Scroll Saws: Hegner vs. all the others
 

I have tried several scroll saws and the hegner is hands down the best one, no vibration, smooth cuts, easy to change blades and travels well with easy, quick setup. I have the 22 inch and have had it for 15 year, I decided to try the Excalibur EX-21, I hate it so much vibration, what a waste of money. The RBI Hawk is another good one, but for me I am selling my excalibur and buying a new Hegner.

Yeah, for more than a grand and a half, one would think it would be a
decent tool.

FWIW there is a $3K difference of improvement when going from a Delta
scroll saw to a $1.5K Henger. ;~) Some times the price is worth it.

What about others, like King or Jet?

They are probably $3K better than the Delta too. ;~)

If I was looking at scroll saws I would start with the DeWalt.
