Anyone ever use the Olson scroll saw sanding blades? What kind of results? I'm considering the 1/4" and 1/2" pinned end blades.

I have seen this but mine uses pin end blades. I have glued some sand paper onto used blades,emory boards glued to used blades, etc. just curious if anyone has used the ones mentioned.

I haven't used them yet I'll report when I do.

I used them on the Wooden Gear Clock project, see here.

They worked okay for my project. Got mine at the local Woodcraft. They don't offer a broad range of grits and, needless to say, they wear out pretty quickly. But if you don't have a strip sander they can be a help. My old Delta is a pinless system but I can't imagine that the pins would make a difference.

Thanks for that link, Dan. Even though I subscribe to Steve's channel, I somehow missed that tip. I'll try that one out on my current project.
