SAW PROFILE
Jigsaw blade selection
A reciprocating narrow blade makes a jigsaw adaptable, but blade body, tooth direction, width, and length matter as much as TPI.
Best at
- Curves and interior cutouts
- Sheet goods and plastics
- Short controlled metal cuts
Selection limits
- Blade deflection in thick stock
- Slow on long straight cuts
- Top-face tearout with the wrong tooth direction

Open Jigsaw finder FIT BEFORE APPLICATION
A blade can cut the material and still be wrong for the saw.
SawMatch keeps shank visible because product-category fit is not enough. Read the tool manual and the full blade label before installation.
