- Scroll saw Blades, Pegas blades for hardwood.
In this video we explore the best options when it comes to Pegas scroll saw blades when working in hardwood. We put a variety of Pegas scroll saw blades through a simple test to see the ones that can cut hardwood the most effectively.
Finding the best scroll saw blade can be the difference between success when it comes to scroll saw projects. The idea of this video demonstration is to share our thoughts on which Pegas scroll saw blades we believe are most suitable for working in hardwood.

Great video showing a variety of blades and with example cutting.... I've just bought some Niqua Speed No.9 Reverse Blades can't wait to use them... Thanks again!!
Hi Stephen, thanks for the positive feedback. Hope the Niqua speed blades work well for you. Make sure they are definitely Niqua Speed before you buy. Used others like Niqua Fix blades and they were no where near as good.
Thanks for supporting our CZcams channel. Let us know if you have any questions. All the best from us all here at The Lovespoon Workshop. 👍👍
I have started to use MGT more and more. Usually a 5 or 7. Thanks for everything you have helped me learn. The double skips are a bit annoying to me. I haven’t tried a hook yet
Hi Marty, hope all is well with you. Glad you've found a blade that suits you well.
Thanks as always for supporting our CZcams channel. All the very best from us all. 👍

A big thumbs up for the testing of the Pegas blades. I've been wondering about the modified geometry blade. My go to blade is the Flying Dutchman #5 reverse tooth for most cuts, but I do have #02 to #9. All reverse tooth.I also have their reverse tooth spiral blades . I don't like spiral blades, lot of cleanup. I do have their puzzle blades too, but haven't used them yet. I cut both softwood and hardwood. Plus I cut Baltic Birch Plywood. So I wasn't sure what to start with. I do some fretwork, mostly simple stuff. I will be concentrating mostly on whirligigs that I have designed my own patterns for, but I will be cutting more hardwood for puzzles. I also will start cutting hardwood for carving projects that I want to learn to do over next winter. I can learn to do carving in the house next winter when I have my shop closed. I'll cut ahead all the projects I can this summer. Then I can paint, assemble, or carve during our long winter. Thanks for the Pegas info! Take care!
Hi Michael, great to hear from you and thanks for the positive feedback on the video. I have another one coming up on a few of the flying dutchman blades too. More difficult to get hold of here but for me, I enjoyed working with the flying dutchman blades more than the pegas blades. I also agree with you that spiral blades are not my preference. Again though, if I had to choose one type of spiral blade it would be the flying dutchman ones.
Love the idea of preparing carving projects before hand. Make best use of the workshop space when you have it.

Hi I am a deaf person and have tried to follow your narrative about the different blade and uses.
The one I'm I interested is either the Pegas No 9 or the No 7 which I think you refered to as "Pagas Modified Geomity" Do you supply these if not where can I obtain them.
Best regards Norman
Hi Norman,
Thank you for getting in touch. I bought Pegas modified geometry blades through Axminster tools here in the UK. I personally prefer the Niqua speed number 9 reverse tooth blades and buy these directly from the factory in Germany.
Hope that helps, let me know if you have any follow up questions. Thanks again for supporting our CZcams channel. All the very best from us all. 👍👍
I placed my order from Axminster yesterday and being delivered today, great service from them. When watching videos I always use subtitles and the Name “Niqua” came up with lots of different spelling. This is a huge problem with auto-generated subtitle.
Guess what? I’m going to order some Niqua No 9 because I’ve now got correct spelling, thank you Dai.
You're very welcome. Hope you get great use out of the different blades.
Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks again for supporting our CZcams channel. All the best from us all here at The Lovespoon Workshop. 👍👍
Thanks for that information. As a newbie it is great to know that different brands can give so varied a result.
You're very welcome. The performance and results of your scroll saw work is very much affected by the blade you use. It's definitely worth trying different blades and finding what works best for you and the projects you make.

Very informative thanks. What would you recommend for a novice using soft wood
Hi Cindy,
Great to hear from you. Depends on the thickness of the soft wood. My favourite blades are reverse tooth blades. I work mainly with the Niqua speed number 9 reverse tooth blades. I am working in half inch thick hardwood though. Flying dutchman reverse tooth blades are great too, just more difficult to get hold of for ourselves here in the UK. The Pegas version is also very good but tends to slip in the blade holder more. For soft wood, depending on the thickness a lower number reverse tooth blade (3 to 7) might be more appropriate to get a finer finish.

I can only find Pegas blades in my country so I have to use them. They are better than the Makita or other blades because there's basically no variety and they are all pinned blades and big. I was using them on 9mm hardwood but I didn't try stack cutting them yet, only on soft woods where they do a nice job. I managed to find Olson's spiral blades and I will try them out later.
Great to hear from you as always. The Pegas blades do a very good job. Not our favourite blades ourselves but they certainly do a great job.

Great to hear from you. The blade I use is a reverse tooth number 9. My own preference is the Niqua speed number 9 reverse tooth blade but Pegas and Flying Dutchman are also great options. I have attached a link below for you to see.

My go to blades these days are exclusively Pegas, mainly #3 and #5 reverse tooth for the type of cutting I do. I have tried Niqua blades but find them slower to cut than Pegas. I have also tried Flying Dutchman blades but found them to be the worst blades I have ever used. They cannot be tensioned properly and stretch so far that eventually they just snap! Not what you want in the middle of a long stack cut. Also, here in the UK we have to pay import taxes and VAT on them which pretty much doubles the purchase price!
Hi, great to hear from you and thanks for sharing your own experiences. I think blades are the most debated and such an important part of scroll sawing. So important to find the blade that suit you best and works best for the work you do. Just out of interest, what scroll saw do you use? It would be interesting to know if certain scroll saws suit certain machines better.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences and supporting our CZcams channel. All the best from us all here at The Lovespoon Workshop. 👍👍
@@DailovespoonsThomas Hello, thank you for replying. The scroll saw that I use is an Excalibur EX21, now known as the Axminster Trade AT535 I think. I know that Flying Dutchman blades are regularly used with these saws especially in the US. If I remember correctly, at the time I bought my last batch of Flying Dutchman blades there was a question over the quality of them with reports of them regularly snapping in use and wandering off line. I think they had not been properly hardened or heat treated and they got through to being sold worldwide, and when you are ordering from another country you have no control over what is sent to you. It prompted a lot of people, me included to never buy them again and stick with Pegas blades, which for me work reliably for everything I do. I still have a load of Flying Dutchman blades that I will now never use but would feel guilty about passing on due to how bad I think they are!!
@@redditchscroller7049 thanks for getting back to me. A similar thing happened years ago with the Niqua blades we use. There was a bad batch. We found a solution to that problem though. We would put the blades on top of the wood burner, heat them up for 10 minutes and use them and they were fine. We bought them off hegner Uk and in fairness they also sent a replacement pack so we did well from it.
Thanks again for sharing your own experiences, all the best from us all here at The Lovespoon Workshop. 👍👍
I have not heard of niqua speed blades in the U.S. Is there an equivalent blade in the Flying Dutchman product line?
Hi Ronald, great to hear from you. The flying dutchman number 9 reverse tooth blade is virtually the same blade as the Niqua speed number 9 reverse tooth blades.
Thanks again for getting in touch and supporting our CZcams channel. All the best from us all here at The Lovespoon Workshop. 👍👍
Great video as always I think I have said this before to me blades aren’t as good as they were 30-35 years ago for years I used a No. 7 BLITZ Blade from Germany my local supplier close I started using Olson Blades I have tried about every blade there is over the years depending on what I cut I use No. 3 up to a No. 9 an have over time used every size I think but so many brands I tried aren’t good at all I use to buy by the Gross but I did try OnLine Premium Scroll Saw Blades Platinum Plus an they cut a little slow but the finish is really good I don’t run production any more so speed doesn’t matter as much.
Sorry for the long comment one last thing Pègas isn’t my blade of choice they are good but blade slipping is a problem
Great insight Jerry and I have to agree with everything you have shared. Those would be exactly the same as our own thoughts.
Just found the online shop for Niqua blades in Germany so hopefully that will be a great contact. It has become difficult to get hold of them here in the UK. Flying dutchman blades are another we enjoy using but we can only find sellers in the USA, nothing here in the UK.
Always great to hear your own experiences. It's great to hear you own thoughts and experiences. Thanks again, all the very best from us all. 👍👍
What blade would be best for purple heart?
Hi Raho, great to hear from you. I work in hardwoods and have worked in purple heart in the past. I like to use a reverse tooth blade, with my favourite being the Niqua Speed number 9 reverse tooth blade. Pegas have their own version as do flying dutchman.
Thanks for supporting our CZcams channel. All the very best from us all. 👍👍
@@DailovespoonsThomas Thank you for the reply. I don’t have access to those brands down here in New Zealand, but Olson seem to be readily available, is this brand adequate?
Have a look at what they have in their range. If they have a reverse tooth option give it a go. It's a brand I have never used myself but it seems a popular choice. 👍👍
@@DailovespoonsThomas Thanks very much. I appreciate your advice. Cheers.
You're very welcome, let me know if you have any other questions or need any help. Purple heart is a beautiful wood that gives stunning results. All the very best from us all. 👍👍
What blade would you recommend for 20mm oak board?
Niqua Speed number 9 reverse tooth blade or the Niqua Pebecco number 9 reverse tooth blade. The Niqua Speed is fine up to about 25mm but anything thicker I prefer the Niqua Pebecco. Pegas do their own version of a number 9 reverse tooth blade too.
Hope that helps, thanks again, all the very best from us all. 👍
@@DailovespoonsThomas thanks for getting back to me so soon. I’m a scroll saw novice at the moment. I’ll write down your recommendations and most likely I’ll buy all of them incase my oak is exceptionally hard etc and one blade might work better than the other 🤝👍👏

Hi, still can't get a translation on your comments unfortunately but to give a little insight into the scroll saw blades we use and recommend. Our favourite is the Niqua Speed number 9 reverse tooth blade. Pegas and Flying Dutchman also do a version of reverse tooth blades that do a good job. We use pinless blades.
Hope that helps, thanks again, all the very best from us all. 👍👍
