Jig Saw Blades

Jigsaw blades are straight, with a cutting edge on one side, and are used to carve niches or apertures in walls or doors, perform demolition work, and cut shapes in wood and metal. The jigsaw is attached to the blade shank, and the blade is moved up and down by the saw, cutting the workpiece on the up stroke. Longer blades allow for thicker workpieces to be sliced.
