In Response To: Tools: What Jig Saw Blades? (grant)

Hi Grant,

I use Bosch blades - they have a blade with the teeth raked in (rather than sticking out from the blade) which leaves fewer chips in the plywood. If you want the model number of the blades, I will post them later.

They work well.

A wooden boat builder put me onto the blades.

: I will finally start cutting some Okoume this week. Instead of investing in a
: new jig saw I thought I would start by buying some quality blades for my
: old Black and Decker. If that does not work then I can always spring for a
: new saw from my Santa money.

: Any suggestions on manufacturers and tooth count for 4mm and 3mm Okoume?
