Pegas Scroll Saw Blades – Skip Tooth Fret Saw Blades

Pegas Fret Saw Blades for Scroll Saw Work

Pegas is a Swiss manufacturer recognized for producing premium scroll saw and fret saw blades with consistent tooth geometry and reliable weld quality. The Pegas #7 Skip Tooth Fret Saw Blades are designed for scroll saw use, where clean, maneuverable cuts in hardwood and softwood are the priority.

The skip-tooth pattern leaves a wider gap between teeth compared to a standard blade, which improves chip clearance and reduces heat buildup during cutting—particularly important when running a scroll saw at continuous speed on longer projects. This design produces a smooth cut face that requires minimal sanding and allows the blade to navigate curves accurately without binding.

Scroll Saw Blade Selection Basics

Scroll saw blade number designates tooth count and blade width: higher numbers mean more teeth per inch and a narrower kerf, while lower numbers remove material faster with a slightly rougher finish. A #7 blade is a versatile mid-range choice suitable for intricate fretwork and general scroll saw cutting in material up to about 3/4-inch thick.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a skip-tooth scroll saw blade?

A skip-tooth blade has every other tooth removed compared to a standard blade, creating wider gullets between teeth. This design clears sawdust more efficiently and runs cooler during continuous cutting, reducing the risk of burning the wood or blade fatigue.

What blade number should I use for detailed scroll saw work?

A #7 blade like the Pegas #7 Skip Tooth Fret Saw Blades is a versatile mid-range choice for detail work and general cutting in material up to about 3/4-inch thick. Finer blades (smaller numbers) cut more delicate detail but remove material slowly; coarser blades (larger numbers) work faster in thicker stock.

Are Pegas blades compatible with most scroll saws?

Pegas fret saw blades are designed for standard pin-less blade clamp systems used on most modern scroll saws. Confirm that your saw accepts pin-less plain-end blades before ordering.

Does Infinity Tools offer a quality guarantee on Pegas scroll saw blades?

Yes. All products sold by Infinity Tools are covered by the quality guarantee. Contact the support team with any concerns.

What shipping options are available for scroll saw blade orders?

Current shipping options and rates are listed on the Infinity Tools shipping policies page.

How often should I replace scroll saw blades?

Scroll saw blades should be replaced when they begin to wander off-line, produce burning at the kerf, require noticeably more feed pressure, or when visible tooth damage is present. Thin fret saw blades are consumable items and regular replacement is normal during active use.

Can Pegas blades cut hardwood?

Yes. Pegas skip-tooth fret saw blades are suitable for cutting both hardwood and softwood on a scroll saw. Dense hardwoods require slower feed rates and may require more frequent blade changes than softer species.

Where can I learn scroll saw and fretwork techniques?

The Infinity Tools woodworking learning blog covers a range of techniques, including tips useful for scroll saw and fretwork projects.

Does Infinity Tools price-match scroll saw blades?

Yes. See the price matching page for eligibility and submission details.

What is the proper blade tension for scroll saw work?

Proper blade tension is firm enough that the blade deflects only slightly when pressed laterally with a finger—too little tension causes the blade to bow and wander; too much risks blade breakage. Most scroll saws have a tensioning mechanism; consult your saw's manual for the correct procedure.
