Robert Larson540-7500 Coping Saw Blades for Wood

The purpose I had in purchasing this coping saw to begin with was to use in cutting out waste while doing dovetailing. I've used it now a number of times for that purpose and it performed admirably ... its only weakness was me. Basically ... if I were as good as this coping saw my work would be masterful. However I haven't used it for awhile now as I've worked out other ways to get rid of dovetailing waist that I like better. But regardless I'm still glad to have the Larson saw and wouldn't discourage anyone from purchasing it. And in fact I would further recommend that you purchase replacement blades at the same time.

Buy these when you buy your coping saw and you wont regret it. The blades are of a high quality, strong and stay sharp, but for the price it pays to have a few extra on hand just in case. Not much worse than being half way through a project, a blade breaks and you have to stop what you are doing to go get another, or worse yet, order some.

I've recently been trying my hand at woodworking making boxes and crap. I had an old coping saw, but no blades. Ordered these blades and I got no complaints. They cut well and you get an ample supply of them; I think twelve, but I'm not getting up to count.

The blades was in a ordinary package and well "sharped". I think is too much "sharped" 'cos it tend to pull the wood back when the moviment is against the teeth but the material is very good and well sharped.

works well with new saw

These worked well, coping red and white oak moldings.

I purchased the Larson coping saw and also a set of 5 blades at the same time. I can't imagine how many cuts I thought I would be making - I use a coping saw only for molding/trim work, and only for some inside corners. The blade that came with the saw will probably last a couple years of occassional use considering how well it has performed so far.

I must be the only one who doesn't like these blades. Working on a project in Bubinga (admittedly a pretty tough wood) these blade just didn't go anywhere. 50 pulls and maybe 1/4" of progress in a 1" board. This was far worse performance than the existing blade on my coping saw (from Highland Woodworking) that I had already considered dull. (A new Veritas dovetail saw goes through the board like butter.) On examination the blade teeth were poorly finished and relatively dull. A bit of brute force and a softer wood would probably yield acceptable results, but I'm pretty disappointed--these are going straight in the trash.
