OCtoolguy Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 That's great. You bought a great saw and got to see some nice scenery. If you have never used a Hawk, take the time to visit Bushton Mfg. website and view the "getting started" video. Especially how to adjust the tension. If not done right you'll swear that your blades are all too short. Don't ask me how I know that. GrampaJim and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bargain priced $300.I'll post pictures in a day or so. Ha That’s funny! I live in old forge pa. Born and raised here. I saw that saw for sale a few weeks ago. If I remember correctly it was in “Austin heights “ section of town. I probably know the guy who sold it. Then again at one time I knew everyone in town but there’s been a lot of transplants over recent years. Did you have any pizza? It’s the pizza capital of the world u know Good luck with your saw.

jbrowning Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 My VS226 with a serial number of 6319 was made in 1996 and my other VS226 with a serial number of 10961 was made in 1999. They both are running great. Congrats on your new scroll saw. Jim OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 My 1998 226vs Ultra is serial 103** It was purchased in Dec. of 1998 according to the receipt that came with the saw when I open the box and put it together after buying it from the original owner about 2 years ago.
