SELECTIONSELECTION CHARTCHART && TECHNICALTECHNICAL DATADATA
This Chart is a BASE for people who want to begin scrolling and don’t know which blade to select for their project. It is based on [1] the type of material to cut, i.e., wood, plastic, etc. [2] the thickness of it, [3] the pattern, [4] the expected finish or [5] the hole size to drill for inside cuts. With experience, scrollers will have their own opinions and their own preferences, which may be different from our recommendations. Experienced scrollers will look for more technical information, such as blade dimensions or the trace each blade will produce. This chart will help you find the best blade to complete a specific project. We wish you great pleasure with the Pégas® blades and invite you to share with us your comments: pé[email protected]; [email protected]. THE SWISS SCROLL SAWBLADES MANUFACTURED IN SWITZERLAND

SPIRAL (5"/130mm): The teeth are on 360° which allows sawing in each direc on. The work does not have to be turned to make cuts, so sharp inside corners can be created.
