Kuviosahat

Kuviosahat, also known as scroll saws, are power tools designed for making intricate cuts in wood and other materials. They operate with a thin, reciprocating blade that moves up and down at high speed. This allows for precise curves, sharp corners, and detailed internal cuts that would be difficult or impossible with other saw types. The blade is typically held under tension by two arms, and its stroke length and speed can often be adjusted to suit different materials and cutting tasks.

The main components of a kuviosaha include a motor that drives the blade mechanism, a table where the material is placed and guided, and the blade assembly itself. The table is usually flat and can be tilted to allow for bevel cuts. Many kuviosahat also feature a dust collection port to help keep the work area clean and improve visibility.

Kuviosahat are favored by hobbyists, woodworkers, and craftspeople for tasks such as creating decorative inlays, fretwork, puzzles, and intricate scrollwork. They are also used in the production of models and miniatures. The choice of blade is crucial for achieving good results; different blade types and tooth configurations are available for cutting various thicknesses and types of wood, as well as plastics and thin metals. Safety features, such as blade guards and eye protection, are essential when operating a kuviosaha.
