How to Make Fine Cuts with a Ryobi Jigsaw 

A fine or clean cut requires the right blade and proper technique. 

Choose the Correct Blade 

• Use a fine finish blade with a less aggressive tooth pattern for smooth, precise cuts. 
• Blades with higher TPI (teeth per inch) produce finer cuts:  

- 18–24 TPI blades are ideal for fine and ultra-fine finishes. 

• Ryobi offers a 20-piece Wood & Metal Jigsaw Blade Set (RJBWM20S), which includes fine and ultra-fine finish blades for a variety of projects. 

Cutting Technique 

• Operate the jigsaw smoothly and steadily—avoid moving too fast or too slow. 
• Practice on an offcut or scrap piece before cutting your final workpiece. 
• Set the pendulum (orbital) action to a low setting to reduce aggressiveness and improve cut quality. 
• Keep the saw shoe firmly in contact with the material for stability and accuracy.
