General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: My Hawk is sick

« on: January 28, 2018, 10:40:27 pm »

Thanks Coffeepot, I am hoping those good folks down in Kansas can guide me in the right direction. I will spend my time on the lathe until I can get the parts for the Hawk. I still need a few things turned for the show as well.

I have been looking at other saws, just in case, I like the looks of the new Seyco at this point. I think the tilting head and the table cover would be nice additions to the shop. Still hoping though.

General Scroll Saw Talk / My Hawk is sick

« on: January 26, 2018, 11:28:48 pm »

Had some trouble with my Hawk today. The tensioning mechanism would not allow me to load a blade, had about a 1/2" between the blade end and the lower blade holder, after I had it in the upper blade holder. This is really the first problem I have had, other than a blade holder that wore out, so not complaining at all, it is a great saw.

I took the tensioning mechanism apart and compared my parts to the parts in the owners manual (amazing I still have it after 16 years and 2 moves). The parts I had removed did not match my diagram completely, so obviously it seems a couple of parts failed today. I will call Monday and see if we can talk to a service rep and figure out what I need and how to put everything back together when the new parts arrive. Until then, that new saw Steve has been using looks pretty sweet.

. I just know shipping will kill me though.

I have been working to get ready for a show the first weekend of March, may have to resort to my lathe to have some product.

Sounds like the foot switch to me. Have you tried blowing the dust out of it?

I recently purchased some Pegasus blades, number 2s. Price was reasonable, as I had just received some FD blades as well, #2, I wanted to compare them. I cut 2 puzzle projects with the Pegasus blades. I found I still preferred the FD. I still prefer Top Flite golf balls over Titleist though too. Perhaps had I used Pegasus from the gitgo the story would have been different. They are good blades, just not my favorite.
