stoney Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Well I was getting low on spiral blades so I ordered some Olsen flat end spirals. I have been using Flying Dutchman new spirals for quite a while but thought I would try some flat ended ones. Much to my surprise when I tried installing one I found that the ends of the blade were not parallel to each other. Yes they do save a little time not having to untwist the ends of the blade but you still have to do an adjustment to align the two ends. I guess I was expecting to just grab a blade and stick it in the blade holders tension it a go to work. I guess I'll just go back to the FD new spirals I like them much better anyhow they cut much smoother and are easier to control.

Dan Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Isn't it funny how we can send a man to the moon but we can't make Spiral blades with parallel, flat ends. Tommy Johnson and SCROLLSAW703 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
