Jigsaw Tools
A jigsaw is a type of reciprocating saw that uses a pull and push motion when cutting. These specialist tools can create curved lines in wood, metal, plastic and ceramic. Jigsaws have downwards-facing blades and are fitted with a jig to guide cutting.
What are Power Jigsaws Used For?
These versatile power saws have a wide range of uses. You can make precise, curved cuts and scrolling lines in various materials, from wood and plastic to sheet metal and tiles. Most models have tool-free blade change mechanisms and varying speed settings for cutting different materials. Power jigsaws are more precise than other reciprocating saws.

Efficiently cut through materials with an electric jigsaw. Choose from mains-powered, cordless or battery-operated models for mobile working and maximum flexibility. You’ll find a wide range of jigsaw tools at Toolstation from quality brands such as Festool, Makita and DeWalt.
FAQs
What features should I look for when choosing a jigsaw?
Key features include variable speed control, orbital action (for faster cuts), bevel-adjustable baseplate (for angled cuts), tool-free blade change, dust-extraction port, and compatibility with T-shank blades.
What types of blades do I need for different materials?
- Coarse-tooth blades for fast cuts in softwood/plywood
- Fine-tooth or carbide/metal blades for plastic, non-ferrous metals or aluminium
- Special blades (e.g., for ceramic) if required.
Ensure your jigsaw tool accepts the blade type before purchase and use.
What’s the difference between a “jig saw” and other saws like circular or reciprocating?
A jigsaw excels at cut-outs, curves and bevels where a circular saw struggles. It’s slower for large straight cuts but far more versatile for detailed work.
