My Hegner - fighting with the blade clamps

[Marcellarius]

Found another saw that uses these clamps: Porter Cable Saw


Refering to the spare parts online order system they are Part-Nr. 98 on the Part Diagramm.
Order Number is
5140079-27 BLADE HOLDER ASSY.

costs 9.14$ each. Worth every cent. can be ordered direct online.

I see the bottom # is 97 on the part diagram, do you have the part number of that as well?

BTW, i see it's in back order......

Marcel,
what ever that is - it's supposed to cost 62.35$ !
Looks on the diagram pretty much the same, the price doesn't match.

You as a native European should check the Scheppach Website and order them there (if wanted of course!)

blade clamps @ Scheppach. They charge 10? each.

hey Torsten,
Thanks!
I might, I have an old saw which I might change then.
I'm not gone cut of anything of my hegner....  

again one clamp, this does give me the question if the top and bottom clamps are different?

[tux_linux]

no, they are the same. I use 2 of them, that makes it easy to change blades.

You will thing about modifying your Hegner  - but try 'em first on the other saw. You'll love them.

Update on my modifications:

The blade clamps are perfectly working. Kind of fun to change the blade now.

The bike quick release I mounted as a lever broke last night! I don't know why. No big action, it just felt like a broken blade and I was surprised to see the blade was fine.

I'll mount another one and see how that one performs. In general this also worked really well so far.

I guess you don't go to work on your bike anymore

*lol* That's too far anyway.

I actually had "some" bicycles in the past, I even have raced some mountain bike and road. So I had to have a bicycle shop and did build up a couple of racer's machines not just for myself.

But when we became a family it all ended (kind of) and now I have just about 3 bikes left.

Update!

Strange - but I had really problems with the replacement lever I used now. It was a usual Shimano XT Lever - standard in mountain biking.
I was cutting some key hangers and other small items, so I had #1 and #2/0 blades in use. I broke half a dozen of them, all at the wood (not at the clamps).

I now switched to another lever, which seems to work better. I don't know why. Might be better to adjust for the tension.

How about the quick clamp?

Can you say where/how you can buy them at around 10?? as I could not find the right page, and when I asked a UK supplier, I was told ?19 each, that's around $30!!!!!

I contacted Porter Cable, but they don't ship outside the US.

Well I bought the Scheppach clamps anyway. They cost a total of ?27 for one of the type Torsten fitted to the top, and a grotty casting for the bottom (which I won't use). To get Torsten's setup I would have to buy another of the same set of two. Not worth it.

Torsten, does your clamp swing freely? The one I got has a spring pin pressed in and the swinging movement is very stiff.
