A smallish saw, I use it for cutting trim for home DIY. It works well, nice clean cuts and precise if you're careful with it. I've used it both for table-top cuts (clamped) and free-hand cuts (installed trim).Negatives: it's got a pretty limited range of motion, which limits the type and thickness of wood you can cut. It's pretty loud and causes strong vibrations in the cut area (a faster blade would be smoother).This kind of saw is relatively easy/safe for the amateur to work with, with its short cutting range, the flat guide which helps stabilize the saw, and with its blade facing away from the user. But note it lacks a safety switch (once it's plugged in, it's live).If like me, you were wondering whether to get a reciprocating saw, or a jig saw, the jig saw is the better choice for detailed work and the reciprocating saw is better for coarse cuts or thicker wood like 2x4s.

I needed a saw that just cut wood and that I could drag from place to place without being concerned that it would break down when I needed it, yet still not spend a lot of money on it. I didn't need LED lights, digital readouts, or a lot of settings that I'd never use.Presenting the B&D JS515, an uncomplicated model that sells for under $25. One gets the B&D brand value and you don't have to dig deep. So far I've had this saw for over a year now and probably used it 100+ times without a hitch. It uses the standard blade or the T type at your preference.The power is more than adequate and I can go through just about anything but cement board, though I've done that as well in a couple of emergencies for cutting a couple of holes.And while this seems like a small thing, I like the orange color on the job, as it's easy to spot in a room full of other stuff. It also comes with a perfectly adequate canvas carry bag that keeps your extra blades handy and eliminates risk of scraping yourself on the edge while loading/unloading stuff from the truck

Boards are placed in a stack, then cut.Featured is Black & Decker's JS515 which accepts Universal and T-shank blades. This jigsaw has the power we need and, without question, is reasonably priced.The number of boards we can cut at one time depends on the working length of our blade. For example, the Bosch T318A has an overall length of 5.25 inches, but a WORKING length of 4.11. That being the case we can cut a maximum of 8 half-inch boards.Unlike scroll saws, ready-made knife blades ARE available for jigsaws, a fact which requires but a singular decision: Modify a blade or select ready-made.If you choose ready-made here's a brief list of knife blades along with the number of boards each can cut: This blade cuts 4 half-inch boards. This blade cuts 8 half-inch boards. This blade cuts 10 half-inch boards.I have used each blade successfully with the JS515.1. Demarcate your top board to indicate 9.5 x 12-inch sections.2. Keep boards together however you can. I use double-stick tape between the boards. 3. Use FAST speed when cutting foam board.Debris will be consistent with the amount of boards cut. Indoors or out I suggest: Also, NEXT: Choosing a photo for your statuette; mounting with double-sided adhesive paper.

I'm not a contractor, I'm simply a home owner who needs an affordable, reliable tool to use from time to time when DIY projects come along. The JS515 fits the bill and more. For starters, this saw is well built; sturdy plastic contruction with a metal plate. It also has a built-in, magnetized blade compartment that truly comes in handy when doing projects. It accepts T & U Shank blades and has a dust blower out the back. It includes one T-shank blade.If you're thinking about this and an ORBITAL jigsaw, let me clarify something. If you are not a professional contractor or won't be cutting a LOT of wood, you DO NOT need an orbital saw. The orbital is meant for quick, NOT so clean cuts, meant for heavy volume.Here's another tip, the blade you see pictured, is a T-Shank blade, so try to buy T-Shank blades and DO NOT buy the one suggested by Amazon ( )...those are U shank blades and so ARE SHORTER than the one included with this jigsaw. I made the mistake of buying them and ended up with blades that are almost an inch shorter than T-shank, which limits what you can and can not cut depending on thickness.BUY THESE instead: These come with a nice little nylon flat pouch and do a great job. Plus they fit exactly as the one pictured with the jigsaw.

Just started using this saw and so far it is great. I especially like the mechanism that locks the blade in place without the use of tools - and the blade stays in place! I took the advice of another reviewer (Adam T) and bought a good set of blades (Bosch) when I purchased the saw. This is a nice, basic jigsaw that works well for the average user.
