And send the picture to Advance Machinery and ask them for guidance. They are helpful. And maybe some one on here can help.

jbrowning Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks Paul, it sure didn't look right to me either. But man that saw sure does cut nicely. Yes the table is 90 degrees to the saw blade. After I get this dragon cut out (yes my first cut has to be one of my hardest puzzles haha.) I will see if I can figure out which nuts hold the table on the frame. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just moved it over to the light clamp on the Hegner and it fit perfectly. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
