There are additional ways to describe pendulum cut and why, 1st down cutting blades won’t work well unless pendulum action is off, better curved cuts are achieved with it off also. With it on, the blade grabs the material and pulls saw down which is a great help when using tool inverted. As well as how you described it. There are also blades that have half teeth pointing up and half down which give a very good cut with virtually no tear out on top or bottom of cut. Again, with pendulum cut off. I watched as I was keen to see that partucular Makita in use before I purchase one.

Nice to see someone that knows you can plunge cut with a jigsaw. I've been on site with many folks that don't believe it's possible till you show them... Admittedly it's not great for the blades especially if you are in a hurry.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

It really is a good hack. Send them this way if you get any more non believers 👍

[@zacharyhoffman5456]

First time I'd seen it was on here. But I've met more people who would break every blade attempting anything that requires finess

[@dogbreath6974]

To reduce splintering on ply and other materials you can buy down cutting blades, (not sure what the correct nameis)I've used them on kitchen worktops, ply templates.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Thank you, I'll have to look into that👍

Makita B19

[@somika87]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that plastic instert plate from the very end of the vid there to help keep the blade even straighter for a neat, square cut?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

No, to do that it would require direct contact with the blade. It wouldn't last 5 seconds.

[@joewentworth7856]

It might sound mad but try holding the jig saw upside down and cutting with the blade sticking up. All sawdust goes down away from the cut line and you get a great view and no splintering.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

That's worth a try, though it'll only work if you're cutting along the edge... Or flip the timber over 👍

[@Rando88_]

Is the trigger variable speed or can you only control it with the dial?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Hello, yes it does. Please see here: kzbin.info7LubnPmsHfA I made a quick short to demonstrate, hope it helps 👍

[@zacharyhoffman5456]

At 10:10 would your guide rail mount on the opposite side?

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Hi @zacharyhoffman5456, yes it will

[@ILoveU-ny3ug]

好野🎉🎉🎉

[@KuliJens]

Best anti splintering device is painter’s tape on the line 👍

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

That really depends on the material being cut. If I need a really good edge, I'll either opt to over cut and sand or use smaller toothed blades.

[@W0pper1997]

Use bosch "clean cut". My absolute favorite blades.

[@vasik2367]

Благодарю! Привет из России.

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Sorry, I don't understand.

[@miksmif]

all the gear... no idea....

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

@miksmif, please explain, I love learning about tools and better ways to use them. What do you think I missed or did wrong?

[@tokkiebodenstein3577]

Your video is made for the deaf and blind people, because your written words obscure the video. Rather put the words on your face

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

Are you talking about the subtitles?

[@alexisalam7309]

Take the subtitles Off !

[@ChampionsOfTheTrade]

@@alexisalam7309 You can do that yourself, hover over the video and the option is next to the settings. Thanks for watching 👍
