Any recommendations for coping saw blades?

[Roy G]

I was using my coping saw to clean out some dovetails and broke two blades. In both cases the pin at one end either failed or fell out. Since I have another side of the carcass to dovetail and the 5 drawers to make I would like some guidance as to what blades might be recommended. Cleaning out the waste by chopping with the chisel is pretty slow.

I like the Pegas 14 tpi and 18 tpi skip-tooth blades

Thanks for the recommendation. I stopped by HD but they didn't have any blades in stock. Looks like I'll end up ordering some.

Hey this not an off topic thread. It should be in the general or the hand tool.

I'd try a good-quality coping saw blade from Olson or Pegas. Make sure the blade is tensioned properly. Too loose and the pins can pull out or break
