Bandsaw vs Scroll Saw: All Purpose or the Fine Woodworkers tool

[@sandrinericordeau1388]

*Perfect band saw for the hobby enthusiast **MyBest.Tools** Easy to set up and square. 😂😀😂😀Had it😎 running in 10 to 15 minutes. Quality of cuts will depend on the🤣🤣🤣 quality of the blades.*

[@CornbreadXVX]

Perfect video. I searched "Whats the difference between a scroll and band saw" and this was the first one listed. Short, sweet, and to the point. Excellent. Thank you for the help. Now Im off to Home Depot to buy them both..haha. Take care.

[@SawsHub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@diplayball]

Same here and his was the best video that I watched🤗

[@jackluzin826]

Same here, excellent video.

[@CoolKidsArt]

Thank you for such a clean presentation. Crystal clear!

[@prepareforit7323]

Came here to learn which kind of saw I should by, and was mesmerized by the fight between your shirt and the camera. That's a pretty crazy effect!

[@SawsHub]

Haha, yeah its a bit like being at a disco! 🙃

[@willb3698]

you like specifics, yes? that effect is called "The Moire Effect".

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

I wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't read your comment. Now I can't stop seeing it lol.

[@jasonlara]

Excellent video! Thanks for taking to time to cover both these saws. I now know the difference.

[@edenandkoi]

This was such a helpful video. Thank you!

[@SawsHub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@uncut_cowboy]

Wonderful video man, thanks for all the clear concise info.

[@SawsHub]

Glad it was helpful!

[@solowithcats]

Clear and informative. Thank you!

[@juanminute4811]

This is very helpful! Thank you kind sir.

[@SawsHub]

You're very welcome!

[@dawnabbott3783]

I am still indecisive, not because you did not cover the differences excellently, but I have seen tutorials using both saws to make boxes. Does this just depend on how big I want the boxes?

[@SawsHub]

If you're making boxes, go with a bandsaw.

[@lliebe8585]

Thank you your videos. Could a scroll saw cut plexiglass or pvc or would It just melt? Can scroll saw cut a shape from the center of a piece of material, or must it start at an edge? Same questions for band saw and jigsaw. What kind of maintenance do each of these require or replacement blades that sort of thing? Do you have favorite brands you’d like to recommend?

[@SawsHub]

A variable speed scroll saw set to a very low speed could cut plexi and PVC. You have to drill a hole to start from the center. We have articles on our favorites at sawshub.com!

[@thelazychefuk4410]

I have the Einhell scroll saw. I use it expressly to cut acrylic/plexiglass, old CDs and other recycled plastic. I find having the speed turned right up is best, but I guess that is up to the worker. Thinner plastics do not melt but the thicker stuff does. To remedy this you can cover it with painters tape or any other tape, not duct tape though that leaves residue.

[@leroymontano9080]

Im glad im getting both ,very nice video

[@travisgillespie2819]

Very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍

[@notny41]

Is that an old Marantz receiver back there?

[@kenpearson9893]

Very well explained

[@andrizeefoshizee]

Thank you so much for making this video!

[@SawsHub]

You are so welcome!

[@pmacc3557]

Thank you sir! I think a scroll saw will do me for now..

[@SWTWHITEGSR]

Nice video ! Now i know what saw i want .

[@SWTWHITEGSR]

I have tried looking on KZbin for videos that do angle some of us aint good at angle's . Ive decided to get center point and use a string i really suck at measurements .wondered if you had any trick. Every KZbin video has it the proper form but not angles for dummies.lol i seen behind you you had that wood with 2x4 and with angle and center 2x4 .

[@SawsHub]

Thanks for the question, that's a good topic for a new video!

[@SWTWHITEGSR]

Yes i figured you would be good at making a video .you're very detailed and another issue is making cuts i was making 80 degree cut with a 7 degree cut that crosses it.i used table saw but it was dangerous how i am doing cuts. This is being done on a 2x4. That's why i was debating on what saw to get .

[@corrydriscoll6920]

Thanks the helpful tips!

[@SawsHub]

Happy to help!

[@plisoldier]

Thank you kind sir. Would be nice if you can recommend which machine to buy if I decide to buy either of the two..

[@SawsHub]

Sure, here you go: sawshub.com/best-band-saw/ sawshub.com/best-scroll-saw/

[@plisoldier]

SawsHub DIY Woodworking Tips Thank you very much again.. so you recommend the Dewalt DW788 as the best overall scroll saw?

[@SawsHub]

@@plisoldier Correct

[@BeeReady247]

Great info

[@chroma6947]

Are these good for thin 0.5mm aluminium? I know woodworking and aluminium use similar tools as it isnt a very strong metal. Thanks

[@chroma6947]

Im talking about the scroll saw by the way

[@SawsHub]

Wood is much less flexible than 0.5 mm aluminum. I would expect that aluminum would flex quite a bit. Given that, none of these solutions would be ideal on a surface that flexible. They would tend to crack and peel off.

[@willb3698]

And don't forget to wear EYE Protection and A mask, especially when processing Toxic materials like MDF. (Medium Density FibreBoard - toxic glue and tiny fibres). This should be your very first step when using power tools that can chip off material at high velocity. Also: Please don't think woods are neutral, always check the online Wood Database or Similar for safety info. These videos are GREAT but this 101 step is omitted.

[@minty5585]

How is your critique relevant? This isn’t an instructional video, it’s very clearly a simple comparison between two machines.

[@SawsHub]

Agree with @Minty. Will's points are true, but this video isn't intended to show you how to use either of these tools (obviously). It is meant to help you pick which saw you need for which project. If you want, please make sure to watch our instructional How to videos for both the Bandsaw and Scroll Saw.

This guy looks like he can build a deck and a 1/16th scale of las vegas in an afternoon..

Get your goddam fingers AWAY from the blade.
