Mikes Blades.

Praise the Lord. The blades finally arrived today from Mike's workshop, they are brilliant. I have a few more to try from the selection I received but very soon I shall be ordering a gross of each. Back to the scroll saw.

So the average was right then..

Lets see how long your blades from the other supplier take

Thanks Blister. Thanks DaveyP, your law of averages is spot on. You must have a degree in it. I wont be so bothered when i place the big order in a couple of weeks with Mike as I will have plenty to be going on with now. Hopefully the order from hobbies will be here tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest, wish i had ordered more tubes now to keep them all in. Gill reckons the Hobbies blades are the same as FD blades so that will be a bonus. I notice there is quite a saving by buying them by the gross from Mike. I am keen to try out his ultra reverse, he sent me a couple to try out. Thanks again.

Who ever said that the art of salesmanship was dead ..

In my humble opinion the UR blades are the best ever.

I don't believe the Hobbies "Niqua" blades are the same, I have both. I think it's the same company making them, though. The Niqua blades are nice but when you look at the teeth through a lens they are slightly less uniform and look less sharp. That's also how they feel in the saw. I use the Hobbies blades when I want a less aggressive cut, for example, when cutting very light aero plywood.
