Total jig saw 800w

Start with the material and the cut you need to perform. This line of Total jig saws runs around 800 watts of power, with a no-load speed range from 800 to 3000 rpm and wood cutting up to 100 mm while steel is cut up to about 10 mm. An orbital/4-step pendulum function lets you switch between precise, clean cuts and faster, rougher passes, while an aluminum base keeps the blade tracking accurate. For comfort, check the handle material (thermoplastic elastomer or rubber) and look for a weight that feels balanced in your hand.

The variable speed plus pendulum action gives you real control over each cut. The speed setting tailors blade motion to the material, improving finish quality and blade life across wood, metal, and plastic. The four-step pendulum function adjusts blade oscillation, making you more aggressive on softwood for faster stock removal or gentler for metal and plastics to minimize burrs. Together with an aluminum base for rigidity, these features help you achieve cleaner edges and straighter starts even when you’re cutting non-ideal stock.

For DIY enthusiasts tackling home projects, opt for a Total jig saw that feels comfortable in hand, has a practical weight, and offers straightforward controls for common woodwork and light metal work. For professional use, seek models with the full 800W power, maximum wood depth around 100 mm, steel cutting up to 10 mm, and a robust build with an aluminum base to maintain accuracy through long sessions.

Keep the tool clean and ready for the next job. After use, wipe the body and any exposed metal to prevent corrosion and check blades for wear before each use. Always unplug before changing blades, and use blades suited to the material you’re cutting (wood, metal, or plastic) to maintain edge life and cut quality. Choose models with corrosion-resistant construction to extend tool life in typical workshop conditions.

Some models are sold with a blade included, so you can start cutting right away out of the box. When shopping, verify the package specifies a wood blade and a metal blade option to cover common tasks, and choose a tool that accepts interchangeable blades designed for wood, metal, and plastics to maximize future versatility.

Colors seen across the Total options include teal/grey, green, and black‑blue‑grey, reflecting different lines. Beyond color, you’ll find a sturdy aluminum base for straight cuts and a corrosion-resistant body, with ergonomic handles designed to reduce fatigue during longer sessions.
