Scroll Saws

A scroll saw is a small elec­tric saw used to cut intric­ate curves in wood, soft metals, or plastics. The fine­ness of its blade allows it to cut more del­ic­ately than a power jig­saw, and more eas­ily than a hand cop­ing saw.

While some­what sim­il­ar to a band saw, a scroll saw uses a recip­roc­at­ing blade rather than a con­tinu­ous loop. Like a hand cop­ing saw, the scroll saw’s blade can be removed and placed through a pre-drilled start­ing hole, allow­ing interi­or cutouts to be made without an entry slot.
