Craftsman, 1/4 x 80" 15tpi

Its just the "general scrolling" blade. Does a good job cutting outlines, but it does leave burn marks on maple sometimes. I cut outside the lines to compensate for this, and bring maple closer to the line on the ROSS (which can also burn it if I'm not careful).

I have a 1/2" blade in it now which cuts great but doesn't scroll much. So finishing the scrolling cuts on that neck blank I had to take material off in little bites.
