Jigsaws are designed to cut a range of different materials, including wood, metal, plastics, foam and rubber. The type of blade used with the jigsaw will dictate what can be cut. In professional applications, or where cleaner cuts are required an orbital action (or pendulum) jigsaw is preferable. Another advantage of orbital action jigsaws is that they reduce blade breakages.
- The key differences between jigaws is whether to select the top handle or body grip and whether you need a jigsaw specifically designed for metalworking.
