The scroll saw is one of the easiest bench top power tools to use, even for the novice woodworker. While most scroll saws have the ability to cut stock as thick as two inches at 90 degrees, they're better suited for more detailed work, like cutting intricate patterns. The narrow width of the blade allows it to make tighter turns and much smoother cuts than its larger cousin, the band saw. In addition, the blade can be threaded through the workpiece for interior cuts. The scroll saw is the only bench top power tool that has this feature.

An electric scroll saw is one of those tools that you can easily do without, but once used, there is no going back. We use a Hegner saw.
Hand or power saw which is used to cut larger piece of work than that which can be done with a jigsaw.
A scroll saw is a small electric or pedal operated saw useful for cutting intricate curves where a jigsaw or coping saw is not appropriate. It is somewhat similar to a band saw, but unlike band saws, where the sawblade is a continuous loop, scroll saws use sawblades similar to those used by coping saws and operate through a reciprocating up and down motion.
