Electrician is necessary for repair work, it is successfully used for sawing wood, aluminum, plywood, thin-leaved metal profile, laminate, ceramic tiles, sandwich panels, drywall and similar materials.
Principle of operation
In principle, this device is a universal type of saw for any sheet material, you just need to choose the most suitable saw blade. The cutting canvas is driven by the engine and the pendulum mechanism, passing through the support rollers or sponges. To prevent displacement of the canvas, the electrician has a support sole.
The advantages of the tool
Universality of application: the use of this equipment makes it possible to cut many modern building materials.
Time saving: now on the cut with an electrician is spent much less time than a manual analogue.
Convenience: you can choose the best option for an electrician, since in modern stores a fairly wide selection is presented! The main thing is that the tool lay well in the hand, and when working with it, inconvenience arises.
Reliability: in the lobby of a manual type, the saw blades very often break, and the electrician has high -strength files with an increased life resource!
Criterias of choice
Type of tool. Today 2 types of jigsaws are known: desktop and manual. The last form was so widespread due to the fact that it is mainly used for a simple saw. It is enough to simply fix the workpiece, and the electrician will move freely through the material.
If you need to perform a “jewelry” cut, it is best to purchase a desktop jigsaw, which allows you to make any, even the most complex cuts and various patterns. Usually they are installed in the carpentry workshops, since an electrician of this type is characterized by large dimensions. But the accuracy of their cutting is much higher! In this case, the workpiece moves.
Purpose: Home or professional? Of course, if an electrician is needed mainly for homework, it makes no sense to buy a powerful device with a large resource of work. But remember that the instrument power indicator will depend on whether it, for example, can cut thick sheets without overloading.
For a household jigsaw, 250-500 W will be enough, but for a professional model this indicator should be higher than 700 W. The weight of the equipment and the thickness of the saw.
The depth of the drunk and the speed. The speed of the file will depend on the last parameter. This parameter is measured with a special fixing button. The maximum number is 3400 rpm. The power of the electrolobian can be indicated by the depth of the cut, the value of which is usually indicated in the instructions.
The weight of the tool. Typically, this indicator is in the range of 2-3.5 kg. Professional type models weigh more, as they have an additional battery. Models with slight weight, although they have relatively small performance, is convenient to work even by weight!
The handle of the jigsaw can be bracket (the device can be held in one hand), mushroom -shaped (suitable for curly cutting and holds in two hands), hybrid (universal version, occurs infrequently). With which pen you need to buy a jigsaw will depend on the need and your preference!
Sole. In modern units, it is cast or stamped. The last type of sole is thinner and lighter, so it is used to equip mainly inexpensive models. The sole of the cast is resistant to curvature and has increased rigidity, but the cost of such a tool is slightly higher, in comparison with the previous type of electrician. It is also good if you have the opportunity to change the angle of inclination of the sole at your discretion – this will allow you to do oblique cuts without much effort.
Used files. It is also a very important parameter when choosing an electrician. There are such markings of materials for the manufacture of a saw canvas: HM – hard alloy; HSS – hardened steel; BIM – bimetal; HCS – carbon steel. There may be a width and shape of the teeth, as well as a saw canvas. For cutting glass or tiles, it is recommended to use files with diamond spraying.
Sawdust. In many modern electroplars there is a function of removing sawdust during operation. This is a very useful function: the air emanating from the fan not only removes the sawdust, but also cools the electric motor. Using such units, you can work even in rooms. Some manufacturers, instead of a long hose, equip the jigsaw with a small bag in which sawdust accumulates.
Additional opportunities. It will be good if the electroplair you selected will work from the battery. Yes, this is convenient, consider the fact that its power is usually small, and without recharging it will not be able to work for a long time. To make consumables more conveniently to change, buy a jigsaw with a fast sawer clip. To increase the accuracy of the cut, some manufacturers set a laser pointer on the tool, and the backlight will improve visibility when working in conditions with poor lighting. Due to the presence of an anti -vibrational system (counterweights or damping elements) in an electrolobian, you will not feel vibration when working. To work with small details, you can additionally purchase a special table. In the case it will be convenient for you to store and transfer your tool.
The choice of the manufacturer. Nowadays, the following brands are made the highest quality products: Watt, Makita, Metabo, Aeg, Dewalt, Bosch, Stern, Hitachi. Less wear -resistant and relatively inexpensive tools from zeniths, ryobi, intercol, proton, einhell.
The latest tips
In any case, before buying an electrician, ask the seller where, if necessary, buy spare parts, find out the location of the service center, and whether the guarantee for the tool is given. An electric jigsaw is a real assistant who will help you deal with repairs of any complexity, so you need to choose it very carefully!
