Reply to Spiral Blades - Tips & Tricks?by Jim McDonaldI have used some spirals on portrait style cuttings and while I don't hate them, I find my concentration level goes way up with them. If I am thinking 1/8" ahead with a flat blade, my interest seems to be about 1/32" with spirals.
Also, I am not a fan of the jagged edges inside the...-
