What Makes Pegas Blades Cut Straighter?
Pegas® scroll saw blades teeth are perfectly and equally set (right & left) which enables the blade to cut straight. If this setting is not properly mastered, the blade deviates. This is what happens with most of our competitors' saw blades. The user has to compensate for the deviation by holding the sawed item at a certain angle. This way of sawing is unnatural and the result cannot be compared to an item sawed with a Pegas® saw blade.
