started scrolling my F-15 pattern today this is what I got done so far and its very dicey I am going to have to modify the pattern some as you'll see from the pictures, the tail is just way to fragile around the exhaust area and I realized to late the one part of the tail has 0nly 1 tiny holding part, I cut it from 1/4 baltic birch instaed of 1/8 as I wanted to give it some extra strength but I think it would look better with the 1/8 as I think it has to much depth in the cut out areas

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I'm sure it's going to be spectacular when it's finished.

You may already know this but here 'tis anyway.
Daryl, a word of caution regarding your pattern. I can almost duplicate it by copying the posted image into my graphics program. If you want to protect your work, you need to put a little more slant when you photograph the pattern to make it more difficult to simply copy.
The weak areas you point out may be acceptable if cut properly. By that I mean carefully planning where to cut first. Cutting around the weak point first can relieve stress and vibration on that area when cutting the remainder of that area. The final cutting can be (should be) glued to a backer that will provide extra stability. Sometimes you may need to sacrifice part of the image to increase stability of the cutting. You might consider bringing the left side of the pattern in to add a bridge to the lower most tail fin.Last edited by MikeDingas; 01-28-2007, 08:29 PM.Mike

It's an awesome pattern. Don't forget to copyright it!! Don't want to make anyone else money when it should be yours.

Reply to Hegnerby RolfThe Hegner like some other saws have a sweet spot or not so sweet spot where they may vibrate. I know they need to have a solid footing.
When we were younger (2005) we used to bring our saws to our club meeting in an old barn with wooden floors. The seasoned scrollers all had Hegners. The rest...-

Reply to Eccentric adjustmentby RolfI assume you are talking about changing the stroke length. Looking at the manual it says you can shorten it for cutting thin wood and or metal. I have never known anyone that did that. We have several Hegner owners in our club. I am not one of them.

Reply to Hegnerby Dave56Has anyone replaced the eccentric on the Hegner scroll saw or made any adjustments to this part.
I bought an used Hegner m22 and it vibrates at about 3/4 speed. Maybe I'm just over thinking this problem, last year I purchased a multi cut 3/25 inch Hegner it is a single speed and it runs like a...-
