There are so many scroll saw blades to choose from that it makes it difficult to know what the differences truly are between the variations. I conducted a test of the most common types of scroll saw blades in order to determine for myself which blade is best.
My test is completely subjective because I’m a human being. Shocking, I know. But as a human, I have to use the blade and interpret the results. All blades were new when I used them. They were installed correctly into the saw. They were used to cut the same pattern on the same material. However, there are always going to be variables to account for when a person is using a blade. If my test resulted in your favorite blade not performing well it does not mean that you are using a bad blade, just like it does not mean I do not know how to use the blade. It simply means that you found the best blade for you on your projects.
