Olson Saw PG49802 Precision Ground Scroll Saw Blade

Top tier blades!

I've been using these for a couple weeks now on my Delta 40-560 scroll saw & they have been perfect! The cuts are smooth, steady & accurate on the wood types I've used it on (pine, cedar & oak) so far I've used a 12/8 & a 9/6 blade and both worked perfectly. I've only broken one during a blade change but, that was entirely my fault for being rough with it and allowing the blade to bend too far while loosening the allen screw. You can see a couple of the things I've cut out with them, the blades cut very well and are equally happy ripping through a piece quickly to get it to a manageable size as they are when taking your time to get a perfect, precise cut! I was previously using some of the cheap Ryobi pinned blades (the only ones they sell at Home Depot) by knocking the pins out, it worked just fine but after getting these blades and trying them out there's no comparison, the cuts they make are just far and away better! You can't go wrong with these blades!

The blades worked fine and are a good deal for the money. However, for the packaging, they have the a piece of accordion-folded paper "dividing" the 3 blade sizes in a single plastic package. So you spend the first 20 minutes with a micrometer trying to sort them. Easily solvable if they'd jist mark their blades at the top by color. I had considered 3 or even 2 stars, but the blades themselves are great.

Cutting with these is night & day better than any other blade (including other Olson's) I've ever used. Cuts fast and clean. In fact, I had to slow my Delta SS down 2 speeds due to quick, smooth cuts. So far, the appear to last 4-5 times longer than other, non-PGT blades from Olson & others. Due to fast, clean cut, maybe not the best for absolute newbies, but once you get the hang, going back to any other blade is like cutting steak with a butter knife! I love them!

Excellent product and quality, easy to install and was as expected.

Ok

made a big improvement in my scrolling skills . like unreal . cuts I struggled with soooo much easier .

I received my order for Olson Scroll lsaw blades which I have used in the pass. The order was received on time and packed in an paper envelope style pack. Upon opening the package and seeing the blades all mixed up in the pack. I had a bad- hard time sorting according to size and teeth per inch. My eyes are not as sharp as tyhey should cause I am 84 years old. I eanded up just putting the all together in a glass tube. I guess I will have to sort through as needed.
