Blade question

[Brokentone]

Have  any of you tried Pegas super skip blades for compound cutting? I need to order some blades and was wondering how these would perform, thank you for any help you can provide.

I have not tried them but a skip tooth blade is always recommended for compound cutting. Depending on thickness of your blank, I would go with. #3, 5 or 7. There is no reason they wouldn’t do the job.

All I use is pegas super skip. I love the control with them

Yes, the Pegas Super Skip will work.  If you would like to try some samples. Send me a P M.  We, ArtCrafters, sell Pegas.

Hi everybody,
sorry if I enter in this topic with a question that was a little off topic and perhaps obvious but looking at the photos of these blades It seems to me that they do not have a specific mounting orientation or I am wrong
thank you

Yes, there is a specific mounting orientation.  The blade faces to the front of the saw and the teeth pointing down.  It is sometimes hard to tell the direction of the teeth.  Run your finger along the blade.  Rough side up so the teeth are pointing down.

Ciao,

Sorry for this late reply but during the day I don't have many opportunities to follow the network.

First of all thank you very much for the advice and anyway after I read your email I remembered that I have a Pegas blade pack and then I checked what you told me and clearly I immediately understood what you told me, like I said It wasn’t easy for me to understand the possible orientation

I usually use FD UR # 3 or 5 and work with 3/4 thick pine, unfortunately I don't have much time to devote to this hobby and even if I don't participate much in the forum I am always amazed at what you guys are capable of doing.

Thanks again

Angelo
