SCROLL SAW BLADE CHART

This chart refers to the blades offered by Advanced Machinery Imports, and blades shown are actual size. If you do not use the same brand, simply hold your blade up to the chart for a size comparison. This is just a sampling of the many blades available—if you are interested in blades other than those shown here, write to Advanced Machinery Imports at P. O. Box 312, New Castle, DE J 9720for a catalog.

Double tooth blades: I prefer these blades as they arc quieter than their single tooth counterparts, with less tear-out.

AP03 AP05 AP07 AP09

Standard blades: These comc in sizes from 2/0 to 11. You may prefer these to double tooth blades, as it is really a matter of personal preference. PB03 PB05 PB07 PB09 PB11

Other types of blades

Precision ground blades-. These have widely spaced

teeth and are very aggressive. Reverse teeth eliminate bottom chip-out, very good for hardwood and thicker soft woods.

Reverse tooth blades: Standard blades with reverse teeth to reduce tear-out. Great for cutting plywood.

Jeweler's blades: Specifically designed for cutting metal. The teeth are very close and are tempered.

Diamond blades: Diamond encrusted wire; mandatory for cutting glass and stone.

As I noted above, this chart represents a few of the blades that 1 use which are available from Advanced Machinery Imports. There arc, of course, many other sources for blades, so by all means scan through the ads in this publication for other sources. I have provided you with these guidelines since so many readers have sent in questions about blades and their sizes. This will at least give you something for comparison.
