Blade Speed; Blade Selection - Woodstock Shop Fox W1870 Owner's Manual

Blade.Speed
The variable-speed dial shown in Figure.23.adjusts the
blade speed between 550–1650 SPM (strokes per minute).
To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected fast speed
at startup, always rotate the variable-speed dial to its
slowest setting when starting/stopping the scroll saw.
Scroll saw blades are classified as either "pin-end" (mounting pins in the ends of the blade) or "plain end"
(no pins). The lade included with your scroll saw is a "pin-end" blade. However, the W1870 can use "plain
end" blades using the included adapters.
The.typical.format.for.blade.identification.is:
Teeth Per Inch Width Thickness Strokes Per Minute
10 TPI 0.110"
15 TPI 0.110"
18 TPI 0.095"
Note:.There may be other numbers or letters that have meaning for a particular type of blade. Always
refer to the manufacturer's technical data for a complete explanation when choosing a scroll saw blade.
