flyng dutchman blades from Mike - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

got got my asst. pack from Mike today.

first time I seen any other blades than craftman.

I look at the package and said" not many here" ( he did send the right amount,) I just had no idea they were so small. Can't wait to try them.

he said the Fd-sr 3 and 5 are good for hardwood, which I am using, but my craftman's are so much more metal, it seems like they won't be able to cut.

can't wait for Sat.

You'll LOVE them John! I cut for months on the Craftsman blades (and liked them), but Mikes blades are better, and you can't beat the customer service he gives! He saved my bacon on the last order by suggesting a better blade for what I was attempting to cut... the man is prompt, courteous, and knows his blades....

Welcome to the forum BTW!!!

Hi,

I'm am definitely no expert on blades, but those Flying Dutchman blades are so great, I only get my blades from Mike now. They are tough, last much longer and I rarely break one. (was a real hard-core blade-breaker for a while til I got more proficient at setting the right tension LOL)

I think you will be happy with them.

I love Mike and his FD blades! He's so good there's no need to get blades any place else.

I think I"ve used or tryed just about every brand out there and Mike"s is the one that I finally stayed with

, go Flying Dutchman Blades.........

You'll like the Flying Dutchman blades much better than the Craftsman blades. They cut well and last as long as any of the other blades on the market. Mike is the best to deal with and treats his customers like kings. And the price is unbeatable!

Great service and reasonable prices and doesn't rip you off with unreasonable shipping charges. I've always got them in 4 business days or less!

I have fallen in love with the FD ultra-reverse blades

--wonderful cutting power, and slightly slimmer size--and order them dozens at a time. And Mike is by far the place to get them.

Mike's FD blades are all I use.
