Reciprocating saws

These tools are best for cutting various materials like wood, metal, plastic and aluminum quickly. SKIL Jigsaws meet all challenges with power and low vibration. Find out which saw is the right tool for the job.

Reciprocating saws are real problem solvers. Thanks to their built-in design and expanding blade, they are able to cut even in tight spaces, for example cutting pipes and beams, but also cutting branches.

How to achieve the best possible sawing result

Let the saw do the work for you. If you push the saw forward too hard, the blade will move more slowly and your work will slow down.

How to use the speed control of the jigsaw.

If your jigsaw has a speed control switch, you can change the speed of the saw to suit different materials. As a rule of thumb, a higher speed is used for cutting fast or soft materials such as wood, composite materials and plastic. Low speed is used for precise or hard sawing of materials such as sheet metal or metal pipes.

What is the pendulum function of the jigsaw used for?

If the jigsaw has a pendulum function, the blade not only moves up and down but also forward and backward, so the saw can cut straight faster. A larger pendulum movement therefore speeds up sawing. A smaller pendulum movement, on the other hand, guarantees a neater sawing mark.

The cordless jigsaw gives you complete mobility and freedom

The most significant advantage of a cordless jigsaw is the mobility it offers. Without the restrictions of the power cord, you can move freely in the working area, which makes working smoother and more efficient. This is especially useful on construction sites, renovation sites or when working outdoors, where electrical plugs are not always readily available.

Tips for using the SKIL jigsaw

1. Choose the right blade: Different materials require different blades. Be sure to use the correct blade for the material being cut for optimal results.
2. Adjust the speed: Take advantage of the adjustable speed of the jigsaw with different materials. A slower speed is suitable for harder materials, while a faster speed is suitable for softer materials.
3. Fix the material securely: Make sure that the material to be cut is firmly attached and on a stable base. This improves the surgical result and safety.
4. Use protective equipment: Always remember to wear safety glasses and hearing protection when working with a jigsaw. This will protect you from possible injuries.
