Title: Blade size
Post by: tmeyerabc on April 20, 2010, 02:01:45 pm

How do I determine the blade size once I have somehow lost the labeled plastic sleeve they were in. Is there a measurement I can do? Also is there a chart somewhere that shows what kind of blades I have. I have not done a lot of scrollsaw work and haven't organized my blades the way I should have. Thanks for any help.

Tom

I have a blade chart that explains much.  I can send you a copy via email if you send me your address, or just snail mail a copy.  Let me know.  You can email me at: gardenfever54@hotmail.com.

Tom, I don't have an answer to your problem, but it is important to keep your blades in seperate labeled containers. I keep mine in plastic tubes. I get mine from www.sloanswoodshop.com. I make a label of the blade size and type and attach it to the tube.

I made my blade holders from pvc pipe and labeled them.   I will post a picture later.

 Hi Tom,
If they are the FD blades, you can find it on my website.
If you scroll down to my picture you can see that I have a rack on the wall and also a carrousel with tubs.
Most use PVC pipe, like what was suggested.
