Why HEGNER Precision Scroll Saws are considered the most valuable and desirable scroll saws available today!
For over twenty-five years, HEGNER Precision Scroll Saws have set the performance standard for modern, high-tension scroll saws. They are the most highly regarded (and most copied!) scroll saws in existence today.
- Easy setup is achieved through HEGNER's unique "Dual Dynamic Tensioning". First, it's easy to set blade tension with the comfortable, easy-to-reach knob. It's also possible to adjust tension even with the saw running at full speed, as compared to other saws that require you to stop the saw every time you want to adjust the tension. Finally, you have the HEGNER QuickLock Tension release System on the two most popular models, the 18" and 22" saws. Once you've selected a tension setting, QuickLock allows you to release and reset the tension in seconds with NO adjustment needed. And, unlike other quick-tensioning mechanisms, the HEGNER design does not overstress the blade by using an eccentric cam, nor do we rely on metal-to-metal contact which causes sticking over time.
- Only HEGNER saws provide a fully slotted table for fast blade changing and easy “inside “ cuts. Also, HEGNER saws use the unique HEGNER Blade Clamps on the bottom blade end, which makes for easy interchanging of blades without the use of tools. Finally, our two most popular models, the 18" and 22" saws, include the QuickLock tension release system , which makes re-attaching, replacing, or swapping blades equally fast and easy.
- HEGNER dependability is unmatched, from the oversized induction motor to the all-steel tensioning mechanism. Despite having the highest use factor of any scroll saw sold, the average HEGNER saw requires less than $1 per year in parts! (This is calculated by adding up all of our parts sales, and dividing the total by the number of saws sold.) Should you require a part, you can order on line or toll-free by phone or fax, and have it delivered to your door as early as the next morning (expediting fees apply to express shipments). Regular shipping costs are often less than your cost to drive to a local store! If you need a machine to rely on, there's no better choice than HEGNER.
- Quality of cuts is ensured by numerous unique features, including cast I-beam arms for maximum frame strength; true parallel arm design which creates the ideal blade movement for consistently vertical workpiece edges; and superior, especially hardened blade holding hardware to maintain proper blade position. Check it out yourself: most saws move blades at odd angles to your work, resulting in obvious and inescapable problems. Only HEGNER saws address this, consistently producing superb, true cuts that make scrolling with a HEGNER so rewarding.
- HEGNER's frame geometry also provides for minimal blade friction and precise, on-the-spot turns, so you can follow any line with complete control. Not only does the blade move in a straight line to provide a true point of reference as you saw, but its motion makes it easier to STAY on the line, so you easily get the high-quality results you want and expect.
- In true old world tradition, HEGNER mainframe parts are crafted from cast iron to provide optimum strength and dampening characteristics, while the light alloy arms afford complete control with minimal reciprocating weight. As a result, HEGNER saws are known for being smooth and quiet. Just as important, their previously mentioned unique blade motion lifts the work less than a typical scroll saw, so using your HEGNER is more comfortable and relaxing than working with a common saw. You don't have to hold the work down as hard, so you can saw comfortably for hours, and the reduced friction also increases blade life as well as the quality of your cuts!
