I just received my order today (very fast shipping). I ordered 1 gross (144) of blades from Mikesworkshop
Half are 2/0r and the other half 5r.
I had never tried them before but after reading a few posts here, and reading up on Mike's site, I ordered them.
These are the best blades I have tried. I was breaking Olsen 2/0r blades one right after another, I did 5 ornaments out of 1/4 red oak with just one blade and it is still sharp. I am also about 1/2 way done with a 6" tall Celtic vine cross using one of the 5r blades, cutting 3/4" red Maple. It's cutting like butter. No more Olsen or Dremel blades for me, I will from now on order these excellent blades from Mike.

I have order all of my blades from Mike and have been more than satified with them. Am waiting for a few samples of Mike's spiral blades. After purchasing and reading Gary Brownings new portrait book, I decided to take a shot at using spiral blades again. Only tried them a few times some years ago and didn't like the results. Perhaps the newer style blades will  be more forgiving and easier to use.

Bill, I have been using spiral reverse blades from Mike for a lil over a year and a half. I absolutly love these blades, especially doing portraits. They are so much eaiser to control than spinning your project around and around on the saw table. I will say that you will love them too!!! Good luck!

I would like to echo what everyone says about Mike.  If you don't  know mch about Mike go to his website.  He is a fantasic guy, and the blades are first class.  I am testing some of the new spiral blades and very happy with them.   Don Elder
