  1. What blade(s) do you (primarily) use the most? I have about 20 different blades in stock. I use both Olsen and Flying Dutchman I don't understand the numbering system of blades: IE #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 since #1's and #2's could be the same size... Both could be .026" x .013" dimensions... The blades I use are Smallest to Largest: .002" x .008" x 33TPI (Rare use) .024" x .010" x 30TPI (Rare use) .026" x .011" x ??TPI (Often used) .029" x .013" x ??TPI (Often used) .033" x .015" x ??TPI (Largest blade I use)

  8. More important to not leave any beer in the fridge, wax the table, clean your saw and cover it. Remove the blade? Only important because you will forget what blade is in your saw.

  11. Cherry (American Black) Wood Characteristics Color: Rich, reddish-brown. Cherry darkens considerably with age and exposure to sunlight. Grain: Straight-grained and satiny. Small gum pockets produce distinctive markings. Qualities: Light, strong, stiff and rather hard. Cherry's grain is more subdued than some other hardwood species, with very interesting character. Uses: Cherry is used in Scroll Saw Village, cabinetry, furniture, fine furnishings, flooring, paneling, doors, moulding, and turnings. Finishing Cherry: Cherry is unsurpassed in its finishing qualities-its uniform texture takes a finish very well. Easy to work, fine textured, strong and fairly durable. Becomes darker and richer with age. Reddish brown with a golden luster. Freshly cut cherry is often very pale, but the wood oxidizes to its famously favorable rich brown red in time. Colonial furniture makers called cherry "New England Mahogany" because of its tendency to turn dark red-brown after exposure to sunlight,

  15. Marg, Good question and 'YES' is the answer. I don't know what to compare it to for you. For me, it is an excellent wood, easy to work, fine textured, strong and beautiful especially with a finish. If you ever order any, you will like it.
