A scroll saw is a stationary machine equipped with a fine blade which moves up and down. The rapid movement of the saw blade on this type of machine lets the user cut wood quickly and intricately.

The precision that comes with using a scroll saw is a result of the blade’s small size. Although similar in set up to a band saw, a scroll saw is used for more intricate woodwork and cutting.

Getting Started

Do not place your material or wood against the scroll saw before turning it on.
When cutting through the wood, hold the wood firmly but not too firmly.
Push the wood as the blade cuts through it, but do not move the wood into the blade.
Always have safety gear in place.

Steps for Using the Saw

1. First, place your wood. Place the wood down just a few inches away from the actual blade and always be sure you have both hands on the wood at all times. Most scroll saws come with foot pedals which allow you to turn it off and on.
2. Turn the scroll saw on and adjust the blade speed if the model you are using has variable speeds. Keep in mind that generally the harder the wood, the slower the speed should be. If you are cutting through softer woods, you should use a faster speed.
3. Depending on the type of cutting you are doing, you may or may not be able to finish all the exterior cutting in a single pass. If your workpiece has straight lines and corners, you will likely be able to cut through it all in one go. If your piece has curves, it will take more time.
4. Aim the blade of your scroll saw so it is in line with the first line you are cutting and guide the wood slowly into the blade. Use your forefingers and one thumb to move the material through the blade. Go back once more through the line that has been cut and remove the wood once you turn.
5. Turn the wood so that the saw blade is positioned above your next line. Guide the blade onto the line to meet with the first cut. Back out the blade from the line you have cut and turn the material to prepare for the next line.
6. Work your way slowly along the edges of the piece until you have cut through all the outer lines.
7. If you are making internal cuts, you will first need to drill a hole in the wood to make room for the saw blade to go through. After creating the hole, you can pull the blade out and place the piece of wood over the clip. Then, put the blade back in through the hole.
8. Lock the blade back into place and make the cuts. Just be sure the blade is not being held against the wood before or while you turn it on.
9. If you are doing internal cuts and need to remove the middle sections, be sure to turn off the blade after you have finished. Once you have finished doing the inside cuts, turn off the scroll saw and pull out the blade.
10. Once you have finished everything, you will notice that it will likely have some rough edges which need to be sanded. Smooth out the edges using sandpaper to make it look crisp and clear.
