Endless Possibilities

Many people don't know that you can cut so many materials besides wood on a scroll saw. We'd like to think now about all of the other possibilities. In fact, the list seems endless: paper, Plexiglass®, metals, leather, cloth, glass, and so many more that we just don't have room to list. "How about metals?" you might ask. The scroll saw will cut nonferrous metals with ease. The easiest metals to find arc aluminum and copper; they come in thin sheets and rolls that arc sold as roof flashing. They are just the right thickness to cut easily, and are also perfect for making ornaments and stencils.
