FD Ultra Reverse blades

[JJammo1]

Got my blades and tried out today.  I gotta say they are awesome!  I'll never use anything else again.  Had to slow down a bit to keep from over cutting so takes a little getting use to.   If you havn't tried them, you really should.  Also the service from Mikes is outstanding.  Need blades quick, get'em there.  Also there is a little groove at the top of the blade to instantly know it's the top.  If you do fretwork these are a must.

Flying Dutchman blades are the only blades I use plus it is nice to talk to Mike. I am glad you gave them a try.

Hey JJ, I use the Ultra Reverse blades too and love them. The only problem is that they don't come in #0/2. So I still use Olsen 0/2R's for very small cuts.

I got the #1 since there isn't a 0/2 and it worked better to me.  I used 0/2 before these. Not anymore.

I ordered the assortment pack from Mike (per) his advice, and hes a pleasure to talk with!!!

dgman, you said

My experience has been that Olsen blades are a lot larger in any nominal size than are FDs.  Could be that I chose the wrong style or whatever.  In any event, I find both Olsen and FD both quite useful, but would appreciate any further insight you may have.

Terry, I find just the opposite. The FD UR1 is as big as an Olsen #2R. The UR1 can't do as fine a cut as the Olsen 0/2R, or at least for me. Don't get my wrong, I love the FD UR blades, but I still have to use an Olsen 0/2R when I need a finer Blade.

I have found that the same blade type. Cuts different. I have had a blade in the saw. Broke it and put a new blade in and it felt like it cuts different? Am I nuts or can this happen. I know I may still be nuts..

I had always used the #2 reverse by Olsen.  However, I have converted to using a #3 Ultra Reverse and love them.  Somewhere on here I posted a couple of comparison pictures.  Do not know where they be at now.  LOL.  You might want to dig through the posts and maybe you can find them.

I know what you are saying. Sometimes when you have been cuttting with the same blade for awhile and get used to it, then change to a new one of the same number and make, it feels different.
I think that it is one or two things that do it. First, you now know what a SHARP blade can do for you.    The old one was getting dull but you didn't notice that it was getting harder to push because it was easier to control and it was so gradual of a change, you just got used to it.    The other thing that I have noticed, especially when doing alot of corners and tight turns, you can twist the blade in a way that makes it want to drift right or left, and again it is such a slow and slight change that it is easy to get use to. So you keep cutting until it breaks!
NOW you have to retrain yourself using a new sharp, untwisted blade to let the blade just do it's work!    But, not to worry, you will soon twist that blade and dull it until it feels like the old one.     Untill it breaks........

    I use the Olson Mach Speed #5R to do most of my cutting. I also have the #2R when I need it. The only reason I haven't used Fd Blades, is I can get the Olsons here locally. Sorry Mike. I promise I'll call you one of these days. Dave

 :)I have been using the FDUR blades for some time now and wouldn't use anything else. Mike is great, he will call you if he is in doubt about your order. Keep up the wonderful work Mike
