DW 788 Gloat... Need Advice

[TedAS]

With my recent interest in wood gear clocks I found this old Craftsman saw to be a real drag to use.

The Christmas elves found a way to put this under my tree!:eusa_danc:eusa_danc

I cant believe how smooth and quiet this saw runs WOW! This is one nice tool.:banana:


Here is where I need help... Not being an experienced scroller I would like some advice on blade selection as well as your recommendations on where to order them.
When I make the clocks I cut a variety of woods 1/8” ,1/4”, 1/2” BB ply and 1/4” - 3/4” solid hard wood.


Thanks for looking.

As for blades and info :

I use FD blades and really like them . Mike has a great blade resource and is a heckuva nice guy to talk to . Give him a call. Personally I like the ultra-reverse blades
Get a sample pack .....it has several different kinds and gives you a good arsenal to work with

Congrats bro :eusa_clap
