What Does a Jigsaw Do? 

A jigsaw is a versatile power tool designed for cutting a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, plastic and even drywall, when fitted with the appropriate blade. It uses a reciprocating blade that moves up and down to make cuts,  

Compared to other powered saws, jigsaws are notably agile and easy to control, making them ideal for detailed work and cutting complex shapes. 

Main Strengths of a Jigsaw 

  • Versatility: Capable of straight cuts, curved cuts, bevel cuts and plunge cuts, making it suitable for a variety of projects. 
  • Material Range: Works on timber, sheet metal, plastics and other materials with the correct blade. 
  • Precision: Ideal for intricate shapes and detailed work where other saws would struggle. 
  • Adjustability: Features such as variable speed and orbital settings allow you to tailor the cut for speed or finish quality. 
  • Compact and Portable: Easy to handle and maneuvre, perfect for jobs where space is limited or cuts are complex.
