Small scroll saw blades

[LarryEA]

I have a project that requires very small blades.

Recommendations and suppliers please.

Cutting a stack of three BB or lauan  plywood

Thank you

The smallest blades are jewelers blades all the way down to 3/0.  Not sure about 3 - 1/8 

I have used he puzzle blades and they work well.

I get my blades from https://mikesworkshop.com/

Don, how do they do cutting wood?

Actually they go down to 8/0.

How thick are the layers?

1/4 inch each   =   3/4 "

Correction....5/8 inch

You said 1/8" in earlier post.... let us see what you are wanting to cut and maybe we can help more... although, blade makers, size, vender, are personal preference....

Made me go measure... three ply thickness is    ABOUT    5/8 inch total..

Is that about 3/16 each

I use Pegas #2/0 Mod Geometry R blades and #2/0 Spiral blades for much of my really small intricate detailed work including stack cutting up to 1/2" (4 layers of 1/8", or 2 layers of 1/4" Ply).  #0 and #1 blades are still relatively small blades and will work better where possible.  I'm in the process of cutting some full 3/4" solid poplar using Pegas #1 spiral blades right now and there is no poblem (as long as you don't kink the blade ). 

Highly suggest you choose BB ply over Luan.  Luan will not produce good result for small details,  Surface grain is very large and will not sand or take a finish well either.

If you are not purchesing you panel material on-line, Home Depot does carry 2'x4' sheets of 1/4" BB ply that looks nice.  I just looked at some yesterday.

Order Pegas blades from https://www.artcraftersonline.com

Hi

I use the pegas 2/0 blades for all my work and they are good for smaller items, making bend and corners etc.

I stack cut three layers of 1/4” and use mostly FD New 3/0 spirals. They cut pretty small.
