An introduction to air jigsaws
Air jigsaws are power tools that use compressed air to drive a reciprocating blade, providing the ability to cut complex shapes and curves in various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic. Compared to electric jigsaws, air jigsaws are preferred when high-precision cutting and greater control are needed, as they offer greater flexibility and are generally lighter and more compact.
Why choose compressed air jigsaw machines?
Air jigsaws are a popular type of power tool used to make curved cuts in wood, metal, and other materials. These tools are designed to be lightweight and easy to manoeuvre, making them ideal for cutting intricate shapes and designs. With their pneumatic power source, air jigsaw machines deliver smooth and precise cuts, making them a favourite among woodworkers, metalworkers, and DIY enthusiasts alike.
What are their benefits?
Here are some of the main benefits of air jigsaws:
- Low maintenance – with fewer moving parts and no electrical motor, air jigsaws require less maintenance than electric jigsaws, and are less likely to malfunction due to electrical issues
- Manoeuvrability – due to their lightweight and compact design, air jigsaws offer greater manoeuvrability than electric jigsaws, allowing them to be easily operated in tight spaces or around curves
- Precision cutting – the reciprocating blade of an air jigsaw allows for precise and intricate cutting, making it a popular choice for applications that require a high degree of accuracy
- Reduced heat build-up – the compressed air used to power air jigsaws generates less heat compared to electric jigsaws, which can reduce the risk of warping or damaging the material being cut
- Versatility – air jigsaws offer a versatile cutting solution, as they can cut through various materials such as wood, metal, and plastic, making them suitable for a wide range of applications
