What brand of scroll saw blades are the best?
I'm tasked with cutting out 36 8.5 x 11 jigsaw puzzles out of 1/4" birch ply.
I was in the blue borg last night and their selection totaled Vermont American and Dremel.
I got a couple of packs of the Dremels and they dull very quickly, possibly good for cutting styrofoam if your not in a hurry.

Tryt Olsen blades. They are widely available, though not at the Big Box stores. Better suppliers will have them in great variety of configurations, i.e., tpi, round, double cutting, etc.

The two i use are Olsen (pgt) and Flying Dutchman (mikesscrollsa.com) The FD blades are very reasonable, and are great

Same here. I thin that Mikes web shop is this:
I use Olsen as well, even when I cut Corian. I've tried a couple others but these seem to hold up better and are easier for me to get. `Casper
Thanks for all the replies, I'm going to get some Olsens and possibly order some of the flying dutchman, Up to now I've never done any production scroll sawing, I need better blades for this kind of work.

Had a bunch of Olsen and they were ok. After reading some posts about blades a year or so ago, went and got Flying Dutchman blades and they're terrific!
I got mine here:
