I am wondering which blades you like the most for cutting hardwood up to 3/4" thick, and for plywood up to 3/4" thick? Thanks.

Flying Dutchman blades from:

He's got quite a selection. As for which exacts one, maybe some of the more experienced scroll sawers can chime in.

I buy my Flying Dutchman Blades from Mikes Workshop. He seems to be the nicest guy with the quickest delivery around. He can also give you good advice on what blade to try.

I use the Flying Dutchman Polar blades for most of my cutting on 3/4" hardwood. You likely will need a #5 or #7. You can try a #3 on the softer hardwoods but it is thinner and will break easier.

For the plywood, you can try the reverse blades or ultra-reverse. These will leave less fuzz or splinters on the bottom.
