What makes Carbon Furniture blades better for contour cutting than standard wood blades?

Morse Carbon Furniture blades feature a flexible back combined with hardened tooth tips and narrow widths (like 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8"). This unique construction allows the blade to bend and twist slightly without fracturing, enabling the saw to track exceptionally tight radiuses and curves without wandering or burning the material.

Can these carbon furniture blades be used to cut thin metals?

While designed primarily for wood and plastics, these carbon steel blades can cleanly cut thin, non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and brass, provided your band saw can drop down to appropriate low-speed metal cutting feet-per-minute (SFPM) settings.

How do I choose the right blade width for my furniture scroll work?

Choose your width based on the tightest radius you need to cut. A 1/8" wide blade can cut a tight 5/32" radius, a 1/4" blade handles a 5/8" radius, while a 3/8" blade is ideal for larger 1-1/2" sweeps and straight cuts.

Why is my furniture bandsaw blade burning the wood during tight turns?

Wood burning is typically caused by three things: a dull blade, trying to force a wide blade into a radius that is too tight (causing the back of the blade to rub against the wood), or running the machine at too high of a speed without adequate feed pressure.
