without backtracking any curve that has a radius as much as or more than is shown
on the chart. For example: a 3/16" blade will cut a circle with a 5/16" radius or a 5/8"
diameter. To test if a 3/16" blade would work for a particular curve, place a dime
(roughly 5/8") over the pattern. The 3/16" blade can cut a curve bigger than the
dime, but not smaller. You can use everyday items such as coins or a pencil to
determine which blade to use. A quarter is the size of the tightest cut that can be
made with a 1/4" blade. A dime is the size of the tightest curve that can be cut with a
3/16" blade. A pencil eraser is the size of the tightest turn that you can make with a
1/8" blade. After a while you won't even need an object to size the possible curve of
a blade because you will have become familiar with this process. There are options
to matching the blade to the smallest curve pattern. If there is only one very tight cut,
it may be best to use a turning hole, a relief cut, successive passes or to change the
blade. If you have a lot of cutting to do, you can use a wider blade for the bigger
curves and then switch to a narrower blade for the tighter curves. Changing the
blades can often save cutting and finish time. The chart above is only a rough guide
and is not to scale, but from the information you can construct your own guide.
