Hegner Blade Clamp Pictures

Good morning everyone, has anyone ever seen a picture or video of what the inside of a Hegner blade clamp looks like? I'm asking about the bottom clamp and the top clamp

that has the wheel to turn and tighten it. Has anyone seen pictures of the inside of these clamps? I'm trying to visualize what they look like.

Thanks

Jim

The bottom clamp is similar to many other scroll saw clamps. The bolt pulls the sides together to clamp the blade between two flat surfaces.

The quick clamp is very different. On the left side is an adjustable set screw to allow for wear. On the right side is a bolt with a knurled knob on the outside , the inside of the bolt resembles the end of a c-clamp, a rotating surface that is independent of the screw, this reduces the twisting force on the end of the blade.

If you need them, I'll try to get pictures of mine.

I appreciate your all's help. I'll go and see if I'm attaching the blades correctly or not.

Thanks

The main thing with the Quik clamp is it's tightened in the upper holder so that it can't rock. It stays locked in one place. In my estimation they should come out with a way to do the same on the lower clamp and do away completely with the old style clamps. It would be so much easier than having to load the clamp and then insert it into the lower arm.
