BadBob Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 The photos are not very good they were what was in the ad. The price has come down since I first noticed this. It's starting to get low enough that I'm getting interested. Can any of you hawk owners tell me anything about this one from looking at the bad photos. The current asking price is $350.

DME72 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 it has the holes in the side of the arm for the lower blade clamp, so it is an ultra model. if they showed the serial number you could call bushtom Mfg. and find out when it was built.i am guessing early to mid 1990s. they started putting the loc line air hose on in the late 90s. BTW the loc line kit is only about $20 from bushton. need to ask the brand of motor and see if it is an a/c motor or DC motor. doug OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I didn't know you was still looking at Hawks... This seems like it could be a good deal... There is a person on one of the FB groups that is in FL but not sure what part of FL that has both a Hawk 226VS and a G4 both saws for $400.. The G4 needed a tension lever or at least needed work on the tension lever mechanism.. I think the 226VS was a older model.. I'll see if I can look it up to see if it's still on there.. Actually now that i think of it.. seems like they also posted it here in the deals section a week or so back.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Just looked here on the Village and they still have them on here.. I'd probably be all over these if they was close to me, LOL.. Not that I need another saw.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always keeping an eye out for a deal on a used saw. I have an old Hawk with the two-speed motor that I bought cheap. I refurbished it and added all the upgrades I could get. It cuts great, but the blade changes are a pain. It cuts very well, but because of the blade change issue, I would like to replace it with something else if I find a bargain in a used saw. If not, I will probably buy a Pegas or something similar to my EX21. Scroll saws are scarce in my local area. My shop has got to the point where I don't feel like it is a good idea not to have a backup. kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a hawk for 225$. It runs and cuts great. I think it is an older model, Fasco motor, serial # 2242 . It has a slight surge, at times ,when i first turn it on for about 1 second, not enough of a problem for me to crawl all over it to fix it yet. I was going to buy new scroll saw, 100 -200 but i am glad i didn't because this saw is top notch. Quiet, no vibration, square cuts. I am happy with it.

NC Scroller Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 BadBob I would sell you one for $250 pickup only. I am on the Nc/Va border about 30 minutes from I-95. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl My old 220VS surged a little when I got it too.. I took the switch / VS box apart and blew ( low pressure air ) the dust out of it etc... Not sure if that was the cause or sure or not but it hasn't done it since then... That was 6 years ago.. There really wasn't a lot of visual dust in there so that's why I say.. not sure that's what the cause was.. maybe just jarring it around etc who knows but I'm not complaining..

Especially for the rainbow at the end. If you can pick up both saws for that price, I'd be all over it too. As Kevin said. Maybe you could offer him an extra $50 to meet you half way.
