Fret saw is the same tool in the house as a hammer, screwdriver and pliers. The mechanical tool was replaced by an electric one, which greatly facilitated the work of the master, but how to choose an electric jig saw for the house will be told in this article.
Criterias of choice
Those who are interested in how to choose the right electric jig saw should be noted:
- Tool power. Well, if the universal model for all occasions power will be within 400-700 watts, and otherwise should rely on what kind of work it is intended for.
- The number of strokes per minute and the ability to adjust the stroke frequency. The best electric jigsaw is the one that is able to perform up to 3100-3400 strokes per minute, because this will determine the quality of the cut and the time it takes to work. By adjusting the stroke frequency, the tool can be set to saw a variety of materials.
- The mechanism of fixing the file. The fact is that they are both universal and intended for only one type of saw.
- Quick and simple change of cutting tools. You can cut logs, plywood, plexiglass, ceramic tiles, etc. with a jig saw. Transform an ordinary electric tool into a jigsaw for metal, by installing a special saw and decreasing the speed.
- Weight and design of the handle. They will largely determine the usability of the tool. In addition, a small electric jigsaw will be held where it can not get a large tool.
- Availability of the sawdust selection system. The waste generated during operation conceals the cutting line underneath, and the selection system removes sawdust on the way in time.
These are the selection criteria. Of course, for professional work it is better to purchase a special tool.
