It looks like Hawk Tools may be closing.

OUCH!

I guess that might make some new scroll saw decisions a little easier..., not necessarily better, just easier.

Man that is to bad. Now I'm wondering about replacement parts for all those that have their equipment. First it was Delta and now Hawk who's Next? Last year I considered a Hawk when I was looking for a new saw. Had I bought one I would now own two discontinued saws.

That's a crying shame. Tough economic times. Surely someone will buy their inventory so parts will be available. It's rough to see an American company with a quality product go under.

Lets hope that we don't lose any more scroll saw manufactures.

Oh that is sad news. I love my RBI Hawk vs220 and I was even thinking about upgrading to a newer Hawk one day. I guess that won't happen now. I will need to consider something different.

The writing has been on the wall. I hope people like Ron haven't suffered any financial loss.

I want to cry
