Scroll Saw Blades

[Michael Moscicki]

Just got a Type 1 DW788 and while it came with 7 blades, I need some more blades. I will be getting FD blades, but not sure which ones I need. Is the assortment pack what I should get or maybe blades specific for my projects?

My projects:
1) Pinewood Derby Cars
2) Various decorative pieces out of most likely 1/4 Baltic Birch plywood as I hear that is the go to wood for the job

Everyone will have a favorite style and size to offer. These are my recommendations. For your soap box derby the #5 poplar blade will be hard to beat. For the BB plywood I would be using mostly #5 Ultra reverse blades.
