    Cool Cutting Tight Curves/Making Rainbows

    Hi there, the rehab workshop my partner attends has just recently bought a Macma 350 bandsaw. We would like to know what blades he should be using to cut tight curves/ half circles, the smallest half circle in size he would need to cut would be approx. height 15mm, half circle across 35mm, hmm does that make sense? Any help appreciated.11049114_10153969534288066_1603141048882118417_n.jpg

    Edited to add an image of what he would like to make, Cheers.

    A 6mm blade would be the biggest you could get away with. any bigger and it will struggle to get around the inner curve on the smallest piece.
