Okay I just started my first real project yesterday. I got done cutting it out and I am not very happy with the results, lots of sanding to do. I have had my scroll saw (Harbor Freight) for about a year now and have only done a couple projects with it for some other hobbies. I am using one of the blades (pin type) that came with the saw, not even sure what it is but seems to be pretty coarse maybe 10-15 teeth per inch. I was cutting 1x material and the cuts don't seem as smooth as I thought they would be. I did just order some new regular blades today from Lesley's Patterns (Super Intro Pack) because I knew the pin blades could never do some of the more detailed work that I am planning. So to my question, how often do you change your blades, and how do you know when they are to dull to do the job you are doing.
Thanks,
Jeff
