It really depends on the project. I bought some 2x basswood from Ocooch for 3d stuff.

Thanks Ray

What sort of struggle on the turns do you guys have? Funny how everyone has a different style cutting etc.. I struggle on turns with the FD-UR blades and when cutting cherry sometimes I'll get scorched edges on sharp turns with them.. after many years of scrolling I got it figured out that I was pushing through the corners a bit too hard or needed more speed on the saw.. Turned out I needed more saw speed, you'd think making the saw speed faster would burn more but the burning was due to pushing through to fast.. 

I only have trouble in the turns on compound cut projects Kevin. I think it is mostly the wood I was using. Couldn't be me LOl. I tried some poplar today and everything came out perfect.. Well good anyway.

I have used both the Pegas and the FD. My go to are the #3 and #5 Pegas MGT blades. I do use the FD blades on occasion but I find them a bit to aggressive for me.

I have started to use the Olson MACH blades lately and really like them, clean cut, and last forever. They do seem to have a slightly larger kerf and the are a bit more expensive, but they last much longer then the Pegas blades.

Can the Olson blades be purchased in bulk? I've never seen them in anything but small lots.

Not that I can remember, can't find the receipt but I had to purchase by the dozen. Adds to the cost.

Wooden Teddy Bear has bulk prices for 12+ dozen. I don’t know if that means one gross in a package or 12 packages of one dozen.

I'll keep that in mind. I did buy a package of the blades that Iggy was using but never did try them. I think they were Moch 1 or something like that.
