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.

must be able to revolve around a 360° pin without fracturing. then the blade must return
to its relaxed state and remain bent.

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.
