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.Don't worry about old age--It doesn't last that long

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.

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...-
