Blade ?

Me. I use it, not exclusively, but rather sparingly.It, like every other blade out there, has its place. Its a great blade for cutting BBply 1/4th inch thick (or a couple layers of 1/8th inch). Its not a good choice of a blade though if your planning on cutting the 3/4th inch thick wooden standing animal puzzles and things of that nature.What do you have in mind???Dale w/ yella saws

Yeah, I agree with Dale. It's designed to be used with 1/4 (maybe even 5/16 or so) or thinner plywood. It's narrow kerf allows for very tight turns quickly. I get about 50 puzzle pieces out of BB before changing blades. With the 5-ply poplar I use most often, I can get three times that.

I, too, use the puzzle blades for 1/4" BB puzzles. For 3/4" standup puzzles, I use a #5 or #7 depending on the type of wood.

For me, the puzzle blade have too much drift. I prefer a 2/0 scroll reverse. My puzzle piece is tight and I've experienced a lot less drift. My 2/0 is for max 2 x 1/4" BB in stack. For a 4-5 stack cut, I use a #3 scroll reverse.
2/0, #1, #3 scroll reverse and 2/0 spiral are the only blade I have.
(oh...I have a strong FD-HD - Heavy-duty blade too ;-)

by JimernI dropped my subscription long ago, so maybe I should not chime in, but I dropped it mostly due to the pattern pull out.
I do not have a flat bed scanner, nor do I want one, so that is my issue.
But the result is that if I cut a pattern to scan, I have also cut the parts of...-

by Quartz43+1 on NC Scroller's suggestions. I would add that on appropriate patterns stop using the grey as it would make it easier to copy.
It says a lot if Fox Publishing does not comment on an issue like this. Even if they said they are aware that people have concerns and are looking into it...-
