PostalTom Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) 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?

HandyDan Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 I would pose that question in the scroll saw section too. Quote

Smallpatch Posted October 25, 2017 Report Posted October 25, 2017 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? Quote

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. Edited October 25, 2017 by PostalTom Updated my answer. Quote
Smallpatch Posted October 26, 2017 Report Posted October 26, 2017 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. Quote

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. Quote
