The Scroll Saw is one of the safest and easiest to use of all stationary
power tools – and that’s what makes it your best choice for introducing
adults and children alike to “The Joys of Woodworking.”
It’s delicate enough to saw thin veneers or inlays, intricate fretwork
or mother-of-pearl – yet powerful enough to slice through brass, bone,
plastics and hard or soft woods up to a full 2˝ thick with ease and safety.
Its special Blade Blocks hold all 5˝ plain end Fretsaw or Jigsaw Blades
from 1/4 wide down to super-fine Blades for making extremely intricate
cuts. And, where old style Jigsaws only powered their Blades on the down
stroke (making smooth cuts in thick wood almost impossible), Scroll Saws
power their Blades on both the down (cutting) and up (return) stroke.
This constant tension action delivers far more positive control over the
cut and helps prevent premature blade breakage. And, with a little practice,
your cuts will be so smooth you won’t have to do any sanding at all!
What you’ll do with your new Shopsmith Scroll Saw
CREATE ONE-OF-A-KIND CRAFT PROJECTS – From puzzles to jewelry,
to signs to intricate fretwork projects, the Scroll Saw is the saw of choice
for crafts people. It will tackle all types of materials and make super-fine,
super-smooth cuts in all of them.
PERFORM TASKS THAT ARE DIFFICULT FOR OTHER SAWS – Other saws
can’t match the performance of a Scroll Saw for jobs like:
• Making intricate, internal piercing cuts in veneer-thin to 2 thick
woods – plus – metals, plastics, rubber and other materials.
• Creating small, hand-cut-looking dovetails, corner-lap, mortise-and-
tenon and similar joints.
• Cutting out super-small projects or components that are either
too small or too dangerous to handle on other sawing machinery.
• Coping the inside corners of “off-angle” moldings that may other-
wise be difficult to fit.
HAVE SOME GREAT WOODWORKING FUN! – The most frequently reported
problem with Scroll Saws is that they’re so versatile and so much fun to
use that they can often become addictive. You’ll love it!
