SCROLL SAW BLADES

{Wo recommend these blade sizes for cutting our kits):

* FR440 #2/0 Skip Tooth Blades $3.7 5/Dozen

* FR443 #2 Skip Tooth Blades $3.75/Dozen

than a No. 2 blade from another manufacturer. Therefore, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following three descriptive criterion: teeth per inch, blade widthi, and blade thickness.

Teeth per inch (TPI)—As a general rule, it is advisable to have two or Ihree teeth in the material being cut at all times (see Fig. 3). For example, 1/8"-thick wood is best cuL with a blade having 16 to 24 TPI, 1/4" wood is best cut with 8 to 12 TPI, and so on.

Width—Wider blades are recommended for culling straight lines and large curves. Narrower blades are better suited for intricate cutting with sharp turns and tight curves {see Fig. 4).

Thickness—The thinner the blade, the more narrow the kerf or cut that is created. Narrow kerfs are required for cutting very intricate projects from thin materials, and also for cutting components that will be reassembled after sawing (such as puzzles, inlays, and marquetry). Wider kerfs are desirable for veining in leaves, defining silhouettes, , etc.

It's all up to you We hope this information will help you choose what scroll saw blade lo use for a particular project. Keep in mind thai personal preference plays an important role in selecting the "right" blade. Everyone saws differently and each person is at his or her own skill level. Some people love to work fast, and will therefore seek the most aggressive blades available; others are content to work more slowly, perhaps in an attempl to achieve perfection, and for them, an aggressive blade is not desired. The scroll saw you have, Lhe speed at which you cut and feed material into the blade—these and a host of other factors will ultimately determine which scroll saw blades you like the best. The main considerations are to work safely and to have fun! Happy sawing! li
