In theory but my experience of most couriers has not been good. Lost items I have sold, not recieved items posted etc.

Keep a eye out on Facebook marketplace as well , One on at the moment for £150
Badly damaged unfortunately  and in Wales. Worth keeping an eye open though thanks.

All the cheap ones seem to have the same problem of tilting the table to make angled cuts. It must make using them a bit awkward at times?

Thanks to another turners generosity I have now become the owner of a hegner saw. Can't believe the difference between it and the old one I had. My reason for wanting one was to make parts for a series that Mo and I are doing at the moment, something that proved impossible on the old one but the 'new one' cuts like a dream. Had to  have a play and see what it is like to use so did a couple of quick pieces. Never having done this sort of thig befores I am reasonably hopeful that I will be able to get the hang of it.

A  big thank you to my donor.

A very nice saw and some great pieces of work off of the first few cuts. From what I hear you will not be disappointed with the Hagner saw.

Thanks Derek. It is a vast difference over the old one I had. That was hard work and impossible to do anything fine. This one is so smooth and when I tried the test of a 20p piece on it it dodn't move at all so no vibration. Mostly it will be used in upcylcing furniture but I am going to try and incorporate into some turning somehow as well.
