Spiral Blades

[geneVG]

Which spiral blade do you use for what project?  I tryed to cut a deer head out but the blade I think was the wrong one.  Which one do you use for pictures?

FD New Spiral, 2/0 is what I use for doing my portraits.

Judy Hunter uses the Galaxy 2/0 spiral.

Get a dozen of several and try them out.

I use FD spirals of many sizes depending on the project. The larger you resize the project the bigger the blade can be. A good idea to try with spiral blades is to slow down your feed rate into the blade. Moving too fast will allow the blade to travel into unwanted territory.

What kind of problems were you having? What are the materials used (wood type, thickness, etc.)? Give some details. We may be able to help.

I don't use spirals to much. But when I do its usually FD #2.  GB is right, and the rule applies to any blade.. get a bunch and try them out. You will be amazed at the different feels of the different blades.
