Description
The Proxxon Super Cut Scroll Saw Blades No. 5 (No. 28117) are a 12-pack of 17 TPI plain-end (no pin) scroll saw blades for cutting hard and soft wood, plastics, Perspex (acrylic), and soft non-ferrous metals. Made from high-quality Super Cut steel for extended use and prolonged cutting capacity. The No. 5 blade size designation indicates a wider blade than the No. 3 — suited for straighter cuts and gentler curves where blade width provides better tracking and stability.
At 17 TPI, these blades are slightly coarser than the No. 3 (19 TPI) — cutting faster at the cost of a marginally rougher surface. The plain-end (no pin) format allows the blade to be threaded through a pilot hole for interior cutouts.
