BLADE SELECTION
Pinned Blade
Pinless Blade
This Scroll Saw uses both Pinned and Non Pinned
133mm (5”) length blades, with a wide variety of blade
thickness’s and widths.
The type of material and intricacies of cutting operations
will determine the number of teeth per inch.
Always select the narrowest blades for intricate (tight
radius and curves) curve cutting and the widest blades
for straight and large curve cutting operations.
The following table represents suggestions for various
materials.
This table is an example, but practice and your own
personal preference will be the best selection method.
When choosing a blade, use very fine, narrow blades to
scroll cut in thin wood 1/4” thick or less.
Use wider blades for thicker materials but this will
reduce the ability to cut tight curves.
NOTE: Thinner blades will have more possibilities for
blade deflection when cutting angles are not
perpendicular to the table.
