General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Hardwood nightmare ....

If you ask 10 people you will get 10 different answers. This is what I do. If the piece is 1/2" or thicker and is a hard wood I use a #7 blade .It works for me but like I said everyone is different so try it. Some wrap the wood with packing tape to lubercate the blade to keep it cool.Try it on a scrap piece first. Good luck. Bobby

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Hegner Scroll Saw....

« on: January 05, 2011, 09:17:42 am »

I bought my Hegner in 2001 and would not trade it for any other saw. It is simply the best all around saw there is.I know a few other owners of this saw and have tried other saws and the like the Hegner the best.Will last a long time. I have the variable speed and that does make a difference. Bobby

Designer fire wood is not a bad thing. It adds chacter to your wood pile. Just make saw dust and be happy. Happy New Year. Bobby
