Hi all and Happy Holidays: In your humble opinion, which scroll saw blade is the best for cutting 1/2 inch MDF? I bought a sheet yesterday and plan on cutting out puzzles. I know that Mike sells puzzle blades and I have some but are they OK to cut MDF and at what speed?

I will give the #5 a tryout with the MDF this weekend.

Do any of you have experience with or know reputability of the YoraHome Laser with CNC Router Engraver? I was checking out Ortur, and Yora kept popping up. Looks like a versatile combo to suppliment scrolling. Just looking for thoughts. https://yorahome.com/collections/cnc...oducts/yora-cn...
