Scroll Saw Blades FAQs

What are the different types of scroll saw blades?

Scroll saw blades come in several common styles — Skip Tooth, Double Tooth, Precision Milled, Reverse Tooth, Spiral, 2-Way Tooth, Thick-Material (Hook), and specialty metal-cutting blades. Each tooth pattern affects how fast the blade cuts, how tightly it turns, and how cleanly it finishes edges.

What are the best scroll saw blades for wood?

For general woodworking, Skip Tooth and Precision Milled Tooth blades are the most popular because they cut quickly while staying cool. Reverse Tooth and Double Tooth blades help reduce tear-out on plywood and give smoother finishes. Thick-material blades are best when cutting stock over ¾".

What scroll saw blade should I use for cutting metal?

For non-ferrous metals and jewelry work, use Jeweler’s Metal Cutting scroll saw blades — they use hardened alloys and fine tooth spacing designed specifically for metal. Regular wood blades (skip, double, reverse) are not recommended for metal.

What’s the difference between pinned, pinless, and pinned spiral scroll saw blades?

Most modern saws — including Hegner — use pinless blades, which allow tighter radius cuts and more blade options. Pinned blades are larger, easier to install, and common on entry-level saws, but they can’t handle very tight curves. Spiral blades are typically pinless, but pinned spirals exist for saws requiring pinned ends.

How do I choose the right scroll saw blade size (TPI, width, thickness)?

Higher TPI (teeth per inch) cuts slower but cleaner; lower TPI cuts faster but rougher. Narrower blades turn tighter curves; wider blades stay straighter in thicker materials. Thickness affects durability — thicker blades track straighter but aren’t ideal for intricate fretwork.

Is there a scroll saw blade chart I can use?

Yes — this page displays a clear breakdown of blade types, tooth patterns, materials, and applications to help you select the right blade. Many users rely on the 76-Blade Sample Pack to test several sizes and styles before settling on their favorites.
