Scroll cutting is the process of cutting intricate, curved patterns and shapes in a workpiece, usually using a band saw or scroll saw. Scroll cutting requires a narrow, flexible blade and precise control over the cutting speed and workpiece feed to achieve clean, accurate cuts without breaking the blade or damaging the workpiece. Scroll cutting is commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and plastic fabrication applications for creating decorative elements, inlays, or intricate components.
