Comparing a scroll saw to a table saw, is \u201clike a Benz to a Chevrolet\u201d. However, the intention here is not to show superiority as Big L did in his track, but to emphasize the difference between these tools.<\/p>\n

Can I start without having both of them? Which one is cheaper? Can the table saw substitute the scroll saw?<\/p>\n

I am pretty sure you have many questions, and I will try to answer most of them. However, before we reach to that, let\u2019s start with an introduction, just to get to know both tools.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

Scroll Saw<\/h3>\n

A scroll saw is often believed to be the same as\u00a0a jigsaw, but if you use that term you may be misunderstood since the original jigsaw is a handheld tool.<\/p>\n

The scroll saw is a tool fixed on a table. However, this is different from a table saw in many ways. The saw blade is 1\/8\u2019\u2019 or even less than that, it is held from up and down and it is very efficient in making narrow cuts.<\/p>\n

Scroll saws are usually electric or pedal-operated<\/strong>. Why would someone want a pedal-operated machine?<\/p>\n

Well, mainly because it can be easier to cut that way, and it can be safer as well.<\/p>\n
