Why use a jigsaw machine

For sawing small parts or crafts from wood you need a jigsaw machine. He can easily cope with different thickness of wood blanks and easily saws wood with a treated surface.

As a rule, the jigsaw machine does its job well, while the hands can be free from the workpiece control and it is possible to cut out various bends and roundings. Therefore, when working, it is safe, which is important.

A tree 5 cm thick can be sawed with a small machine, and in order to cut a thicker wood, a jigsaw machine with a higher power is needed. The jigsaw working table can be made of different materials, for example, of pressed metal. The main thing is that the surface of the table is flat, flat and rigid. To cut the oblique cuts, you need to tilt the table, so in many models the jigsaw table tilts. And in some models, they even go up and down so that you can use a different part of the saw blade, as it will wear out over time.

Machines are equipped with electric motors, even a 100-watt engine develops the speed of the jig saw blade in operation up to 1600 strokes per minute. In some models, it is possible to adjust the speed. Despite the fact that the jigsaw machine can cut different thicknesses of the workpiece, the saw blade path remains short. And if you always saw only thin workpieces, then the part of the file that is located above the table will be blunt. Therefore, in order to rationally use the saw blade, it is necessary to periodically place on a table, for example, a plywood of small thickness.

The saw blade should be tensioned so that during work it does not bend during operation, since its blade is very thin. In some models there is a mechanism for adjusting the tension of different sizes. On the jigsaw there is a fence, it is necessary to prevent contact of the fingers with the file. Usually this is a simple transparent plastic screen, but if the supply of the workpiece is correct, the fence may not be needed. In addition, when working it is necessary to have a presser with you - it is required to prevent vibrations, since the workpiece can be raised from the movement of the web. In good and high-quality machines, a tube is provided for cleaning the sawdust from behind the blade. This tube receives air under pressure, which blows all the debris along the line of marking.

A homemade jigsaw machine can be used for domestic work, for example, for making home-made furniture, decorating different buildings and interiors, sawing patterns from wood, etc. In order to make the machine at home, you can use different materials: wood, metal, caprolon, etc. The frame with the motor and the rocking chair with the saw are the main components of the machine. The motor of the sewing machine can serve as an electric drive. To make a jigsaw machine with your own hands, you need to take into account all the components of the machine, perform assembly and fixing, check the safety of its work.
