TAIrving Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 There is a listing on eBay for a Hegner Unimax Fret Scroll saw 0310585. I cannot find any information on it anywhere, not the Advanced Machinery website nor an internet search. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a scroll saw? Thanks, I am just curious.

Rockytime Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I don't know what it is. I would stay away from it. Anytime the seller doesn't want you to see it well it's time to run! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I think this takes those oddball 3" fretsaw blades.. Don't think it's considered a scroll saw per say.. I didn't dig too deep but I did find the manual and I also found a new one in the UK? Hegner website.. The date on the tag from the eBay ad shows this model being a 2003.. Don't know how long they was made.. I have seen them pop up on occasion online.. don't think they was a very big hit for Hegner in part because the blade changing looks pretty cumbersome and those oddball blades may be hard to find..IF it does in fact use those odd 3" blades.. Don't take my word on this info as I'm just kinda guessing by the looks of the machine and what I have read in the past.. Before buying it I would contact advancedmachinery and ask some questions.. I seen this on eBay the other day and was going to look into it more.. been occupied by some personal issues the last few days. Edit for manual link I forgot to put in before posting. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1188/6562/files/Hegner_UNIMAX_MANUAL.pdf?3248921969229599006 Edited January 5, 2021 by kmmcrafts OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIrving Posted January 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Thanks Les and Kevin. I have no intention to buy it, I was just curious what it might be and I think you have answered that. There are lots of problems with this. 1. There is no room in my small shop for another saw. 2. It is 2003 manufacture but is still in the box! 3 It uses 3" blades - what are those and where would one get them? 4. I cannot find a "Fret Saw Village" forum to compare with our "Scroll Saw Village". etc. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I'm sure many folks would be happy to talk about fret saws here and give advice.. still doesn't seem right, I have those issues with my CNC and Laser.. there are a lot of groups and forums out there.. NOTHING can come close to being as good as the the "Scroll Saw Village and the People of the scroll saw village... OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
