Jigsaws

Learn more about jigsaws

A jigsaw uses a reciprocating blade to cut along straight, curved and intricate lines, which makes it the go-to saw for work a circular saw or handsaw can't handle. The blade you fit and the settings you use matter as much as the tool itself, so it pays to match both to the material and the finish you're after.

Cordless jigsaws give you movement and access on site without a fixed power point, while mains models offer consistent run time for longer sessions. A top handle jigsaw puts the grip up top for close, controlled work, which suits detailed cuts. Features like variable speed and orbital action let you tune the tool to different materials, from timber to metal.

Typical uses

• Cutting curved and intricate lines in timber and sheet materials.

• Making sink, socket or service cut-outs where accuracy matters.

• Trimming boards and panels on site or in the workshop.

• Using a cordless jigsaw for jobs where movement and access beat a fixed power point.

• Choosing a top handle jigsaw when you want close control for detailed cuts.

How to choose the right jigsaw

• Match the saw to the material you cut most often, whether that's wood, laminate, metal or mixed materials.

• Decide between cordless and mains power based on access, run time and how you work on site.

• Look for variable speed if you need better control through different materials and cut types.

• Consider orbital action if you want faster cutting in the right applications.

• Check blade compatibility so you can fit the jigsaw blades for wood or other materials the job calls for.

• Choose the grip style that suits your work, such as a top handle jigsaw for precision or a different body shape for longer cuts.

Before you order

• Check the product specifications so the jigsaw is suitable for your material and application.

• Review whether you need a cordless jigsaw, a top handle jigsaw or a different jigsaw tool layout.

• Think about blade type, dust extraction and any guide features if they affect your finish and site conditions.

• Make sure you know what's included with the tool and which blades or accessories you may need separately.
