Title: First use of spiral blades
Post by: yankeebum2 on February 23, 2011, 02:51:17 pm
Got my FD spiral blades the other day from Mike and couldn't wait to use them. Wow, it was a way different experience. Not sure of the designer. I believe it's Paul but I want to say thank you to that person. If i am wrong can someone please correct me and I can give kudos to the proper person. Thank you.

Made from 1/8 baltic birch ply. I stacked cut 2. left leave it unfinished in frame. Unfortunatly i did not take a picture of it when in the frame. My niece now has it hanging in her room.

That's cute!
I personally avoid spiral blades unless I'm cutting something too big to turn on the saw!  I've found I can be more precise using standard blades.  Always have a hard time keeping spirals "on the line".  You did well!

Spirals allow FREEDOM of expression!

Also known as , "wander where they damn well please if you are not used to them and they don't like straight lines!"

But those babies are essential if you do portraits or you would spin yourself crazy making the cits.

Nice Job

Welcome to Spirals...just bought a fresh gross of FD New Spiral 2/0!

Cute cutting Steve.. Good job on using the spirals... they can take a little getting used.  Keep practicing with em and it will become like 2nd nature.

looks good. I have some spirals in my blades box too - didn't try em yet  :-\

can't be Paul's pattern, because there is always his logo on the pattern - and I don't spot the logo here   ;D

Great job.  Spirals are just another tool in the tool box.  They are almost required for portrait work but many find them their blade of choice.

great job! I don't use spirals much, find it hard to stay on track. especially when making turns.

Good job on the project .....I hope the new blades keep working for you .....I'm not a fan of these kind of blades......

great job and good luck with the spirals... It seems that every time I use them I end up changing to regular blades unless it's a large project and then I have no choice...
