What is the difference between a scrollsaw, jigsaw and bandsaw?
All of these saws are good for their applications of which they are designed to do. To me, the best all around saw is the Scrollsaw, it is like all of the others rolled into one, here are some examples: The bandsaw is good for cutting down boards and for outside cuts but can not do inside cuts without having to break the solid piece of wood to get to the center. It also is limited, by the size of the band, for cutting up to a certain length of board as well as can not get too intricate. The Jigsaw, being hand held and portable, is good for large outside and inside cuts but is very limited for intricate cuts because of the size of the blade. The scrollsaw is good for everything, but it too is limited by the size of its throat and thickness of the wood, everything else is right on track!
