FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Scroll saws are one of the most versatile power tools; using the appropriate blade and cutting technique, one can cut nearly any material with precision. Popular and prolific woodworking authors Spielman here expands and improves his 1986 classic, The Scroll Saw Handbook. He starts by describing the types and parts of saws and shows the many types of cuts they can do. Many currently manufactured and some historic saws are described, as are numerous accessories (with much information about both saw and blade selection). Spielman shows how to perform a remarkable number of sawing operations with materials of all types and thicknesses; many new techniques have been developed since the first edition. For example, the section on cutting plastics is now ten pages long instead of two and a half, and it contains a tremendous amount of specific information. Scroll saws are one of the most popular power tools available; because they are versatile, are relatively safe, and come in numerous reasonably priced models, even beginners can justify their purchase. This excellent title is a definite improvement upon the first edition and belongs in all public libraries. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
