What is it?

This saw uses a reciprocating blade to cut irregular curves, such as stenciled designs, in wood, metal, or other materials.

Jigsaws first emerged in the 19th century and employed a treadle to operate the blade. The modern portable jigsaw was introduced in 1947 by Scintilla AG (later acquired by Bosch).

A jigsaw power tool is made up of an electric motor and a reciprocating saw blade. Jigsaws with sole plates that have a beveling function can cut angles typically up to 45 degrees relative to the normal vertical stroke to make miter joints. In the past, what are now usually called scroll saws were often referred to as jigsaws. Today they are electrically powered and have been largely displaced by portable power jigsaws.

What is it used for?

This saw can be used to cut various materials including wood, metal, and plastics as long as the correct blade is installed. This saw may not be provided with blades and you will need to get a suitable blade to carry out the task you will be using it for.
