Hi. I just purchased a Hawk G4 scroll saw. It has a 26″ throat. I am wondering if anyone has purchased this machine and would appreciate any comments. I looked at the Hawk (RBI) (American Made) and the Hegner (German made). In comparing both I thought that the Hawk ran smoother. The G4 has some nice features and the latest technology. I am just looking for some comments and your opnionss concerning this purchase. Just hope i did the right thing. I got the magnifying light and the foot pedal.
thanks. jt

hi. do you think this is a good scroll saw? I am kind of worried as i didn't really do any research on it as i didn't plan on buying one. impulse buy.
Yes, it is a good saw. I don't have one, but I still know that it is a very fine tool, upper upper end. Be happy.
Post #2 was my tongue-in-cheek way of say "Ya got a good one!"
There are a few scroll saw forums on the internet. Just Woodworking.com used to be very active, but has slowed down since the magazine went belly-up. Still, it's a good place to go and get advice, and search the archives.
MSN Groups has several, and I think the portrait group probably has quite a few pros participating. Here's the list of MSN groups.
Scroll Saw WorkShop Magazine has it's own forum, click here.
