Scroll Saw

My new scroll saw - see my review

A scroll saw is a step up from a jigsaw. Scroll saws are ideal for cutting thin materials like pickguards, but with patience, you can push a scroll saw through even a body blank. For cutting thicker materials, and just in general, a band saw is better and faster.

A scroll saw does have one advantage over a band saw: You can disassemble the blade and reassemble it through a hole in the workpiece, to make entirely interior cuts. A jigsaw can also do this, but a band saw cannot.

Much like a jigsaw, a scroll saw will cut fairly perpendicular when going straight, but the blade will bend around curves, so stay well outside your line and sand-in.

It seems the WordPress team has been busy adding "features" to the new versions. Features that raise html errors. Otherwise known as bugs. I added some code to defeat the new "functionality". WordPress really needs to get some good product testers. Testing is just as important as writing buggy code in the first place.

This is a very useful tool:
