The jigsaw can be used to make both straight and curved cuts in a wide variety of materials, including wood, particleboard, plywood, plastic, metal, even ceramic tile. It's also safe and easy to use, which is why it's often the very first power saw a new DIYer buys. Yet despite its versatility, the jigsaw is arguably the most underused power tool in the shop. Often it's used only to make the occasional curved cut, but this tool can do much more.
Key Features
The most common jigsawing mistake is not using the correct wood-cutting blade for the task at hand.
It's easy to pick the wrong blade, especially for novice DIYers, because jigsaw blades come in dozens of widths, lengths, and tooth configurations.
There are two general rules to keep in mind here: First, wider blades are best for making long, straight cuts, and narrow blades are better for cutting curves.
Second, blades with larger and fewer teeth cut extremely fast but produce a rough, splintered surface.
Blades with smaller teeth but more of them cut slower but leave behind a smoother surface.
