Hi guys,

I'm wondering what brand of jewelers blade you use for cutting inlays.
I usually buy 100 dozen blades at a time , so I don't get a chance to shop around much.

I currently use laser blades from Rio Grande.
I tried Pike blades, but they didn't seem to have as much consistancy from blade to blade, ( Uneven kerf, shorter cutting length.)

Any suggestions or sources? I need to order in the next week or two.
Many thanks,

I use Rio Grande also. They seem mighty fine to me but then they are the only brand I have used. I like Rio Grande for other things also, like saw handle, twissers, gold, silver. It is a good place!

I use Grobet brand get them from Lacy and Company here in Toronto. Here's the link if you are interested:

Lacy's claim they are better than the Antilope brand that they also carry.
