Popular Post Rubsterwine Posted November 27, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 A while back my Hegner scroll saw sounded like it was chopping its way thru the wood rather than sawing. I got a few replies, but nothing helped. I decided to take the saw apart and replace anything that was in question, well I did that and could not find anything wrong. Later that day I was looking at the saw and decided that I always use the foot pedal to operate the saw, so I turned the physical on off switch on and off a few times and guess what the saw started to work correctly. According to Wolfgang at Advanced Machinery the dust can make the contact intermittent. Really glad that is done.

OCtoolguy Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 On my Hegner, there was a soft membrane rubber cover over the switch. Is yours the same? I can't imagine how the dust is getting past that if you have it. I'm going to try to make mine as dust free as possible now that I know it can become a problem. Thanks for posting your fix.
