Overview
Cutting curves in wood, metal and plastic, this DeWalt jig saw uses a top handle for control and takes blades without a key. It bevels to an angle and ships in a contractor bag.
The keyless blade change and bevel capability are the practical features, and the contractor bag makes it ready to carry. The spec list also says one AAA battery is required, with no reason given.
Who it's for
A homeowner or contractor who cuts curves in wood, plastic and light metal will find the surface list wide. Buyers who need cordless freedom, or a barrel grip, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Keyless blade change
- Wide material list
- Contractor bag included
- AAA battery requirement unexplained
- Blade length given as one inch only
Performance notes
The blade moves up and down while the shoe rides on the work, so cutting speed depends on tooth count and motor power. The top handle places the hand above the blade for tight control on curves, and a bevel shoe tilts to angle the cut.
