    Default Scroll saw blade's

    Need some recommendations for scroll saw blades to cut bone and horn. The horn is not so bad on the same blades I use for wood but the bone not so much.

    Thanks
    John

    I have no recollection of the tooth count, but as fine as you can get them. Gentle on the feed or it will get real chippy.

    I would think the best thing for cutting bone would be a tile saw with a water-cooled, diamond blade. If you plan on doing a lot of bone, that might be worth the investment. You can get them with 4 1/2" blades that might be suitable. That would provide very smooth cuts.

    Would jeweller’s saw blades fit your scroll saw? They are very fine cutters designed for metal.
