I'm looking for some advice on spiral blades. I've used them only once with not so good results. However, I want to work at bettering my scroll saw skills.
I've recently purchased a plan that suggests spiral blades. So:
1. What are some basic tips for using spiral blades?
2. I believe I am going to use 1/4 inch curly cherry for this project. What speed(s) would you suggest I work at?
3. Size - Most of this project - a portrait of Christ - has pretty wide spaces to be cut out. What size spiral blade do you feel would be a good all around blade to use for this project? And finally, I've noticed that Olson has a spiral end and a flat end blade...suggestions?
Thank you for ANY help you can offer. I do plan on a lot of practicing before jumping into the actual piece, but I want to start out on the right foot.
