Blades cutting like cutting butter.... :+}

sometimes [...] I use an old blade because the new ones are to aggressive.

I did so too, but lost control about the blade sizes of used blades in the last few weeks. I should organize the blades better.

you'r right, all old blades in one piece of tube, I lost cotrol to.

I have used the "crown tooth" style blades that cut in both directions and when it gets dull, I just take it out, flip it over (upside down) and have a new set of teeth at the cut line and the worn out teeth above. I double my mileage that way.

I cut mostly hardwoods and plywoods.  So when the blade is dull for cutting hardwood, I put it in a separate tube (labelled "old skip 2" for example).  Then when cutting stacked plywood, I will use the old blade because it is still sharp enough for ply for abit.

I have tried that too Roger, but I also found that when the blade did break which is most of the time, it broke where the old cutting area was and the blade tempered there.  I hate to have blades break.  I have a defibrillator next to my machine for when that happens.

One GREAT thing about that 'foot switch'!

When the blade breaks your natural reaction is to jump away and that shuts down the saw!!!

Chuck, I keep some 'paper product' and a change of underwear close by for when blades break!!!

Roger....  I have NEVER used the Crown Tooth blades.  Do they cut as smooth as the FD-UR's which leaves hardly NO fuzz on the bottom?
I really like your way of using them.  Look forward to ur reply.  Danny  :+}

when mine gets dull i toss them away and grab a new one it not worth using a dull blade you could slip and cut of a finger. a sharp blade is a safe blade got that everyone and steve good i hope you do too.

The only way you could cut off a finger on a scroll saw is if you purposely held your finger against the blade, and it would take quite a while to do it too!

unless you had a blade in the saw that was made for bones........

[dgman]

So, do you have blades that are designed to cut bones?
