A few weeks ago I asked about a starter saw. Thanks for all the replys. Many of the reviews I read were both hot & cold on each saw, save the Dewalt 788. It arrived yesterday, nice saw. I was very reluctant to spend that much, but now I'm happy with the buy.
My question is who is the dealer to buy blades from, and what to look for?

There are several good brands of blades around but I
prefer Olson. I'm putting together an order tomorrow
for Sloan's Woodshop. Take a look at his web site.
(www.sloanswoodshop.com) I've bought wood and acrylic
from him in the past. His prices on Olson blades seems
competitive. Buy them by the gross.

Check the ads in Creative Woodworks & Crafts and Scroll
Saw Woodworking & Crafts. Both magazines cater to
scrollers and the ads are informative.

Check Rick Hutcheson's web site for good scroll saw
blade information. It is important to learn the types
of blades available and how to match the different
types to your project. (www.scrollsaws.com)

Check Judy Gale Roberts' web site (www.intarsia.com)
They carry On Line blades. I've not tried them but
everything else they do is first class.

Look for a dealer that sells "Olson PGT (Precision Ground Tooth)
Blades". See:

Nice blades but very limited size and style.
