How do I know what scroll saw blade to use?

For harder, thick wood, use higher blade numbers. The blades with less TPI (teeth per inch) will cut more aggressively. For example, a blade with 8 TPI cuts faster than a blade with 12 TPI, however there is more control with a blade that has 12 TPI.

How do I choose a scroll saw blade?

Use smaller blades (#3 and smaller) for thin wood. That is the smallest size I use for wood. Puzzle cutters sometimes use smaller blades to make their tight turns, but for general scrolling, a #2/0 blade is small enough. Choose the blade that will allow you to cut the smallest frets without breaking every few cuts.
