Читать книгу Scroll Saw Wooden Bowls, Revised & Expanded Edition - Carole Rothman - Страница 25

In the first edition of this book, I was clear in my preference for #9 Flying Dutchman blades, in reverse and ultra reverse tooth configurations. Although these are still appropriate choices, I’ve expanded my recommendation to include two blades made by Pegas, the Super Skip and the Modified Geometry, in the #7 size. These blades are such effective cutters that, depending on the wood, even a #5 could be used. The advantage of a smaller blade is its greater maneuverability and the option to use a smaller drill bit for the blade entry hole. I’d recommend trying the Pegas #7, in either configuration, as a starting point. Regardless of choice, be sure that the blade is tensioned fully to reduce the chance of deflection as you cut.
