Crown tooth and spiral blades are two of the most common specialized scroll saw blades. Similar to the reverse tooth design, a crown tooth blades cut both on the up and down stroke. Crown tooth blades are a top choice for extra-smooth and chip-free cuts in plastics.
Coarse (13 tpi), medium (17 tpi) and fine (25 tpi) blades are available. The coarse-toothed blade is a good choice for fast material removal, while the fine-toothed blade provides the best performance in densely figured wood or for leaving a finely grooved surface for veneering. The medium-toothed blade is a good general workhorse, offering a compromise between speed and tear-out prevention. Designed for our bevel-up planes, the blades come in three widths. The 1-3/4 blade is for our small bevel-up smooth plane and the 2 blade is for our low-angle smooth plane.
