Blade Information
Important issues regarding blade perfor-
mance:
•
Scroll saw blades wear out and must be
replaced frequently. Typically a blade will
stay sharp anywhere from
depending on how the blade is used and
what type of material is being cut.
•
Best cutting results will be achieved when
cutting material less than 1" thick.
•
When cutting material thicker than 1", use a
very slow feed rate.
•
Blades will become dull quickly whenever
making cuts in plywood, hardwoods, and
laminates.
•
Exerting excessive side pressure on the
blade greatly increases the chance of blade
breakage.
