This video is for beginning scroll saw users. Experienced scrollers will probably not find any new information here.

In this video, I will be cutting 4 straight lines using 4 different scroll saw blades on 2 different kinds of wood (8 lines total). The intention is to compare the cut quality of each of the 4 blades.

This video is a kind of follow-up to a recent video that I ended by asking: "What blade profile should I use?" (    • 120. Are spiral blades harder to cont...   at the 31:50 mark) As a beginning scroller myself, I am trying out several kinds of scroll saw blades to gain some experience and see if I have a preference.

I will be using a 3/4" thick piece of pine and a 5/8" thick piece of particle board as my test pieces. I choose pine and particle board because I have a lot of reclaimed pieces of both and expect to be making various projects from those materials.

The 4 scroll saw blades that I am using include:
1) a pin end with the typical blade profile
2) a spiral blade
3) a skipped tooth blade
4) a skipped tooth reverse blade

At the end of the video, I show the cuts made in both the pine and particle board and tell you which blade I think cut the best.
