scrollsaw

Intricate pattern cutter

A scrollsaw is a power tool with a thin, fine-toothed blade that moves up and down, used for cutting intricate curves and patterns in wood, metal, or other materials.

The blade's delicacy allows for detailed work impossible with larger saws: She used a scrollsaw to cut the puzzle pieces.
