Puzzle blade direction question.

Recommended Posts

I'm going to start cutting our my first freehand picture jigsaw puzzle. There won't be anything on top of the picture and I know that the blade needs to cut on the down stroke so I don't tear the picture. Does someone have a picture of what the blade should look like for this. This picture is 11x17 and it is on 1/4" BB plywood and I will be using the FD Superior Puzzle Blade.  Thank you all in advance. Here is a copy of the picture I will be cutting out.

Those blades are so small I'm not sure you'll see the teeth to know what way is down anyway.. I've cut a few of these jigsaw puzzles several years ago.. What I do is run my finger on the blade to see what way the teeth are. running the finger down the teeth in both directions to see what way is rough feeling..  Those FD puzzle blades are awesome for doing these puzzles..

Yes the down stroke would be your cutting stroke so the teeth need to face downward. or holding the blade at the top and run your finger up from the bottom would be he rough way.. Hope that made sense LOL I get myself confused talking about it :) I just do it naturally.. but thinking about it gets me confused. LOL
