[BACKGROUND]
1) Bought a single speed Heigner for two hundred twelve year ago. Used it a little here, a little there.
2) Sold it a few months ago for four hundred, after finding the deal in "3," below.
3) Bought an RBI for one hundred. Liked it, but, almost immediately, missed features of the Heigner, like not having the table angle adjustment in front of the lower blade change mechanism. However, like the cheaper blade holder and the variable speed (great for a beginner).
4) Found a front tension, variable speed Hegner. Bought it.
5) Not disclosed in the ad was, the idiots who stored the Hegner for the teacher lost the bag of things with the saw, which included a foot pedal, the piano tuner, etc. We won't get into that the asses "storing it for her put it outside, in the Eastern Washington winters of Yakima (fortunately, the damage done was easily address, once I got it home).
Now to that latter problem, which foot pedal best serves a Hegner Multimax-18? I love that the RBI lets me ramp in to whatever speed I set on the dial, but I don't know what the Hegner wants.
Anyone got tips on other than on/off foot switches in the ten amp world? For that matter, any tips in general for parts. Been to https://advanced-machinery.com, but not having a lot of luck around their site.
