In this article, we want to talk about one of the models of stationary jigsaws, in particular the Proxxon DS 460. This electric jigsaw is made with a cast iron frame, on the one hand, this increased the weight of the tool, on the other hand, it reduces vibration from the electric motor to almost a minimum. The number in the marking indicates the tool overhang in mm and means that the jigsaw can process parts up to 460 mm wide. Larger parts can also be processed more precisely, just from the edge to the cut point should be no more than 460 mm.
This electric jigsaw is designed for finishing metal, plastic and wood products. With a 205W brushless motor, the jigsaw runs at a very low noise level. The tool has a chip blowing system, so you will always have a good view of the cut. Like most modern woodworking tools, the jigsaw has an adapter for connecting a vacuum cleaner. Thanks to this, you can use Proxxon DS 460 even in a city apartment without
afraid that sawdust will scatter throughout the apartment.
It is also worth noting the presence in the kit of special clamps that allow you to use saw blades for a conventional manual jigsaw as consumables in the tool. This is very convenient, since the files for manual jigsaws are unified in size and can be found in almost every building tool store.
The tool is characterized by easy replacement of saw blades. At the same time, using a special adjusting handle, you can adjust the degree of tension of the tool blade.
Compared to conventional manual jigsaws, the Proxxon DS 460 allows you to cut material much faster. In addition, we note that since the file is stretched, it does not bend during the sawing process and the cut is obtained strictly perpendicular to the plane of the material. However, there will be problems with cutting blind holes. Each time you will need to unscrew the file and insert it into a pre-drilled hole to fix it.
It is also worth noting that it is not worth comparing this tool in terms of technical parameters with various manual jigsaws. The fact is that this scope of application is different for them and the corresponding conditions for use are different. Manual jigsaws are more suitable for construction, and stationary jigsaws for production.
