Electric jigsaw is a cutting tool driven by an electric motor. The jigsaw’s working organ is a relatively narrow saw blade that makes vertical reciprocating movements. The design features of the jigsaw allow you to use it to perform fine straight and curved cuts, as well as cutting holes of any shape in the workpiece.
The cleanliness of the cutting edge will depend on the selected saw blade and the set sawing mode (depth of pendulum stroke).
Capabilities of the jigsaw
The need for tasks of this kind may arise in the implementation of construction and repair work, furniture making and housekeeping. Using the jigsaw allows you to quickly and accurately saw out of sheet material blanks with any complex contour, quickly and accurately cut connecting elements, perform oblique cuts for angular jointing of parts and perform many other operations. The jigsaw is handy for fitting joints of panelboard lumber.
The jigsaw is indispensable in the manufacture of openwork decorative interior objects such as shelves, furniture fronts. Due to the fact that the jigsaw is fixed to the rod only at one end and has a small width, it is possible to cut holes without breaking the outer contour of the part.
To cut closed shapes (holes) on the surface of the workpiece you will need to drill a start hole with a diameter not less than the diameter of the jigsaw blade. Sometimes it is advisable to make the start hole with an indentation from the contour line of the figure to be cut out.
The jigsaw can effectively cut wood, sheet metal, plastics, laminate, drywall and ceramic tiles. For each type of material, appropriate interchangeable saw blades are used. With the right saw blade You can even cut hard and fragile materials such as ceramics and glass with your jigsaw.
Low power, ease of use and versatility make the electric jigsaw the optimal cutting tool for the home workshop. So sooner or later the question arises of choosing and buying an electric jigsaw, which greatly expands the possibilities for the craftsman.
