The BORT BPS-500-P electric jigsaw is a compact hand tool for straight and figured cutting of wood up to 55 mm thick, as well as metal, plastic and other sheet materials.
The jigsaw is equipped with a relatively weak motor - 400 W and a smooth speed controller. If we consider the entire mass of electric jigsaws in our building tool stores, then the indicated power is probably the smallest. Accordingly, you should not count on the high cutting speed and the great capabilities of this power tool.
Despite the fact that this electric jigsaw is a budget model, it has a large number of elements that are not often found in cheap jigsaw models.
Due to the fact that you can easily change the speed of the file, you can always choose the right one.
the frequency of movement of the file under the material of a specific density. The harder the material, the slower the speed should be.
Also, in the process of adjusting the jigsaw for a specific material, do not forget to choose the right file.
In the model described, you can also adjust the angle of the sole. This allows you to cut the material at a certain angle to the surface of the material. True, like most jigsaws, the angles of inclination are fixed (either 90 or 45 degrees in both directions).
To increase the cutting speed, the tool has a pendulum mode, which can not be found in every tool. This mode significantly increases the speed of cutting material.
To ensure that the fingers do not get tired during prolonged work, the jigsaw has a fixation of the start button.
In the process of work, especially when sawing wood, a very large amount of sawdust appears. In order not to litter the room on the tool there is a special pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner. A very useful feature by the way.
When selling a tool, a saw blade, a parallel stop and a set of spare brushes are included with the jigsaw.
Externally, the model has a body made of turquoise plastic and a jigsaw can be confused with Makita. On the handle, which is located horizontally, there is a rubberized pad that provides increased friction and does not allow the hand to slip when working in hot conditions.
A protective screen is also available on this model. Moreover, it is not rectangular, but beveled downwards - with a wedge.
The sole of the jigsaw is stamped.
The power supply of the jigsaw is standard - from the mains 220 V. On the electric cord, you will also find a mount with a hex key for files. The mount allows you not to worry that at the right moment you will have to look for a key to replace the file for a long time.
