Jigsaws

If you need a portable power tool to make scroll cuts or plunge into a workpiece to cut out holes for a letter box, sink, or vent, a jig saw is the best tool for the job. Using a narrow blade allows you to follow curves with very little effort from the controlling hand and with so many different types of blades available jigsaws can cut wood, metal, plastics, and sandwich materials. There are two handle designs of electric and cordless jig saws, top handle, and body grip. Top handle jig saws are easy to control single-handedly and are the most popular jigsaws sold in the U.K. Body grip jigsaws are often used with two hands when the machine is resting on top of the workpiece, one hand placed on top of the gearbox and the other at the rear end of the machine which allows the tool to be steered like the rudder of a boat, body grip jig saws are often regarded as the purists jig saw as they are considered to be easier to make precision cuts with. Body grip jig saws can also be used with one hand especially when used to make cuts from the underside of the material, this cutting technique means only the blade is visible to the user which allows an unobstructed view of the cut line. Cordless jig saws, like all battery-powered tools offer the user convenience and safety as there are no cables to trip on or get in the way during use.
