kmmcrafts Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I just run across this craigslist ad, Does that metal thing sticking up look like the up front tension release? Seems like it'd be a good deal for someone if it is.. Normally I see the orange colored handle but it's either worn off or that's not what I think it is, LOL https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/tls/d/warrenton-hegner-multicut-s-scroll-saw/7264892005.html OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrscroller Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi Not sure on that one, I have a hegner 18vs with the tension lever. That thing looks kinda beat up. Bill OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjweb Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Not sure, but why don't people not clean up and shine their tools before posting them for sale, RJ OCtoolguy and Dave Monk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I prefer people don't clean up what they are selling. I can get it cheaper when it does not look good. It's all a matter of understanding what you are buying. Hegners do not wear out and if they do repairing with new bushings is a snap. If I were close I would buy it in a heartbeat. Might be able to buy it for a little cheaper. Super easy to clean up. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 To answer your question Kevin, yes that is the rear tension release lever. But something doesn't look right about that saw. The black box under and by the motor is the speed control/on/off switch. I can't make out that it has the knob for the speed control. Anyway, if I were you, I'd be hot-footing to wherever that is and buy it. Heck, you could part it out and make money but that's not what I'd do. I think at that price, it's a very good deal. Are you near to where it is? Get going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Nope too far of a drive for me.. This is in Washington DC / Virginia.. I'm in Michigan.. and have 5 saws.. so don't need or want it bad enough for that kind of drive nor would I pay to have it shipped.. Just seen it but couldn't make out if that was the tension lever or something else.. Could be a good deal for someone I suppose.. I'd buy it if it was within a hour drive or something maybe..

Scrappile Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 It is a tension clamp... but the guy needs to be whooped for abusing his saw like that... It needs respect and love.... OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Kevin, after I posted I checked to see where they were. I was thinking Michigan but when I saw Virginia, I was sorry that I had even said anything. Oh well, it's a deal for somebody. kmmcrafts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
