I have a question about scroll saw blade nomenclature.  I am doing a project that requires some scroll saw blade work, and the plans specify a #2 reverse tooth scroll saw blade.  I understand the reverse tooth, but what does the #2 signify?  I was looking at a scroll saw blade selection chart on the Olson blade web site, and every specification that I could imagine was listed on the chart, along with a Universal Number column.  Any ideas?

I would pose that question in the scroll saw section too.

This may help-

 I could help if I knew what you will be cutting. Hard wood or soft, and how thick is the wood to be cut.? Also does your saw take pinless blades?

I will be cutting walnut veneer spray-adhered to a 3/16" piece of walnut.  My saw takes pinless blades.

Thanks Dan.  I forgot we have a scroll saw section.

 

I posted this before I looked at Lew's response.  His link actually gave me the answer I was looking for.  But, thanks again for the reminder on the scroll saw section.

Updated my answer.

Since Lew got you what you needed I will suggest if you don't have a lot of learning on the scroll saw I would suggest the blades not have reverse teeth for it will want to kick the wood up as you are cutting.

That makes a lot of sense. I haven't done any scroll sawing in years, and very little then.  I'll go that route.  Thanks.
