GREGMW Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi, How fine ,or teeth (TPI) scroll saw blade would I need to use to cut MOP shell with a jewelers saw frame. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Errrrr......why are you thinking of using a scroll saw blade in a jewellers saw frame ? just buy piercing (sp?) blades for the frame (Google 'jewellers tool supplies' or 'piercing saw blades' or something simular or even check your local Ebay). If it's your first attempt i'd probably suggest, not that i'm an expert or anything, using something reasonably robust like 2/0 or perhaps even 1/0 if your a bit of an animal and leave the 3/0 or 4/0 until you've had a bit of practice as they'll tend to snap more easily. This sort of thing ! Jem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batfink Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 That's alright mate, some of the American brand names that get thrown about confuse the hell out of me and normally when i check with a freind of mine in the US it's glaringly obvious ! Anyways, you're in the best part of the world to start dabling around with pearl work - i wish you well. Jem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I agree, my personal favorite is 2/0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
