Dave, Experience will tell you more than any of us.
The 'right' blade for you ain't the one for me. Too many variables.
Buy a variety of blades.
Don't like how a blade is cutting, switch to another.
One that is a little bigger, more teeth or less teeth, just change blades and see how each cuts.
Most scrollers (IMO) go by #'s. #2, #5,...etc ... I go by width and depth and TPI.
All #2's are not the same. There are reverse tooth, skip tooth, crown... all can be #2's.
Go to " Sloanswoodshop.com " and see how many #2 blades there are and look at the width/thickness.
With the right blade, most wood cuts very nice.
