Are jig, sabre, and scroll saws the same?
"Sabre saw" is only used for this kind of tool, "jig saw" in the last few
decades is coming to be used this way but before was the stationary tool, and "scroll saw" is used only for the stationary one. Not to be confusing with an auto-scrolling jig/sabresaw. Both of those blades are for a sabre/jig saw. Sometimes companies use different names in weird ways. I'd guess the one with two holes is so older saws with a different setscrew can use them. The stationary tool blades are like coping saw blades. GTO(John) Hi, I have two items, and I am trying to determine what they are for. Here is a pictu http://www.mallology.lunarpages.com/blades.html One is a pack of 5 blades, called "Sabre Saw Blades". They are 2-3" long, and have universal shanks. Each shank has two holes in it. One hole is smaller than the other. The other is a pack of 5 blades, called "Jigsaw Blades". They are almost 4" long, have universal shanks, but with only one hole per shank. Are jig, sabre, and scroll saws all the same? Are these blades above interchangeable? Thanks for any help! Stephanie |
