Jigsaws are designed to make a variety of cuts including straight crosscuts and intricate curved and scrolling lines. They use a single straight blade to cut a huge range of materials. Most models have adjustable baseplates for cutting mitres and bevels.
Small and light, they can be operated single-handedly and used to achieved detailed results. Variable speed settings make it easy to tailor the speed to suit the material you’re cutting, operating at slower speeds on materials like metal and faster speeds on materials like wood. This helps to achieve a cleaner cut and keeps the machine and material cooler.
Most jigsaw tools have quick blade change systems to keep downtime to a minimum.
