scrollsaw blades.

[mick70Participant @mick70]

any recommendations for for scrollsaw blades now i have this one sorted and working properly?

TPI useful as well

mainly for cutting branches up to 50mm into discs approx 5mm thick for pyrography projects for kids.

they will be dried before cutting.

blade length is 133mm if that makes difference

thanks.

After trying lots of different makes with varying results, I now only use Flying Dutchman blades. I get mine from the US, but because the blades are light the shipping cost is not too bad. Delivery is surprising quick too. Take a look at http://www.mikesworkshop.com. Lots of useful info even if you don’t buy from him.

Green wood will clog up the teeth in no time. Also how much clean up of the surface will you want to do before burning on to the wood. So go for a coarser toothed blade.

How long will you be leaving the branches before cutting as a rough guide it takes 1 year for every inch of thickness

If you have the use of a bandsaw then personally that would be my preferred option to cut them. Also another thing not to do with cutting is that as the wood dries depending on the wood it may all split. Grain is another factor when burning so check the branches to see if it is a close grained wood

I use quite a bit of green wood and also do a little pyrography
