kmmcrafts Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 This says it's a Central Machinery but sure looks a lot like a Hegner to me..

Wichman Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 The third picture shows the data plate, Central Machinery i.e. Harbor Freight At first glance, sure looks like a Hegner, at least the stand. kmmcrafts, danny and OCtoolguy 3 Quote
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted January 20 Report Posted January 20 It could be a Central but thought they were always green. But here is one in blue. The thing that is pointing to it is 15" Hegner did not make a 15" https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/353669347442055/ OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 2 Quote

Yeah I seen the I.D. tag but wondered if it was actually for the saw or if someone pieced together some different saws and stands etc.. I had never seen this model saw like this so yeah I really wondered if someone put the tag on a Hegner for some weird reason, LOL The one JT posed looks like basically the same saw and I have seen one that looked like it before.. which is now making me wonder if they may have removed some of the covers.. as the one he posted has a cove to cover up the upper arm which then makes it not really look so much like a Hegner.

Maybe he even painted it red. Maybe he had a Hegner stand and that is the reason he painted it to fool people. Edited January 21 by JTTHECLOCKMAN kmmcrafts and OCtoolguy 2 Quote
BadBob Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 I have been a Harbor Freight customer since they single store, and you had to order everything by mail. I have never seen this scroll saw. You can buy Central Machinery tools from other places. There are lots of them listed as new on eBay. I always thought these were people buying them cheap on sale and reselling them on eBay, but maybe not. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
Gonzo Posted January 21 Report Posted January 21 Maybe the person bought a Hegner, and put a central machinery tag on it to fool spouse into thinking it was an inexpensive purchase kmmcrafts, OCtoolguy and danny 3 Quote
Scrappile Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 (edited) WOW! That is a puzzle. I looked several times. Look, Hegner to me, surely a Hegner stand, worth$200 these days. I think I will send it to Advance Machinery and see what they say. I can see some missing parts if it is a Hegner, but that old of a machine doen't mean it is not...

Closer look at the photos shows paint around the edges of the I.D. tag.. clearly been painted and not a Hegner but I do believe this to be a Hegner stand and then painted saw and stand to match is my guess...

Scrappile Posted January 22 Report Posted January 22 And Advance Machinery's answer is: " is this a Hegner saw - Advanced Machinery Inbox Search for all messages with label Inbox Remove label Inbox from this conversation Advanced Machinery Support <orders@advmachinery.com> 7:43 AM (38 minutes ago) to me Hi Paul, Thanks so much for reaching out about the Scroll Saw information. I'm here to help! I completely understand how the similarity in color could lead to some confusion. However, this particular Scroll Saw is not from Hegner, it's from a different manufacturer - which is Central Machinery. Hegner is made in Germany while the Central Machinery brand is manufactured in Taiwan as shown in the link provided. We appreciate your effort to clarify this information and if you have any other concerns, feel free to send us a message anytime. Have a great day ahead! Best, Advanced Machinery Customer Support" TAIrving and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote
