How to Use a Scroll Saw

Scroll saws are a machine used for cutting wood and metal. The following is a video explaining the basics of how to safely operate a scroll saw:


As the video explains, do not hold your wood/metal in the incorrect way (shown in the video), because if the wood was to slip, your thumbs would slide straight towards the blade and they would get cut. You must apply a decent amount of downward pressure to make sure the wood/metal does not jump up, and if you are working with metal, you must always spray a lubricant on the blade every few centimetres of cutting to ensure the blade does not start jumping and ruining your design. Follow these steps, and you will have an easy time using the scroll saw with no injuries or damage to your design.
