Gene Howe Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Just finishing the cuts in 3/4+ red oak abstract nativity scene. Using a #7 niqua Ultra. Originally, started with a #9 Pegus. For some reason, none of my stock of 9s wanted to cooperate. They were even slower than the 7s and much harder to keep to the line for this novice. red river, Scrappile, OCtoolguy and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 I use a skip tooth blade fir cutting 3/4" material. I would not use a reverse tooth blade as they cut much slower. MarieC, OCtoolguy and Gene Howe 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 Gene, a long while back, I was trying to cut a 3-D table sitter for my wife. I was using some 1 3/4" fir that I had laying around. It was more of a practice thing so I was using junk wood. I was having a terrible time cutting it. When I posted my woes I was told to get some skip tooth or super skip tooth blades. So I ordered a gross of them from Denny. What a difference they made. They clear the kerf of the built-up dust so much better and as Larry said, you don't need or want the reverse teeth on these cuts. I did still use #5 blades but in the super skips instead. danny, BadBob and Gene Howe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
