Skil Jigsaw Video
A jigsaw can make cuts in wood, metals or plastics. Some of the newer saws feature a laser guide. A great help with those straight cuts. A few jig saws have a built-in light above the blade. Great for seeing the line you have to follow.
A scrolling feature allows you to rotate the blade independent of the jigsaw! A five-position orbital cut control allows adjustments for rough to finish cuts.
Some have quick change saw blades. No screw to mess with when changing blades. A built-in dust blower moves the sawdust away from the blade so you can see the line you are following.
This particular power saw has an onboard storage compartment for extra blades. Look for all of these features when you purchase your next orbital jigsaw.
