Jigsaw vs Band Saw vs Scroll Saw
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Similar in many ways, both the scroll saw, jigsaw, and band saw have a lot in common. And yet, in practice, each saw is used for very different purposes. Although all can cut curves in wood, each tool has a slightly different purpose. And each have different strengths and weaknesses.

Selecting the right saw depends on what you want to achieve. Where the scroll saw can cut intricate patterns, the band saw can cut ultra-thin veneer panels. Jigsaws are handheld and can be taken to the work at the job site, the other two can not.
Professional woodworkers who routinely get involved in different kinds of projects are more likely to need to buy all three. Most hobbyists could probably settle on one, with the jigsaw usually being the first purchase. The band saw is generally regarded the workhorse of the workshop as it is more flexible than the scroll saw in terms of project size.

Glad it was helpful!
I've got 2 Bandsaws and hardly use them. I use my dewalt scroll saw a Lot though. Also use my Jig saw a Lot too. And the Lowe's backwards and forward blades make the Jig saw so much more useful. Great informational video. Thank u for taking time to make it.

Thanks for the tips!
This was a great video! You made information simple, clear, and easy to understand. I was thinking about getting a scroll saw (and probably a jigsaw). I don't have enough room for a band saw, but if I ever get more space, I might get one. I've seen some of the stuff people have made with a scroll saw and it makes me want to get one for myself. I am new to woodworking. I took a basics class where we used chisels and hand saws mostly (along with some drilling, measuring, routing, and sanding), but I don't have many tools currently yet. From what I've seen, you can do some really cool things with mostly just a scroll saw. It's also smaller than a band saw, so it will fit in the area I have. Thanks for the video.

The blade travel on a jigsaw is an issue but it doesnt prevent you from cutting thicker material. You can cut up to the depth of the blade travel at its max extension on its down stroke. So if the blade travels to 2" from the bottom of the plate to the tip of the cutting edge on its farthest down stroke you can cut material up to around 1- 7/8" to possibly even 2". You just have to make a slower pass
Can you cut from the middle of the wood with all three saws?
+ jigsaw can start cutting from the middle of a wood or sheet.
also band saw cannot cut out an interior hole i.e. donut hole

Yeah the band saw is definetly the biggest of the three!
I don't think of a bandsaw as a curve cutting machine. It's more of an intricate throat out machine or for resawing. If you want to make intricate turns on a saw a scroll saw is the way to go
What's going on with footage.. We can't see anything and if I turn side ways I see half of you... Did you not watch your video before you posted it? Sucks woulda been a great video
