Thank you, all, for the warm welcome. And thanks for all the suggestions. I believe I discovered the problem with the chipping. I think I inadvertently used some inferior plywood for this last project. I was, in fact, using the FD puzzle blades from Lesley's Patterns. Both blades work equally well when using good plywood. I do prefer the reverse blade for the smoother backside it leaves. I guess experimentation is the only way to find what works best for each of us. @dgman, I transfer the images with the technique outlined in this video, something everyone may find useful for various projects. Best!

Hi, thanks for letting me into this community. I have been scrolling since summer 2016. I transfer public domain images directly to baltic birch plywood and cut them up into jigsaw puzzles. One difficulty I am having is chipping on the image side. I am using 4B baltic birch from Robert Bury in Montreal and using #2/0 .008 .027 23 8 DOUBLE TOOTH REV (DT/R) blades from Saw Bird. I want to sell my puzzles. Any advice is much appreciated. Cheers!
