Well, since a scroll saw is designed to cut curves, perhaps it's not
surprising they don't cut straight.

Jigsaws are designed to cut curves, too.

It just doesn't make sense, but that's what they say. Apparently they
are assuming the straight cut is going to be made more quickly with less
care. Otherwise you couldn't make accurate curved cuts either.
