NEW mini miter saw

[Squeaky1]

I just got a new Mini miter saw. It is 4" wide. It comes with a 12 tooth blade and a Diamond Cut. Which is better to cut wood pen blanks??

I am cutting the wood pen blanks to size and I really need to know which is better and easier. Also if I just got some acrylic pen blanks, which blade should I use on them.

I can't imagine the diamond being used on either one. the other only has 12 teeth!! Usually those things have a bunch of little teeth

If yours is like the one I have, it's only good for cutting Balsum model airplane type wood. I tried cutting blanks with it years ago. It didn't take me long to stop doing that.:redface::biggrin: If I recall correctly the diamond blade just filled up with wood.

Look for a carbide tipped blade !! Jim S
