acaron41120 Posted September 27, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 27, 2020 I have Jeweler's Vice which is a "V" slotted piece of wood mounted with a clamp. I have a Jeweler's/Coping saw. What is the best number of teeth per inch for the saw blades to cut the pieces from the wood sheets in my kit? Thanks.

druxey Posted September 27, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 27, 2020 It depends on the thickness of the wood you are cutting. A rule of thumb is that at least three teeth should be in the wood at any particular moment.

JeffT Posted September 27, 2020 Share #4 Posted September 27, 2020 I suppose it depends on what you are cutting. I've been using number 3 blades for most things models.
