Cutting with the Jig Saw

Brief demo on cutting with the Jig Saw.

You can cut straight and curved contours in metal and wood with the jig saw.

Wear your safety glasses!

Metal shards can permanently damage your eyes.

Wash your hands after working with metal.

If it is an interior cut, you will need to make a pilot hole with a drill or drill press.

Blades cost $2 each, so you will want to be careful not to bust them to quickly.
