Almost every man had to cut some kind of material in his life: wood, plastic, metal, etc.. They did this either with the help of an ordinary hacksaw, if it was wood or various materials based on it, hacksaws, if you sawed metal parts or sheet metal, grinder or other materials.
One of the tools has to be cut for a long time and with great physical effort, others are faster - all the same grinder. In general, power tools cut material much faster and more conveniently, although they are usually quite specialized in the type of material or the dimensions of the sheet or part.
One of the versatile power tools that can be used for most of the different materials that you may need in construction and repair is a jigsaw.
With it, you can saw off a piece of board or plastic, cut a hole in the sheet material, and not necessarily even. With a jigsaw, as it is more commonly called, even if there is power from the electrical network, you can cut off a part of a metal sheet or parquet or laminate, even a piece of a bolt or stud can be sawn off or a professional pipe. All in all, a useful tool.
The advantage is that it usually weighs a little and is quite compact.
Consumables are quite affordable, and jigsaw files can be found in a variety of materials. But in general, we want to tell not about all electric jigsaws, but about a specific model of the DEFORT DJS-505-B jigsaw.
This jigsaw model is cheap and almost anyone can afford it, even with the most limited budget.
The power of this power tool is very small - only 350 watts. This is very small for a professional tool in this area, but for domestic needs it will be enough for most people.
The engine of this jigsaw is enough to develop the speed of the saw blade up to 3000 strokes per minute. At the request of the manufacturers, with this tool, you can saw a wooden board up to 55 mm thick or metal up to 5 mm. Let's say right away that this is possible, but the speed will be such that there may not be enough patience for all the work.
The DEFORT DJS-505-B jigsaw is lightweight, only 1.6 kg, which is very important when working at height, standing on a ladder or stepladder, when the tool has to be held on weight for a long time.
As with other tools, this jigsaw has a speed adjustment, as well as blocking the speed of the saw blade.
If you need to make a 45-degree cut, you can adjust the soleplate to the desired angle.
Also, when selling a tool through a retail network, you will receive a wood file for this electric jigsaw, a parallel guide for cutting pieces of materials specified in width, a hex key for replacing files, and an additional set of brushes.
