Guys, I need to get a blade to cut some really small pieces of hobby sized wood. We are talking 1/8×1/8 or smaller. So I’m thinking it would have to be something with as many teeth as possible with as little rake as possible. I want to put this on my 14” Delta with a riser attached. Thanks for any thoughts. -- ***Pat*** Rookie woodworker looking for an education!!! |

1/8”? Many toofies and very much a turning blade. -- bill@magraphics.us |

I would cut something that small on my scroll saw with a zero clearance insert. |

Lenox carbon steel would work great but as mentioned, it might be easier to cut the pieces on the scroll saw As far as tooth configuration, anything that will keep approx three teeth in contact with the wood but you are cutting thin stock so that “rule” will be broken. I’ve used Lenox, and the blades from Suffolk Machinery (Timberwolf) for years and either will serve you well without breaking the bank. Are you doing scrolling work on these pieces and this is why you want a 1/8 inch blade? |

I’m with ‘crank49’ on this. Do you really need a power tool for cuts this tiny? Yep, an X-acto razor saw would be the right choice. and the piece you cut won’t end up inside the throat of your bandsaw or scrollsaw. -- Einstein: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

The razor knife is the best idea. I used to build doll houses and most of my cuts were done with a scripto blade and a metal straight edge. I remember building the staircase, those were the days. -- Failure does not stop me, it makes me try harder..... because I'm crazy. |
