morso blades

Post by BriggyBoy »

Hi pretty new to this looking for a bit of advice regarding morso blades. They are showing the option of reversible blades and was just wondering if there were any downsides to those as they seem to be working out a good bit cheaper.

thanks for help

The reversible blades have a much smaller cutting width and are not so popular with most framers. When the reversible blades are sent for re-sharpening, they require grinding of an extra cutting edge so the life of theblades is being ground away faster than on the normal blades. I suppose there must be those who use these, but the normal blades are the most common type in use.
