BEST CHEAP Jigsaw - rating of jigsaws, top best in terms of price and quality

I made the list on the basis of the "best price-performance jigsaw" principle. You, be sure to check the guide roller that supports the file. It shouldn't be loose. Or the side-to-side move should be negligible Otherwise, there can be no question of accurate cuts. The thicker the part, the more the file will move away. After all, it also bends, because it is made of thin metal. And this aggravates the problem.

Look at the shape of the idler roller groove. It is of two types - under a cone or rectangular.

- The taper gives better control of the file.

- For a rectangular one, the groove is wide. If you put a narrow file, the backlash is provided.

The conical one adjusts to any thickness of the file, the rectangular one does not.

DeWALT DW 349

Sawed a bar 100/100, it turned out an even cut. With a competent combination of swinging movements and cutting speed on straight sections, the deviation is about two degrees, on curved sections - three. I made circular holes in ceramic tiles, no problem: I bought diamond-coated canvases and "draw" as you like! This is a good indicator for a jigsaw. It blows away the sawdust like a whirlwind. He wore glasses so as not to injure his eyes.

The DW 349 has rubberized pads on the body, the tool does not slip. Power is enough for housework. The functionality pleases, for such money it is rare to find something like that.

• The sole adjustment is made as for people: put the lever aside and turn it at the desired angle. Tilt up to 45 °.
• Includes a protective pad for the sole. Convenient when working with a "delicate" surface.
• The clamping mechanism is clear: raised the lever and the file is released. The tool comes with a spare saw blade for wood.
• Good lighting. Without straining, you see the saw area. Although there were times when she no, no, and let down.

Metabo Steb 65 Quick

It is a reliable and durable tool for household needs. Sawed wood blanks up to 100 mm thick. Vibration is not felt. Half an hour of work flew by like an instant, did not even notice - it is so easy to work. A 2.5 m cord is enough to reach the outlet and work without straining at the workplace. It is good that the lighting is provided, since I often make curved cuts on thick workpieces. You need precision.

Features of the device:

• The air flow is redistributed to the back of the jigsaw or to the front. If blown before, it is not convenient to work. The impeller, when rotating, drives air through the air intake holes. The flow is so strong that it is impossible to work without protective goggles. Flying debris hurts your eyes.
• The saw blade is changed by turning the lever. Hold when pulling out. Otherwise, it will fly out like an arrow from a crossbow.
• There is a plastic nozzle on the sole that protects the workpiece.

Bosch PST 700 E

It normally cuts OSB, chipboard, plywood and boards up to 30 millimeters thick. Thick "takes" with tension, but in this case it is more logical to use a circular saw. Sawed metal tubes 1.5 mm thick and sheets of plexiglass. The device is convenient, compact and not heavy.The rubberized insert on the handle magnetizes to the palm of your hand. No hints of slipping out. The vibration suppression system does not strain the hand, and the wrist does not get tired. The stroke is smooth even at high revs, the speed is increased by pressing the button.

The sole is adjustable on the slope. To do this, loosen the fastening screw, set it to the required angle and tighten. But there is no pendulum movement. Well, okay, as they say: "The woman is from the cart, it is easier for the mare." Although it gives speed to the saw blade, it sometimes spoils the cut.

And now for the fun part: the PST 700 is equipped with the SDS system, a clamping tool that can be used to change files without a hex key. He pulled back the lock and inserted it. The canvas is fixed firmly: work, do not worry about falling out or being led away.

• The metal bracket protects against accidental hand getting under the saw teeth.
• The sole provides an accurate guide for sawing off. It resembles a triangle or a tooth in shape: you follow the marked line, without deviating from the sign, and the cut is smooth.
• This jigsaw is neat. The blow-off function removes debris while you are working, thereby improving the visibility of the cutting line. And in order to work without dust, a vacuum cleaner can be connected to the branch pipe.

Fiolent PM3 600E

He comes from the past. This is exactly the case when a good instrument is passed from father to son. Fiolents plow for years, do not wear out. This is the simplest jigsaw of the old design. There is nothing special about it, but there is one proprietary feature - two plates on the sole that are screwed on with screws. They clearly fix the file at the level of the sole, do not allow dangling from side to side and ensure a smooth cut. There is only one drawback: the files are attached with a screwdriver. But this is the most reliable mount.

Saw stroke 26 mm, saws any material. Not every jigsaw has such an indicator.

I even sawed logs and a floorboard, cut a hole in the countertop for a sink, cut fiberboard and chipboard, skirting boards, beams, baguettes and laminate. It is important to take into account that each material has its own file. Then there will be no chips or chipping. But the quality and cleanliness of the cut depends not only on the blade, but also on the speed of movement.The button for adjusting the frequency of movement of the file on the start button. Just under the thumb. The key is not soft, you have to get used to it. The pendulum switches to two positions.
