Juan Rodriguez Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I was wondering if any one has used or is using the Niqua scroll saw blades. I realize this is an objective topic, so any opinion you may have will be appreciated. Compare to any other blades? Thanks!

glenwood Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 I always have used Niqua blades since I started scrolling in 1995. Niqua also make the Flying Dutchman blades, Mike used that as his trademark when he imported them for the American Market. crupiea and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, Flying Dutchman is Niqua. I used them for years, but now I am a Pegas dealer, so I use Pegas blades. OCtoolguy, GrampaJim and FrankEV 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes, I've always used them. Easier to get hold of here in the UK, never had a problem and very rarely break. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzleguy Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 Yes I've used them quite a bit as well as Olsen and Pegas . some saws like one blade over another -especially my Eclipse saws ( they are so finicky ) OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Pegas blades and am very pleased with them. I am a relatively newcomer to the hobby, bought my scroll saw a year and a half ago along with a gross of each of my preferred blades and still have plenty. So, I have not yet had cause to try the Niqua blades. If you search this forum for discussion about blades you will find much commentary. Niqua (aka Flying Dutchman) and Pegas get lots of good comments. By the way, you usually get the best price when you buy them by the gross.

You are right about the gross price, but I also list a 3 dozen/pack Pegas repackaged, and the price is the same per dozen price as the gross price.

old sarge Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I had never heard of the Niqua brand. So I found a write-up and blog with some comparison photos (Flying Dutchman tho and not Niqua). Great to gain new knowledge.

fredfret Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I believe sawbird is also a rebrand of niqua. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don watson Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I also use Niqua blades as it easier to obtain them in the UK. I still use Pegas or Olson if a need a special blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 I am a die hard Flying Dutchman (Niqua) user. I have tried the Pegas MGT and found they are more aggressive. It just takes getting used to it. I also find the Ultra reverse leave a cleaner cut on the interior verses the reverse that I bought. My conclusion is that the best blade is the one you get used to.

Frank Pellow Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Like Don, my go-to Regular blades are Flying Dutchman (Niqua) Ultra Re verse blades. But, I prefer the Pegas brand of Spiral blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
