Scroll saw blades are classified as either "pin-end" (mounting pins in the ends of the blade) or "plain-end"
(no pins), as shown in Figure 17. The Model G0969 comes with one plain-end blade, and the scroll saw is
designed to accept only plain-end blades.
The typical format for blade identification is:
Teeth Per Inch Width Thickness
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.
