The missing blades Mystery

[JohnB]

G'day all,
Just thinking out loud, I do that occasionally, think that is

What ever happened to blade numbers 4, 6, 8, 10, & 11 ?????????????

Also, this is the reason I get my blades from the US.
Carrols = $8.00 per doz Mach blades
Timbecon= $14.40 per doz, Olson RS
Carba-tec = $14.00 per doz Carba-tec

I would stop cutting if I had to pay $14.00 a doz. maybe I am missing somthing hear. say , tell me what kind of blades you wont. I will order them from the usa. and then we can talk about shipping them to you. I would do that. for sure. your friend Evie

John:

Silversmiths and Jewelry makers use high tooth count metal cutting scroll saw blades. #4, #6, & #8 silversmith blades are available from brand names like Pike and Herkules. These blades are pin-less, about 5 inches long, and my guess is they are mostly used in silversmith frame saws.

Do a google search where you are for silversmith tools and saw blades. By the way, Pike has a reputation for good quality 6/0 and 8/0 (that's right, 6-aught, and 8-aught) blades; more teeth per inch than my finest file.

I believe John said that is the reason he gets his blades from the USA.
