Clayton717 Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 This is the saw I bought from auction after asking the questions on here. After getting it home I realized it was a little bigger than expected and my shop was a little to small to add another tool. So I added a small addition to hold the Hawk. It looks to be in great shape. I broke the air blower hose when unloading that's why its a different color. It came with a magnifying light, and the small "side tray" but didn't get them back on before I took the pic. I haven't use it much yet. the blade change may take a little getting used to. I'm thinking of using this for my intarsia and my EX 21 for the fretwork for now. Scrappile, OCtoolguy, lawson56 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrowning Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 You know, if you don't have room for that Hawk. I can probably make a road trip to Ohio and take it off your hands. I hope you like it. Jim OCtoolguy, meflick and Clayton717 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Congratulations on your G4. I don't know anything about the G4 but being a Hawk you've got to be happy. Clayton717 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) The G-4 is the one I think I would want. Solely based on forum discussions with other Hawk owners. I seldom see them in my end of the country. I missed out on one about a year ago. I think it was about double the price you said you paid for your! Congrats on yours,,, please let us know how you like it after some use.

jbrowning Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I have to say even after using my 226VS for 3 weeks every day my chubby fingers still have a hard time getting in and tightening the upper blade clamp. I might start looking at doing something about that. Other than that issue, I'm loving mine. I hope you get the blade change and tension sorted out.

spirithorse Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Congrats on the new purchase, Clayton, I hope you enjoy it and I really hope I run across some sort of good deal on a scroll saw soon. I'm pretty cheap so, it may take me some time to find a saw that I like in my budget. God Bless!

I prefer it over the winged knob. Plenty of torque and easier on the fingers. See your local hardware store. jbrowning and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal.) there are many great deals on top line saws on C/L. I have bought two of them and I feel that I stole both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
