This is for Sharon when the she gets the new G4 saw. This is just a little project to test your eye sight and patience. Just look at it this way, the pattern only cost you a quarter, penny, dime or whatever you want. I must warn you that the coin does get hot enough to burn your fingers so you have to go slow. I used a new FD-RB 2/0 coin cutting blade Mike sent me to try out. I only sawed the Texas quarter today and it took me three blades The first two broke after high temp. Mike I apologize for waiting so long to try the blades. They do a really good job and cut better than a wood blade. Yes you can use a standard wood blade to cut coins also. Use a 2/0 or 3/0 wood blade and it will do fine. It is just a bit more agressive and seems a litter harder to control. Do not use a reverse cutting blade for coins.The FD-RB 2/0 coin cutting blades I think will work much better. The horse and Lincoln I cut with a wood blade. The Texas I used the new coin blade. I will have to order some more as I only have two new and one used left. Again thanks Mike for the samples, they are good blades for cutting coins. Some people turn minatures on a lathe, anybody that owns a scroll saw should try this. It is definately different than cutting wood. Have fun.
