When to scroll saw versus band saw – What thickness of wood can a scroll saw handle?
I am a fledgling woodworker, and have never used either a band saw OR a scroll saw. But I’m at the crossroads where straight cuts and rough jigsaw cuts are no longer enough. For my next project I want to tackle that U.S. Quarter Collection/State map. I assume that a scroll saw is the instrument of choice, but can anyone please explain to me the role of the scroll saw versus that of the band saw, and how or when you choose one over the other? In particular, I am curious about the depth of wood that a scroll saw will comfortably cut. Thanks very much in advance …
