There are several factors to take into consideration especially when it comes to choose saw mill blades for your project. These factors include thickness of wood, hardness of wood as well. The very first thing you need to check for is the complexity of the pattern. You will need to choose a blade that is small enough to be able to cut in the complex areas of your pattern without causing too much trouble. Usually with thicker and harder wood you will require bigger saw mill blades however the blade you use must be able to turn within the radius of the sharpest corners of your scroll saw pattern.
Scroll Saw mill blades are listed using numbers. The higher the number, the bigger the blade will be. The numbers can range from as large as #12 to sizes below #0 such as #2/0 (pronounced two aught), #3/0, etc. Generally you won't need anything that's smaller than #3/0 as they are usually considered jeweler's blades.
Bigger blades will be both thicker and wider and will be having fewer teeth per inch. There is no standard governing these specifications however so there will be slight variation between manufacturers as well as between different series of blades by the same manufacturer.
