FAQs
What types of materials can these blades cut?
These skip tooth blades are versatile and work well on wood, plastics, and other softer materials. They are particularly effective on thicker stock or when fast cutting and good chip clearance are needed.
How many of each blade type are included?
The SA4950 assortment card includes 6 each of SA4110, SA4120, and SA4240 skip tooth blades, for a total of 18 blades.
Are these blades suitable for metal?
These blades are primarily designed for wood and plastics. They are not recommended for cutting metal.
How do I choose the right blade from the assortment?
Consider the thickness of your material and the desired cut quality. Thinner blades with finer teeth are for more detailed work, while wider blades with more space between teeth (skip tooth) offer faster cutting and better chip clearance on thicker materials.
What makes skip tooth blades different from standard blades?
Skip tooth blades have wider spacing between the teeth and a larger gullet (the space between teeth). This design improves chip clearance, reduces heat buildup, and prevents clogging, especially in softer materials or thicker stock.
Where are these blades manufactured?
These Olson scroll blades are manufactured by Shesto Ltd.
What is the weight of this product?
The product weighs approximately 0.05 Pounds.
Troubleshooting
Blade breaking prematurely
Ensure the blade is properly tensioned in the scroll saw. Avoid forcing the material; let the blade do the cutting. Check if the correct blade type is being used for the material and cut complexity.
Rough or uneven cuts
Verify the blade is sharp and free from damage. Ensure the correct blade from the assortment is selected for the material. Check that the material is securely held and that the saw's hold-down foot is functioning correctly.
Blade binding or clogging
The skip tooth design should help, but if clogging occurs, ensure you are using the appropriate blade size for the material thickness. Reduce cutting speed slightly and allow the blade to clear chips more effectively. Keep the dust collection system on your scroll saw functioning.
