Although both are kinds of saws, bandsaws and scroll saws are very different, both in construction and usage. Scroll saws have ultrathin blades with downward-facing teeth, and are predominantly used for intricately detailed work, such as preparing inlay and dovetail joints, cutting fragile curves and corners, or removing excess material. This contrasts with bandsaws’ often larger, flexible blades, which feature long-toothed metal sheets. Able to cut both small and more substantial pieces of lumber, metal cutting bandsaws can easily handle straight and curved pieces.
