  1. Beautiful!
  2. I certainly wouldn't sand the whole length of the blade but sanding the ends and the end of the thumb screw is routine for me. Before I install a new blade I always sand the ends of the blade, and once or twice a week I'll sand the end of the thumb screw. Maybe it has to do with how much tension you apply. I always apply as much tension as I can get, on my DeWalt its 5.5.
  3. Nice cutting Mike!

  5. Maybe I should rephrase, to get more responses to your question, it's best to start a new post.Is that ok with you Larry?

  11. Looks good! When you say Olson UR blades, do you mean reverse tooth? The blade drifting is usually caused by insufficient tension. Make sure your blade gives a high ping when you pluck it like a guitar string. Also, when cutting 1/8", it's best to stack a scrap piece of wood to your blank for better control.
  12. It's best to asks a question in a new post so as not to hijack the original post.
  13. Hey Boby, I use both FD and Olson blades. Of the FD blades, I use mostly the Ultra Reverse blades, but also use the polar blades for compound projects and New Sprials for portraits. It's important to know that the UR blades are a lot more agresive than standard blades, but because of that, they leave a clean, smooth edge, and last about 50% longer than most blades. The UR blades do not come in 2/0, which I us a lot of. I have not had any luck cutting with any FD 2/0 blades, so I use Olson reverse tooth 2/0 blades, and when I want a less agresive blade, I use Olson Reverse Tooth blades. When I teach classes at Woodcraft, I use Olson Skip Tooth blades, mainly because they are not too agresive and they are available at the store fo the students to buy.
