Yes, he is! I think that all the time. 😊

Love that New England accent. "Sawr".

One Festool brand jigsaw - cheapest I could find - $315. Or 10 of those other saws Tommy mentioned.

I just purchased a black and decker jig and it was 25$ to cut my laminate counter top. Did the job perfectly and it has the vacuum attachment. That was nice for a chap saw

After 3:37 is gold!! I have an orbital jig saw and couldn't figure out how to see the cutting action.

I used a jigsaw that was a floor standing unit, basically a heavy-duty version of a scroll saw. I actually made a jigsaw puzzle on it. The handheld model was always known as a saber saw

Excellent explanations. I can only clap my hands and say thank you...thank you.

Excellent video. Thanks so much!

thank you for all those information . God bless

Cordless Barrel grip is the way to go, it makes it much easier to hold onto. DeWalt DCS335 is a good all round choice. Makita XVJ01Z is excellent and very accurate, but less powerful. Max speed with no oscillation for the best fine wood cuts.

These guys are awesome!

Hi there from Portugal, Nice info :D Obrigado(Thanks)

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the info 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thank-you.

good tips thanks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Use a jig for rough cuts only and stay out beyond the line. Also you really have to hold on to the thing and bear down to keep it from wandering and minimize vibration!

Wish I had known bought the blades that cut up and down when I was cutting some laminated

good lesson from the pros.

Hello,i have a jigsaw and the blade clamping system is broken (the clamping sistem has 2 screw , and 1 of them broke the thread) what can i do ?

The Bosch barrel... the best!

Don't like the barrel grip I like the D handle

we are 16year old twins with our own woodworking business, mainly silhouette type things cut from plywood from life size moose or elk to tiny hummingbirds, we use a jigsaw for 75% of our work, have tryed many brands but the first one we bought from a garage sale 6+years ago for $1. has out lasted all others and is still our #1 saw, as for blades we mainly use only 1 type of blade a Bosch scroll style blade, it leaves ALL edges as smooth as your best sanding. cost is much higher but we save on sandpaper,and power sanders etc. We also us a blade runner style table saw that uses jigsaw blades, that saw works great for all our smaller projects but the motor over heats and burns out quite quickly, that is our #1 issue , do u know of another type of table type saw, [any brand] that works like the rockwell blade runner saw, its good our business is going good cause we go though a blade runner saw motor about every 6 weeks. we already have a pile of 20+ broken down saws, after 5 returns stores won't exchange the saws.

I have a craftsman jig saw and the u blade broke inside the holder and I can't remove the broken part. Any tricks I didn't think of doing.

Probably depends on what kind of holder but hopefully you've figured it out by now.

Why is everyone surprised he likes festool? First he is on TV, second he is a carpenter and I believe he does some personal wood working at home and have you used festool? They aren’t bad tools

what if the jig saw blade is able to move side to side and twist in the saw mount is that normal.

@josephbrouillette4701

No. No it's not. The blade is either not mounted correctly or you need a new saw or it's sentient and the A.I. are about to strike back against us.

@@ledfed1912 1st I was making a joke. 2nd all I know is that a jigsaw shouldn't be able to do that. I'm 99% sure they only go up and down not side to side. I'm like 75% sure I've seen one once that you could change the angle up to 45° (like I said I've maybe seen one once that could). 3rd and most important why did you say it could have been Ryobi? Is it because you don't like or use Ryobi? Or did Ryobi come out with a new one that can change the blade angles, directions, and what nots? Please let me know I'm very curious now.

You can pretty much build a house with a decent jig saw, they'll buzz right thru 2x's and sheet goods.

I was going to build a deck...I had a new Bosch barrel grip...but no circular saw. I built an entire 640 sf deck with one blade on that saw...and the blade was still sharp when I finished.

i have never used a jig saw that has a good line of sight very hard to accurately cut.

i currently use a feestool its a good tool but still have a hard time seeing the line when cutting as with all jig saws i have used.

Why would this not be the first saw to buy? It can cut any wood up to 4x4 and it can cut curves. I was thinking of getting tools to do some home projects and I settled on a jigsaw and a orbital sander as I think with those two I could do most woodworking for things like bookcases, bedframes, and planters. Anyone with more experience know why a jigsaw wouldn't be a good choice for first saw?

most house related projects need nice, true, square cuts which can be done with a jigsaw but takes longer. Personally I use my 12" sliding miter saw from harbor freight and my ryobi table saw WAY more than i use a jigsaw. Jigsaws have their place for sure though. Jigsaws are great for cutting sink holes or really any odd size hole in a piece of material.

A jig saw was the first saw I owned. It does so much. It is safer than a circular saw. It teaches the user useful skills other saws do not.

Bosch is the only name you need to know when it comes to Jigsaws, buy the best one you can afford.

I'm a HUGE fan of the way TOH organizes and presents information but this one is a miss. It's just too ambitious a subject to give a beginner any amount of information that comes close to helping with a purchase decision. So, in the end it amounted to, "Jigsaws are really complex so go somewhere and learn a whole lot about them before you buy one."

if you're using a jig saw, don't you want it to veer left or right?

@damondiehl5637

He's talking about the face of the cut itself. You want the saw blade to go straight up and down, 90 degrees from the surface, even when you are cutting a curve.

He said 30. Listen again closely.

Wish they had gone over what we're getting when we buy a $200 jigsaw vs a $60 one. Currently shopping on Lowes and Home Depot and even with digging into the specs, all I see is a difference in amperage, and only by 0.5! Surely it is not really worth the extra $60 or so dollars for 0.5 extra amps??? I feel like this may be a case where they are charging more for nothing just to jip people because even in the descriptions of these tools, they are really grasping at straws to define "features" like "easily accessible buttons on the side" and "firm hand grip". Pretty sure all of them have those features if I'm going to be paying over $60 for one. I'd say go with one around $80, but no more.
