A scroll saw is a small electric or pedal-operated saw used to cut intricate curves in wood, metal, or other materials. The fineness of its blade allows it to cut more delicately than a power jigsaw, and more easily than a hand coping saw or fretsaw. Like those tools, it is capable of creating curves with edges, by pivoting its table.
The scroll saw's name derives from its traditional use in making scrollwork, sculptural ornaments which prominently featured scroll-head designs.
Scroll Saw Safety Rules
Scroll Saw Safety Rules
Operate only with instructor’s permission and after you have received instruction.
Remove jewelry, eliminate loose clothing, and confine long hair.
Make sure all guards are in place and operating correctly.
Always use proper eye protection.
Never let another student work on your project without teacher permission.
Make all adjustments before turning on the scroll saw.
Place the pressure foot lightly on the work so it allows for movement.
The danger area is within the “line of cut.” Hold the workpiece with both hands on each side of the “saw line.”
Avoid overloading the machine by feeding the material too fast/pushing too hard the material.
Avoid pinching the blade by turning too sharply.
If the blade pinches and slows down it may be caused by turning the wood too sharply.
The teeth on the scroll saw blade should be pointed down. This helps the operator keep control of their project by pushing the material onto the table.
Shut off power and clean the machine before you leave it.
