Default scrollsaw blades

Hello,

I have a used hawk 220-3 scroll saw but I dont have any saw blades , I don't know what kind of blades to order for this saw with or without ends. For starters I will be sawing 3/4" MDF & how do I know what kind of blades to use on different thickness of wood?

Thanks for your help,
GARY

Go to this site (Mike's Workshop English featuring: my life story, a cancer survivor, scrollsawing samples and tips, community service, list of favorite sites and Flying Dutchman fretsaw blades for sale.) and ask Mike, he will tell you what you need. Mike is very knowledgeable and sells a good blade, service is excellent and fast.

I second Ron's recommendation. Recently placed my first order with Mike. Ordered Sunday afternoon via website. Shipped on Monday! He's on top of things to say the least.

Happy scrollin'

I WAITED patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry clay,
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God;
Many will see and fear
And will trust in the Lord.
Psalm 40:1-3
