Rockytime Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Here's my $200 Hawk. It came with some goodies. A box full of wooden toys, bag of wheels and misc. things I have not yet rooted out. Unveiling comes tomorrow.

jbrowning Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Congrats Rockytime, I'm hoping it is a quick and easy fix on the saw. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 good buy for sure. That is what I am talking about when people are looking for good saws. Look around they are out there. Stay away from those cheap $200 saws. Mine has never been covered. used all the time. Good luck and happy scrolling. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 That looks like a great find even with the cover on it. I can't wait to see what you find in that control mechanism. I have my fingers crossed for you that it's a simple and inexpensive fix. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Les, if it turns out to be more wrong with the motor than you hoped, maybe this is a way to go, make a deal with for this to be sent to you. https://kpr.craigslist.org/tls/d/rbi-hawk-scroll-saw-ac-motor/6451341688.html Edited January 25, 2018 by Scrappile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Well here it is. In addition to the saw it came with a ton of other things. I'm guessing more than 100 toy wheels, 11 toy cars, some partially cut kit like a cart or something. There are no instructions or patterns for it. Don't know what I willdo with it yet. Were there a scrolling group here I would donate it. I also gave my 14" Hawk to a friend. I might give the16" away. Still thinking about it. Saw is pristine except an accidental white spray on a front leg. Someone got too close. Only disappointment is no articulated air nozzle which I will order. I'll have to wait for warm weather before I tackle it. jbrowning and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling that they have a problem with potentiometers. But, for a $100 the motor is worth the purchase. It makes one wonder why it's available. What became of the rest of the saw?

John, it is nearly new. The problem is the motor controller. When we get some real warm weather I will remove it and check it. I only have room to work in the driveway. If it is just the pot I can replace it. If not I'll just order a controller. First I'll blow it out then check it with an ohm meter. I don't think it has a pc board but I'll find out I guess. The one thing I"m skeptical about is the bottom clamp. My homemade round clamps work so flawless. I hope the new style works as well.

Ray The old man that had it was losing his eyesight. However, There is virtually nothing that cannot be repaired easily. There is nothing complicated about the saw.

You might be able to jump either side of the controller pot and see if it goes fast and slow with just the area in between that is not functioning properly.

Rockytime Posted January 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't know Ray, It is too cold to sit outside and work on it.My wife's car WILL NOT sit outside!
