The
Jigsaw Is An Important Woodworking Tool
The
jigsaw has made cabinet making, crafting
and many other intricate cutting tasks much
easier. Sometimes ideas for power tools come
from the strangest places and this is certainly
one example. In 1946, a Bosch employee came
up with the idea of attaching a saw blade to
his wife’s sewing machine. The saw blade
darting up and down in place of the needle
gave birth to this versatile tool design.
Today, woodworking with a jigsaw in the tool
cabinet is a given. These saws are used for cutting
shapes and intricate designs in boards and panels.
Before the portable jigsaw, wookworkers used
tools such as the hand coping saw to accomplish
these tasks. These tools have evolved just as
other power tools have over the 55 years.
One
of the most popular models of the dewalt jigsaw
today is the cordless jigsaw. This saw uses
a high-powered 18V battery. The saw employees
a keyless chuck and a built-in dust blower. The
saw has a 1“ stroke and the adjustable
shoe bevels up to 45 degrees in either direction.
The
Modern Bosch Jigsaw Is Still An Industry Leader
The
bosch jigsaw is still an innovative leader
in the marketplace. Today, the company offers
a variety of saw configurations, including
the top handle, barrel grip and the 24V cordless
models. These models are a long way from the
experimental sewing machine fitted with a saw
blade and would certainly be a welcome addition
to any woodworker’s tool cabinet.
The jigsaw makes intricate cutting work much
easier. Challenging patterns and designs become
a snap with a jigsaw.
