scrollsaws

Intricate woodworking tools

Scrollsaws are power tools with thin, fine-toothed blades that move rapidly up and down, used for cutting intricate curves and patterns in wood, metal, or other materials.

The blade's narrowness allows tight turns impossible with larger saws, making scrollsaws essential for detailed fretwork, puzzles, and decorative pieces: She cut the wooden letters on her scrollsaw.
