Fine cut jigsaw blade

[sunnybob]

I went looking today. :roll:

The biggest tool shop within 70 miles had ONE set of bosch blades, and they were neither of the numbers in this thread, just fast cut for wood. I have one more shop to try, but they need a half day out to get to so not for a few days yet. If they dont have any its a 2 week wait for delivery from the UK.

My jigsaw blades are very coarse cut so I've been practising with what I have and the cut from the bandsaw is fair to middling after sanding but I have to make one part and take it to her to see if its acceptable to her.
This dolls house is a Barbie house. 1/6th scale, 3 floors, and there are literally hundreds of pieces to cut (106 roof tiles for a start :shock: ) so i'm not starting any purchasing untill I get a firm agreement.

Looks like the T308B blades would be even better as they are wider & classed as very clean cut.
Wouldn't Axminster post them to you?

Bosch "special for laminate" jigsaw blades leave a nice crisp edge on either side of the cut, especially if masking tape is stuck on both faces of the board beforehand.

Two varieties are available:

* Bosch T101BIF (wide blade for straight cuts and gentle curves)

* Bosch T101AOF (narrow blade for tight curves)

I have to keep reminding you lot that I live in Cyprus 8) The downside to that is postage of any parts takes 2 weeks normally (often longer because my village only gets one delivery a week :roll: ) and for an unknown reason scares most suppliers to death, making them treble the normal postage rates. When I had my bandsaw shipped here the first quote for shipping was more than the value of the bandsaw!
So yes,Ii can, but no, I dont want to untill all other avenues have been explored.

I dont know why but this ridiculous fear of shipping only applies to machines and tools. My wife ordered something from NEXT UK (bound to be a large package) on saturday afternoon. It was waiting at the nearest depot tuesday morning, no extra charge.
I tried to order a new router plate that will fit into a jiffy bag from Italy (half the distance of the UK) and got the "shipping is so expensive" routine.
Now if only NEXT would start selling machinery I would be a happy chappy.
