Title: Blades
Post by: countryscroller on October 24, 2012, 09:46:02 am

I was wondering I just received some Flying Dutchman scroll saw blades and I ordered some Ultra Reverse. Does it matter what direction the blade goes since the teeth are reversed one after another.

The top of the blade has a little kink in it to show which way up it goes, when blunt you can reverse the blade and cut in a new area of the blade (Although I have found it slightly harder to follow the line accurately when reversed, but that might be me lol)

The bump or kink shows which way is up, but they are not designed to be put in upside down!

Hey Keefie

I use the ultra reverse too.  Want me to send you all of my used blades so you can "REVERSE" them!  LOL

Hey Thanks Keefie
I just ran to my shop and checked my ultra reverse blades and there it is! I had just been guessing til now but judging by my results must have been guessing right.  Haven't tried turning em over yet.  That will be my next expeirment. Thanks again.
