FD #5 Ultra Reverse


Rockytime

I really like the fact that they crimp the top of blades to make it easy to see which way is up.  Little things like that show that someone at the manufacturer is using the product and/or thinking of customer  usability.

While cutting 1" (actually 3/4") pine I have been using FD #5 ultra reverse blades. I really like them. Question, is there a top and bottom or are both ends the same? Is there a correct or incorrect way to place them in the blade holders?

Every once in a while i'll put the blade in upside down .Don't get me started with bad habits ,lol

You can also run your fingers lightly up and down the blade to see if the the teeth are going down. The teeth should be pointing down.

Don, you can't do that with the UR blades as they have two teeth pointing down and one up the whole lenght of the blade. You can't feel which is up or down.That is why they place the crimp on the top of the blade!

I won't tell you how I know this, because I don't want to embarrass anyone.  Unless it's a spiral blade, if you put the blade in backward it doesn't cut very well.

 

Something like pulling a this kind of stunt is also one of the causes of baldness.  You find yourself hitting your forehead with the palm of your hand for being so stupid.  :sad:
