Having a pin blade only saw does limit the sort of blades you can get Woody.
What saw is it?
I can send you a few blades to get you going, but it will probably be the end of next week before I can get to post them.
Please Pm me next week to remind me:whistling:

Hi Woody,
I always use Olsen blades as that is the recommended blade at the club (BroxburnWoodcraftClub.org)
We generally get them from woodworkscraftsupplies.co.uk.
They can be purchased pinned or pinless, I always use pinless, mainly because the machine uses pinless and you can use a smaller hole for starting the blade in.
Hope this helps, any problem let me know.

Your'e Welcome,
The blades we use are 5" pinless but you will be looking at 5" pinned or 3" pinned (hobby blade).
You can also get kits to convert your saw to pinless but a look through the catalogue there will show you quite a lot of goodies :thumbs:

You realise this is another slippery slope :down:

I had a scroll saw years ago for making toys but it just didn't do anything for me so I sold it but who knows this time LOL What with woodturning as well it looks like I'm a lost cause LOL
