Some years ago I bought a Series of Scroll Saws for SWMBO including a 1200 dollar Hegner the one she favoured for ease of and handiest saw was a cheap Dremel that used a pinned blade because it was almost instant blade removal and refit for through hole use. The Hegner remains on a shelf in the Shipping Container to this day the paint peeled off over these yrs. Our Wood Guild has a few but never Hegner preferring to use reasonably priced others one member of the Scroll Saw group using anto fret techniques never owned a Hegner.. has won Australia wide plaudits and has won best in show for ever it seems. I agree with Neils assesment using the Hegner the quick change blocks are both an asset and a pain to find.
