You will get your M18-V Scroll Saw fully assembled with a hold-down arm, dual-tilt worktable, and sawdust management system. Your shipment will also include a pair of 0.7mm blade clamps mounted on the machine, one extra pair of 0.7mm blade clamps, 2 TuffScrews, one TuffWrench, one plastic table insert, a metal table insert installed on the machine, an assortment of 76 saw blades, and miscellaneous operating hardware.
Every Hegner Scroll Saw purchased from Advanced Machinery also now comes with a QuickClamp!
While the Standard Blade Clamps get the job done, the QuickClamp makes for a better experience with your Hegner Scroll Saw. The QuickClamp allows you to instantly align your blade in the same position every time. Since it doesn't require a wrench, it's super fast to release and re-tighten for speedy blade changes - especially useful for those frequent inside cuts! The easy-grip knurled aluminum knob places pressure directly on the blade for slip-free tightening. The QuickClamp is designed to be locked into place in the upper arm and accepts all blade sizes.
OPTIONAL $200 ADD-ON: Hegner Scroll Saw Stand (31.5")
Your Hegner can be used with or without the stand but we strongly encourage it. Most customers who purchased the saw without the stand eventually returned to us to buy the stand. It helps optimize the saw's performance and ensures smooth operation by absorbing the vibration inherent in scroll saws. Include this stand with your purchase so you can see for yourself!
The M18-V Scroll Saw will allow you to follow intricate patterns in a wide range of materials and thicknesses, make inside cuts and on-the-spot turns easily, and produce smooth edges without sanding. With the Hegner Variable Speed Scroll Saw, you can make the most complicated of woodworking projects possible.
“I craft duck signs, name plates and endless fretwork with my HEGNER 18”, and enjoy the quality needed for quality work. I always stress that the machine is the difference. I will not buy anything less.”
Daniel H, Toledo, Ohio
“The ease of blade changing and tension, the smoothness of cut and the many other features put this machine in a class of its own.”
Alain T., New Hyde Park, New York
The M18-V has patented blade holders, a unique arm geometry to keep the blade almost perfectly vertical at all times, a precision-engineered "arm flex", and a tension knob at the back of the upper arm allowing for easy blade tension adjustment. This leads to a more comfortable operation, less "chatter" and noise, and low stress on blades for a longer life.
This scroll saw is fitted with a variable speed induction motor enabling accurate speed changes from 400-1700 RPM. Other scroll saw machines do not have this broad of a speed range, making it very difficult to get a good finish. A Hegner Saw makes it easy to get the speed you need and end up with the finished product you deserve.
Many scroll saws are only 14" or 16" which really only allows you to cut through the center of a 32" piece of wood if you are lucky. This might not seem like a big deal, but the additional 2" on the best selling Hegner M18-V allows you to cut 36" pieces of wood and the additional 6" on the M22-V allows you to cut 44" pieces of wood. The M18-V allows you much more flexibility with the projects you can take on. The table can be adjusted up to a 45 degree angle on the M18-V for greater control over your work.
Standard on all Hegner Scroll Saws since 2013, the sawdust management system allows you to either blow air out or draw air in (when connected to a shop vac). You can change from blower to dust extractor in a matter of seconds.
The blower (blue tube) is above the table.
The extractor (red funnel) is underneath the table.
