What is the range of TPI in the wood blades?

I don't know right off the bat. The blades are not marked as to TPI. I have them here in my hand. The Progressor blades vary. I have used all of these and they produce very smooth cuts. Even without taping the kerf line. It you are asking about TPI in reference to smoothness, don't fret. Just buy the blades.

there are 2 - T119BO @ 12TPI, 3 - T144D @ 6 TPI, 3 - T101B @ 10 TPI. Also included are 2 - T234X Progressor/Wood baldes that are dual pitch @ 8-12TPI

that is a broad question. the short answer is 5-24, but some blades are metal, some wood, and some progressive(multitple TPI on one blade). There is a wealth of info on bosch's website here: http://www.boschtools.com/Products/accessories/Pages/BoschProductSubCategory.aspx?catid=1098

There are different thickness's (kerf width). The blades with fewer teeth tend to be stiffer or thicker (16 TPI vs. 19 TPI). These blades are meant to be flexible and take some use to get proficient with. If you are looking for a stiff (rigid) blade, you may look for a dowel or flush cut or finish hand saw.

brand new caps, 31 blade, .010-air-gap, 1/4" tuning shaft, and CW rotation decreases capacitance. Testing indicates a capacity range of ~~ 390 (fully meshed) to 16 pf (fully open). That is all I can tell you at this point.

There are constant problems with everything on this machine. Mine needs some kind of maintenance work everyday. The drive belt jumps off, blade guides get loose, upper blade guide doesn't work when sawdust gets in it., wheels are difficult to bring into alignment and works best with Timberwolf Blades. No more than 4 tpi if you can find them. Try Suffolk Tools.

All of the blades are the same . Wood cutting light metal ok but burns up blade quickly

My model is a 640- which is an earlier model than your yours by a couple of years BUT in my instructions it states that machines will not accept pin type blades only.I do a lot of scroll work using 2/0 pinless blades. You have picked a great scroll sawIF you use size 2/0 up to # 1 RUN your saw at SLOW speed or you will go brokebuying blades. I use Flying Dutchman Blades - last much longer in hard wood and don'tburn - a very aggressive cut, much more than Olson. Good Luck ---- Ken

I have over 1000 throws against a split log, still throwing. I built a target from 2x4 hit it so many times I fogged out the wood and hit a nail it dented the blade.

I have only used the Freud FI102 on oak wood and have not had any problem with it at all. It is working very well for the short time I've had the blade. It has probably made in the area of 250 or 300 biscuit cuts so far and as of yet everything is great. I would give the blade a 5 out of 5 if I was rating the blade.

I have only used mine for a couple of months, on walnut, oak, purpleheart and cedar. Can't say for sure, but probably at least 500 board feet. No problems yet. I do take it easy, very light passes and for sure no nails in the wood. The cost of new blades is not outrageous. And there is always the option of adding the helic head(?) which offers several advantages. Bottom line, however, is that I don't really think the blades are so "bad". This is a really nice machine.

It is 110. Realtime not worth the money. Would be veterans off to spend a little more and get a quality saw

Cant remember the exact of teeth per inch (tpi) but, this would be considered a crosscut. It is a very fine blade that I use to cross cut bamboo without chipping. Although in a pinch you could rip with it.

I use this saw on tenon and general cuts. The 9 tpi side is somewhat course as a rip blade. I haven't found it useful for what I do. If I was buying again I would think about the single side blade with about 15 - 17 tpi.

I don't know the exact grade. I will tell you that I've been collecting blades for over fifteen years, and I have a pretty decent eye for quality. This blade will not disappoint. It is a true full tang, the blood groove is impressive, and the shaping of the blade is flawless. It doesn't have a "sharpened edge", per se. The entire blade past the blood groove is honed and worked out to the edge, which is impressively sharp for such a style. The point is aggressively sharp, and it comes oiled, as all carbon steel should. I have no regrets over purchasing this.

Sir, in my humble opinion there is no blade anywhere close to the blade I have. I do make a lot with plain plywood, the same blade has inadvertently been used to cut a few nails and it still cuts quietly and sandpaper smooth. I have probably cut 20,000 feet of assorted materials hardwoods (even some Yarrow)and use it each day. All I have done is clean it three times. Hope this helps you.

It's 1050 or 1055 high carbon steel. Lightweight thin blade. Pretty strong though, I've chopped with as hard as I could on some old, dry, hardened dead wood and thrown 50-100 times, all after normal use clearing brush (5-6 times at least) and it's holding up well. With the exception of some light chipping/damage initially (sometimes bits of the hardened edge chip off initially) it's held up well. Fun to throw, might destroy the handle eventually but the blade is undamaged from the throws SO, IN SUMMARY IF I HAVEN'T BROKEN IT YET, IT'S A GOOD CARBON STEEL ALLOY.

The blades are ALMOST 2 1/2 inches (two "little tick marks" on the ruler away from 2 1/2 ... no, I'm not a professional carpenter ... lol). The blade - when fully extended - is ALMOST 1 inch of cutting surface exposed (same two "little tick marks" shy of 1 inch). I just bought the replacement blades on Amazon, too - perfect match and inexpensive. I LOVE these little box cutters - cheap and effective. Also, these handy dandy little beauties tend to "walk away" when someone is doing a project at my house (dad/brother/uncles), so before I put the blades in, I spray painted the casings pink. Oddly enough, they've not walked away yet. :) The blades are ALMOST 2 1/2 inches (two "little tick marks" on the ruler away from 2 1/2 ... no, I'm not a professional carpenter ... lol).

Not sure, but cuts wood darn good, quick, clean and accurate. I'd like to know your question too. Saw worth ever penny!
