Blades for a new scroller?


LarryEA

Recommended Posts

What blades would you have in a starter kit for a new scroller?

Two types of course:

1. Spiral

2. Flat

 

Flats (I seldom use spiral):

                              Width    thickness          Teeth  

        #  2/0            .022  x   .010                  33 TPI

        # 1                .026  x   .011                  28TPI

        #  3               .031  x   .013                  24 TPI

        # 5                .037  x   .015                  17 TPI

        

 Thats mine.

It depends on what kind of scroll sawing you plan to do.  I can see using spiral blades for fretwork but the surface of the cut on them is very rough and will require sanding, There are many other uses for a scroll saw including: Toy making, Intarsia, segmentation, inlay, lettering,  compound cutting and bowl making .I do not do fretwork...yet and do all the others listed and I do them all with Flying Dutchman Polar #5 blades.  #7 also works.

Ok I must be using a #4 maybe???18.5 TPI. The closest store that seems to support any kind of woodworking is a Lowes so maybe I should order a variety of blades online. I do have a spiral that my husband picked up for me :) but again still learning. I can definitely see the ease of using these with some fretwork but not for straight lines.
