Double Tooth

preferred by many scroll saw users. They are easy to
distinguish form our regular skip tooth blades as they
have two teeth together followed by a space for fast chip
removal. The Double Skip tooth blades cut fast, leaving
clean edges in wood & work great in all types of
plastics.
The new DT432 is considered the best blade for cutting
wood.

General
Blade Use Notes
The
blade is the single most important component of a scroll
saw! Without using the right blade for the job, the
results won't be worth anything. remember that one or two
common blades will not be enough for a novice, much less
the accomplished scroller.
All the
carbon steel wire product produced in the U.S. today
either comes from an open hearth or electric furnaces. The
typical USA Acid Bessemer Process is what produces the
superior quality grades of steel.
Virtually all scroll saw and similar blades
are manufactured from a non-resulphurized high carbon
steel.

The
Right Blade for The Right Job
Contrary
to numerous opinions, just like mine, it is the end result
of what one achieves with the scroll saw that counts. I am
repeatedly asked, "What blade should I use?" There are
almost too many variables to consider in order to give a
ready answer! The saw itself is not so important - whether
it's an Excalibur, a Hegner, Delta, RBI Hawk, or an
import. What is important is the blade tension, the feed
rate, your sensitivity, the speed (SPM), and the type of
material you're cutting. There's no "keeping up with the
Joneses" attitude that can be applied here.

Special Blade And Cutting Hints
-
Blades
should have a minimum of three teeth per material
thickness
-
Cutting
speeds may be increased using blades with larger teeth
per inch and slower cutting speed
-
Finer
(smoother) cuts may be achieved with blades with more
teeth per inch and slower cutting speed
-
When
cutting soft materials, use a blade with large teeth;
hard materials are cut best with fine teeth.
-
If
saw burns or melts material when cutting, either slow
the cutting speed pr increase the blade size (blades
with more teeth).
-
And for additional tips on burns, use 2"
clear 3M packing tape, either envelop or simply place
the tape over or under your pattern that you're about to
cut. Believe me, you won't believe your eyes at the
results! Use this method with all Hard and Exotic woods.
