Pegas MG Blades

[Dan]

I finally drove to Woodcraft to pick up some Pegas Modified Geometry blades. I tested them out on a couple of cuts on poplar. OMG! These are faster (more aggressive) than other blades. I am cutting a stand-up puzzle of 3/4" and it cuts very well. It's fast, just a little more patience is needed for control. It cuts very clean, both top and bottom. I don't know about the durability yet, but so far I love them. I was using a FD-UR5. The Pegas #3 Modified Geometry is just 0.01" thinner but it feels very nice and the kerf still works for these puzzles. For all who recommended them, A BIG THANK YOU!

I bought a pack the other day myself from WC to try out. They cost a little more at, $4.99 a pack, but I tried them on 3/4" BB and the cut like a champ! They cut straight, didn't have to push the stock at an angle, pushed straight in, which was nice! I will be buying more of them!

Think I will try some out when I have to order blades next time.  Thanks for the input.

I'm die hard FD person too.I*'ve had my sites on Pegasus blades for 9 years but never bought any.The ad says very sharp.Now I'm hearing lots more go things from members about them.I want very hard steel ,aggressive and reverse tooth so less sanding on the bottom.Looks li,ke these fill the bill.

I'm a big fan of the modified geometry blades. You can get them much cheaper on-line. My FD blades are now dust collectors instead of dust makers.

Ike,

 

You might try other Pegas blades for fretwork. The Pegas modified geometry blades are the best I've used for cutting puzzles from 3/4" hardwoods.

I use both Pegas MG and FD blades.. while I was a die hard FD blade user a year ago.. when ordering some Pegas sample packs I found I really like Pegas blades.. I do still use FD blades as well but not as much... Pegas are a fast aggressive cutting blade.. while I typically stack cut most all work I do.. If there is a project that isn't being stack cut.. I definitely go to the FD-UR blades..

That all said.. in the less aggressive cutting Hawk saw I use exclusively Pegas.. but with the aggressive cutting DeWalt.. I do occasionally go to the stack of FD blades.. as stated above..
