Title: Ryobi 5 in. Plain-End Scroll Saw Blades Assortment
Post by: Mike the Termite on February 17, 2013, 04:07:50 am
Have a change to get these at a really good rate, any good?
Ryobi 5 in. Plain-End Scroll Saw Blades Assortment (each is 36-Pack) Model # A28SC12. For scroll saws that take a 5 in. plain-end blade. Made of high-carbon steel. Assortment of tooth designs helps tackle most common scroll-saw applications. 12 blades each with 11.5, 12.5 and 41 teeth per inch.

I started with those and once I tried the Olson, I never bought them again.  I use an assortment of Olson and Flying Dutchman blades only.

I now only use Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse blades from MikesWorkshop - you just can't beat the quality (or the service fron Mike)

I found this. If this is the offer you're looking at, it's no bargain. These are way more expensive than what you need to spend. These are $4.50 per dozen, the FD blades are high quality blades that average about $3.00 per dozen.

Personally, I wouldn't do it.  I've tried the Ryobi blades in a pinch, and the cut quality just isn't there.  As others have said, get some Flying Dutchman blades through Mike, you won't be sorry!  If you can't wait the few days it'll take for them to get to you, pick up a package of Olson blades at your local hardware store (most Ace stores carry them).  Those will do until your FDs arrive!  JMHO

I use bostitch blades from lowes and like them, they  cut good and last a decent time, I tried some cheap skil blades and they were awful.
