Choice of Blade and Speed

Your scroll saw accepts a wide variety of 5” plain end and
pin end blades. As a general guide:

1. Use a finer tooth blade for cutting thin workpiece, when

a smoother cut is required for hard materials or when

using slower saw speeds.

2. Use a coarser tooth blade for cutting thicker work­

pieces, when making straight cuts, for medium to soft
materials or when using faster saw speeds.

3. Use a blade that will have at least 2 teeth in the mate­

rial at all times.

4. Use thin, narrow blades for tight radius work, and thic^

wide blades for large curves and straight cuts.

Listed below are examples of some blades and their intended uses:
