Round Blades

[Rolf]

I thought I would jump into the fray. And the following is only my opinion
I have cut many of Volker Arnolds designs, the Disney Castle being one of them, it has many viens that need to be of uniform width to look right. I have used "regular" spiral blades and gave up. I then got some of the last true round blades from Mike's Workshop. I guard these with my life and use them sparingly ( the kerf is a bit wide for many of my projects) I recently bought some of the 2/0 "NEW Spiral" blades from Mike, they are supper. I can go in any dirrection with full control. If you can't controll these blades then there is something else wrong.
I need to clarify that before someone gets offended. I have 2 saws the Delta 350 and an RBI Hawk.The Hawk has virtually no front to back blade motion unlike my Delta which has almost 1/8 inch. The front to back blade will dramatically affect how a round blade cuts. If I move sideways on the Delta the wood sees 1/8 of motion, versus the thickness of the blade straight on.

Have Mike send you a sample of the new blade. If they don't work for you maybee you can justify a new Toy ( machine) I use every gambit in the book.

Happy New Year
Rolf
