Table Jig Saws
A table jigsaw is a tool used for cutting arbitrary curves, such as stenciled designs or other custom shapes, into a piece of wood or similar material. Table Jig saws are extremely versatile and handy tools. They combine many of the functions of a band saw and a scroll saw into one. It is usually used in a more artistic fashion than other saws, which only cut in straight lines and exist mainly to cut pieces of wood to length for building structure.
Table jigsaws are power tools, made up of an electric motor and a reciprocating saw blade. A table jigsaw can be used to cut a variety of materials. The most useful feature of the modern table jigsaw is "stroke" which is used to alternate between fine cutting and rough cutting. Most table jigsaws have variable speed control which will aid the cutting of the chosen material.
Plunge cutting with a table jigsaw requires a high degree of skill and should be practiced using scrap material first. A table jigsaw with a bevel function allows angles typically of up to 45 degrees relative to the normal vertical stroke. There are two main blade types, standard and Bosch. A standard blade has a hole in it. Bosch brand blades have bumps along the edges.
