What does R (Reverse) mean on Pégas scroll saw blades?

An R after the number, for example 7R, means the scroll saw blade is a Reverse blade. It has the same tooth geometry as the matching standard blade, but with a few reverse teeth at the bottom.

The reverse teeth cut upwards and prevent the wood from splintering on the underside of the work. This gives a cleaner edge on both faces and works especially well in soft wood and plywood. Set the blade so the reverse teeth just reach above the table.
