Abstract
A scroll saw includes a base, a worktable mounted to the base, a sliding plate slidably mounted on the worktable and a cutting assembly mounted to the base. A cutting slot is defined between the worktable and the sliding plate for a saw blade of the cutting assembly to pass therethrough. When the sliding plate is moved relative to the worktable to an appropriate position or is removed from the worktable, the saw blade can be changed easily and conveniently.
