stoney Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 I guess I am doing something wrong as I can't retrieve a thread I posted about changes I made to my Hegner Multi-Max 22v to make it more user friendly. I thought it might serve new Hegner owners that haven't seen it to take a look. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 @stoney, just wanted to let you know,,, I did "the mod" on my Hegner a little over a week ago. It turned out to be very simple, as you said... the longest part being taping the hole. I was going real slow and careful doing that,,,, in a little ways back, in a little more and back out... Got the spring at an Ace Hardware. It was a little weak, held the arm up, but when I lowered the arm there was hardly any resistance and I didn't like the feel.... My saw also seemed to have more vibration than before the mod... so I made the spring a little shorter and it really helped. Not sure if the spring caused the vibration, I had to move the saw to work on it and I have to get it back in just the right spot or it will vibrate more. Anyway, I got it done and I glad I did it... helps to have the arm go up higher... I need to find a little orange paint now...

stoney Posted November 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I am glad to hear you like the modification Paul. I didn't experience the vibration issue you mentioned. I read somewhere that Kubota tractors paint is a good match. OCtoolguy and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will just put a smiley face sticker over it or something.... OCtoolguy, stoney and Jim Finn 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just a word to the wise.... If you do this mod,,,, remember not to put you magnifying light quite as close to your work as you use to...... if the blade brakes, the arm will pop up it will be popping higher than it did before and BAM.....! Almost sent the light right into my nose!!! Cracked the protective piece over the light bulb....! be right back,,, got to take a shower and change my pants... stoney and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering Paul did you change the spring when you moved the stop? I installed a much lighter spring as it only has to be strong enough to hold the arm in the raised position. Yea I probably should have noted the arm does raise substantially more, like several inches. Other than scaring the daylights out of ya, how do you like the extra room the mod created? Edit: I just reread your first post and answered my own questions! Yea if you use a spring with to much tension the arm behaves like a catapult!!

Scrappile Posted December 7, 2020 Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 I had a lighter spring, but it was too light... for me. The arm would stay up, but was too easy to pull down,,, just didn't feel right to me... so I put on a little heavier one. I like having the arm go higher... stoney and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
