  • Carving Tool

    On many of the band saw boxes I make, I need to do some carving. I have been using chisels and my pocket knife, but I thought I would order a couple or maybe only one carving tool. Can anyone give me pointers on what I should be looking for...

    I'd suggest you check out Fox Chapel's Wood Carving forum at

    Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board.

    There are several topics there about selecting tools for exactly what you are seeking to do, and the folks there are just as friendly and helpful as our scroll saw folks. Give it a try.

      I do some carving on my intarsia and inlay projects. I find I use about three, of the 20+ gouges I have, the most. You do not need a whole set of gouges. I now have a "Mastercarver" set with a mini jackhammer that makes the carving easier. It comes with just a few gouges. I use the "V" tool the most.

        The 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...

        I 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.

        Has 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...
