Hi all...
Technically, I am a long time scroller seeing as I've had my DeWalt 788 for more than seven years. In real life I'm pretty much a newbie.
When I bought my saw I managed to do a couple of patterns. But shortly after that, a lot of changes were happening in my life that kept me away from the saw - parents passing away within 5 years of each other. And a total of five foot surgeries within two years. And so all of this kept me away from the saw. But I'm happy to report that life has started to level out and I now am back at it.
Back when I first got my saw, Flying Dutchman seemed to be everyone's choice of blades. I now see that Pegas blades are popular. Is there really a lot of difference between FD and Pegas. Should I be making the change?
My go to blade has been the FD Ultra Reverse #5. I also use the UR #3 for smaller intricate cuts. I love cutting fretwork projects. If I were advised to make the change over to Pegas blades, which ones would be similar to the FD's that I'm using now? Or is there another type that would be even better for me? I'm beginning to get low on blades and will be making an order very soon and am in need of some guidance towards what I should be getting. Most of my projects are done with 1/2 birch or 1/2" plywood on occasion. But mostly birch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
