What Is Jig Scroll Sawing Machinery?
Jig scroll sawing machinery is a motorized version of a thread saw, which is an integrated tool with a table on which materials are placed.
The motor drives the saw up and down, and the operator moves the material on the table and presses it against the saw to cut and process it. It can process various materials such as wood, plastic, and metal, and can cut along fine curves and cut hollows, among other power tools.
There are three types of jig scroll sawing machinery: spring type, in which a motor pulls the blade downward and a spring pulls it back upward; parallel arm type, in which a motor moves the arm that supports both ends of the blade up and down; and parallel link type, which is an improved version of the parallel arm in which the arm moves back and forth and the tip moves up and down.
How to Use Jig Scroll Sawing Machinery
Select the blade of the thread saw according to the material to be processed and the processing details.
With the outlet unplugged, set up the thread saw. First, tighten the lower blade stopper screw under the table, then set the upper blade stopper lever to secure the blade.
Turn on the jig scroll sawing machinery to start the operation. The saw blade will move up and down like a sewing machine needle. Place the material on the table, apply the blade to the part to be cut, and push the material out while holding it from above with both hands.
Since the saw is moving automatically, it is important to work slowly and surely without taking your eyes off the part to be cut for your safety.
How to Choose Jig Scroll Sawing Machinery
Jig scroll sawing machinery comes in various sizes, from small tabletop machines to large stationary machines.
The criteria for selecting the size of jig scroll sawing machinery is the foothold dimension, which is the distance from the saw blade to the arm. Select jig scroll sawing machinery with sufficient margin for the material.
The performance of jig scroll sawing machinery is determined by the number of strokes, which is the number of times the saw blade moves up and down per minute, and the stroke width, which is the width of the saw blade. For both the number of strokes and stroke width, the higher the number, the faster the work speed. However, since jig scroll sawing machinery with a larger stroke width requires a larger size, the size of the jig scroll sawing machinery and the stroke width must be considered in conjunction.
For the stroke speed, wood is generally processed at high speed, while plastic and metal are processed at low speed. There are also jigsaw machines with adjustable strokes, so if you want to cover a variety of materials and processing details, you should choose a jigsaw machine with adjustable strokes.
