What is a Jigsaw?

A jigsaw is a handheld power tool used for cutting curves and intricate shapes in wood, metal, plastic, and other materials. It consists of a reciprocating blade that moves up and down rapidly, powered by an electric motor. Jigsaws are versatile tools that can make both straight and curved cuts, depending on the blade and the user’s skill. They are commonly used in woodworking and metalworking, as well as for cutting out patterns in various materials.
