Olson PG49802 Precision Ground Scroll Review

Made for my DeWalt 788. Never broken one! By the end of my project, they're definitely boring, but I'm keeping them. When I have about 5 dull blades I glue them between 2 thin strips of sandpaper and the dull blades become homemade sanding strips! Just a little tip to get more life out of them. Have fun scrolling. :) Edit: The price has gone up and the quality has gone down. $4 price increase and all blades will be shuffled in one compartment. Still good blades, but now they're almost the same…

So why 1 star? Well they were delivered almost unusable as the packaging does not allow identification of the blades. They were almost all mixed up when I received them. Maybe someone has already opened this package, but other than the possible stiffness of the blade, I don't know if I'm using #7 or #5. I hope I can at least identify #9. However, I've had other Olson blades and they always work well, but I didn't expect their packaging to actually make the blades work. mix together. Since the…

What I like best about these blades is that they stay sharp for a long time. They are also very sharp. I basically cut 1/4 of the blank down to 1 inch. I've used the smallest blade to cut the 3/4" cedar nameplates with no problems. You need to go slower, but with the smallest blade you don't really need to sand anything. The end grain remains rough, but the long grain shines alone of being ground from the blade to 320. I will never use any blades other than these. I have an old Ryobi scroll saw

So we haven't used it yet (we recently bought our spiral saw and are learning how to use it). However, I wanted to give a review because the packaging has a serious defect. The blades are separated by a cardboard accordion. When my blades arrived they were all mixed up in different compartments. Imagine how difficult it was to separate blades of different sizes when the differences were barely noticeable. In fact, I'm not sure I keep them in the appropriate containers (I bought test tubes for…

I've been using these on my Delta 40-560 scroll saw for a few weeks now and they are perfect! The cuts are smooth, stable, and accurate on the wood species I've used it on (pine, cedar, and oak). So far I've used 12/8 and 9/6 blades and both have worked great. I only broke one when changing the blade, but that was entirely my fault because I handled it roughly and bent the blade too much when loosening the Allen screw. You can see a few things I've cut with them, the blades cut very well and…
