#2/0 Scroll Saw Blades
#2/0 - .010" thick, 26 to 30 tpi, skip tooth scroll saw blades (12 per pack) are the
most durable, finest kerf, for the precise cutting of veneers in packet,
or contour cutting of marquetry. They can be used to cut up to 16 layers
of veneer at once in a good quality scroll saw such as an older model Powermatic or Delta Milwaukee 'spring top' scroll saw (my favorite). The
Eclipse (a new type of vertical travel saw), Hegner, Excalabur, Dewalt or
Delta scroll saw are my second choices. The reason that I like the older
spring top saws is that the blade has a perfectly vertical travel. This
allows one to precisely cut thick packets of veneer of up to 16 layers
with a minimum of saw kerf width, and be assured that you can take all the
interchangeable pieces of the veneer puzzle and assemble them back
together again for a perfect fit. The double arm or pivoting arm system
that most scroll saws possess have the blade moving front to back in a
slightly orbital fashion and usually have no blade backing guides for
precise cutting, but are still quite good for marquetry if properly used.
A momentary 'on/off' foot switch is very useful when using this saw for
intricate cutting, changing directions of the cut, and stopping the noise
when the blade brakes. (Schürch ®)
