Jig Saws

Jigsaws use a straight blade that moves up and down to cut lumber, walls, floors, and ceilings in straight and curved cuts. They are lightweight and can cut both horizontally and vertically. A flat plate lies on the workpiece in jigsaws. The forward-facing blade of the blade is placed perpendicular to the plate and cuts material as the saw is pushed across the workpiece. When a larger tool is not available, these portable tools can be taken to the workpiece. The straight blade is narrower than other handheld saws, allowing users to cut curves and join corners more precisely. Jigsaws that are corded require a wired power supply and have a longer run duration than cordless instruments. Cordless jigsaws contain a rechargeable battery and may be used without a power source, making them easier to transport about a jobsite. Carpentry, construction, and other trades use jigsaws.
