Blade selection
This scroll saw accepts both pin-end (pinned) and plain-end (pinless) 5"-long blades, with a
wide variety of blade thicknesses and widths. The type of material and intricacies of cutting
operations will determine the number of teeth per inch. Always select the narrowest blades
for intricate (tight radius and curves) curve cutting and the widest blades for straight and large
curve cutting operations.
The following table represents suggestions for various materials. Use this table as an exam-
ple, but practice and your own personal preference will be the best selection method.
