I have that router and have used it for many years. With the dovetail fixture included (a $124.00 value), I think its a pretty good deal. One of the things that people don't realize is that this tool will outlast several of the cheaper brands (voice of experience). Collets do wear out. With good tools, they're replaceable. Cheap tools require the whole motor to be replaced. The added advantage is accessories like the D handle, a spare base for a table install, etc. are generally available. I think you'll be happy with it.

I have this router and I like it. I have it mounted in my bench and use it to round over edges of much of my work. I run it through a Harbor Freight speed controler.

I periodically get asked if I am still making the kits. The answer is yes.
I get a private message on the forum to which I reply but suspect new people to the forum don't check for a response.
So please, if you have sent me a PM check for a response.
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.
