konafiend Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I generally use Olson #64502, Universal #5R, Width .038", Thickness .016", 13/7TPI Blade. The blade has a few reverse teeth at the bottom. Sometimes I use a # 3R for tighter work or a blade with slightly larger teeth with no reverse teeth for thicker/harder wood. With fretwork on 1/2 inch maple these blades don't seem to be working so well. I just ordered the Flying Dutchman assortment from Mike. Any suggestions?

Travis Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I don't use Olson, but if you had Flying Dutchman, I'd probably step up to a more aggressive blade like the #5 FD Scroll Reverse. A skip tooth blade might work well for you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfmoonCT Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I use Olson.. I have not done 1/2" maple, but I am regularly cutting 3/8" ash and I'm using a #2/0 scroll reverse blade with no issues. I did stack cutting of 1/4" maple last fall doing 2 in a stack and I used a #2 scroll reverse from Olson, and had no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
