Hitachi Scroll Saw

I looked them over back around 2008 before buying the DeWalt.. If I remember correctly you had to open up the bottom side panel to access the lower blade. Believe it was a hinged door type deal but still would be annoying to do blade changes, thought I'd likely just remove that door.. Maybe thinking of a different saw but I looked at a lot of low - mid level saws back then and am glad I went with the DeWalt. IF I were in the market for used saws knowing what I know about most brands I'd probably only consider a DeWalt and the EX,King,newer Jets styled like the EX, and Pegas like saws... and obviously the Hawk and Hegner... Hawk would have to be a Ultra or newer and the Hegner would have to have the front tension lever and quick clamp.. though the quick clamp is a fairly easy and somewhat reasonable priced add-on.. front tension lever is a easy add-on too I think but not necessarily cheap unless your getting a heck of a deal on the saw. Since the whole upper arm has to be replaced I think.

Yes, removing the side panel made blade changes much faster and efficient.
