Good video with some very valuable and helpful tips on how to use a jigsaw even for those who are familiar with jigsaws. Especially the part on the speed of the cut.

I'm hear again 2 years later! I needed to brush up on the speeds to use for which wood. Thank you!!

A real gentleman . You have given answers and helpfully ideas

🎉You are so genuine. I can understand what you are teaching. I just bought my first jigsaw. I used a circular saw for most everything and then a multi-tool for the rest. Now I have more confidence in using my jigsaw. I understand about safety of course. Especially since mine came with a U blade. Lol I will be purchasing the right blade for the wood i am using. Great tip scoring the line first, then using the packing tape. Awesome! Thank you so much for this fun and informative video! 😊

Thanks for the tips; beginner here, I have seen the packing tape trick used with intricate scroll sawing as well. Very well done, And much appreciated.

Great advice, I remember making all the mistakes you mentioned when I first used a jigsaw. Always good to hear a reminder if you don't use one too often

My first jigsaw (an HP ONE+) is coming today, and this was super duper helpful. I'd imagine I could even cut out the shape of an electric guitar body with it, which is pretty amazing. Assumed I'd need some crazy jig or cnc router.

Just purchased a jigsaw & found your video extremely helpful. I am not tool-handy so simply watching you talk about & cut with your jigsaw was comforting, it helps me to know what to expect when I use mine for the 1st time. AND love the tips you gave!!! Thank You!!!

Im a woodcarver, new to jigsaw, mostly looking for blade info, Especially curved blade & its applications ie: bowls & spoons. Learned alot from your tutorial, would be helpful if you showed more on curved cuts. Thanks..I liked & subscribed

Wally, your hard wood tips are awesome!

I thought your tutorial was Excellent! It's great people like you, that's helps us rookies. Very much appreciated great job! David Burleigh Lincoln, maine

Thank you very, very much, you saved my ass on the job site!! You explained everything precise and to the point! You're an awesome guy!

Was looking for info on the varible controls and even tho no info was mentioned and I know everything you talked about I thought you did a great job letting others know and you earned another subscriber by doing so. Good job and I'll be checking out old and the new videos of yours in the future.

Excellent description of the tools, concepts, and tips. You made it very clear and easy to understand for an uninitiated person like me. Thank you!

Thanks Wally for the heads up, learnt a few things that I didn't know.

This is good insight. I didn't know some of these things about the jigsaw

I just bought a jigsaw and want to know how to use it correctly. Your video was spot on in helping me. Thank you.

Got a nice Milwaukee fuel jigsaw in a Milwaukee fuel kit I bought.... the few times I’ve used I always felt my circular saw, or table saw do a much better job...I guess I need to start making some curves. Love your video, and you’ve encouraged me to replace the dust on my jigsaw with saw dust 👍

I am a DIYer myself and watch a lot of videos, to update my skills. Undoubtedly it is the best video I have seen on the Jigsaw.

Thank you Have been using for about 6months. Great tips. no one is showing beveled cuts that would be nice. Blessings Thank you

Yep! You did a good job. Thanks for the help.

Just watched this. Great information and fantastic techniques!!

Very informative. The tape and the scoring were game changers. Thank u. Very helpful😁

Thanks!! Was trying to decide on buying a circular or jig, and I’m going to buy a jig. Seems safer and more variety of uses 🤠

Great tips for using this tool. I learned a couple of useful things today watching your video. Thanks a lot!

Lovely video. I am making a bathtub deck myself for the first time because i basically got a botched job done. I bought a jigsaw and have never used one. This was so helpful i just made my first couple of cuts and am amazed on how accurate your advice is. Thank you !

Subscribed.. Thank you for great video .. Planning to buy jigsaw this week..

Very helpful ... cant wait to buy my first jigsaw now.

Excellent video. Thank you sir.

Great video. Thanks Ray

Awesome and useful video! Thank you ! I just got a jigsaw and I've been excited to use it. I'm happy I saw your video before really diving into projects 😅 One question I have is on loading the blade into the jigsaw. I have a quick release jigsaw and I have gone over the instructions 500 times, but I put the blade in and power it on but the blade never starts moving or cutting. 🙃 Thanks again for the supper helpful tips!

very good info spitculy the speed and using the right blades. thanx for share.

Thanks for the tips!

Thank you so much, so helpful!

Great tips and have now convinced me to get this.

Thnaks for this tips. Very helpful.

Great advice,thank you so much

Thanks Wally. Really good your presentation.

This was so helpful! I just received a free jigsaw during a sale. I figured it was good to have. So happens I have a project coming up im going to take it out the box! 😎

spot on and thank you. KISS!: KEEP IT SIMPLE, SMART!

Lovely and clear in an informal way.

Thanks Wally. A useful guide. You talked about speed in respect of feed speed. How about the relationship of feed speed to saw speed and different materials? I've had a cheap jig saw for years but never really had any regard for it because it wanders around with a mind of its own. I've come back to it, wondering whether it's just my lack of knowledge, to give it a second chance!

Well explained. Tips are extremely useful, at least I learned them for the first time. So thank you for that. I wish you had given some idea or tips on how to fix the work surface on a table while using a jigsaw as the blade would be protruding below the work surface while running.

I just used it to cut a few pieces of plywood boards kzfaq.infoUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS works great. The blade that came with it isn't very good and I bought a much better bosch one which made much cleaner cuts. Blades were cheap, a few bucks.

Thanks for the sharing! very helpful for my DIY project.

Great. I’ll try these options and let you know. Cheers and Happy New Year! 🍻

Thanks for sharing, great tips👍Was hoping you would have touched on orbital settings… perhaps in another video? Anyways, I just picked up a Ryobi P5231 for myself and I’m loving it!

Great video. Really useful advice. Thanks for uploading.

thanks for the scoring and tape info on this...and i think i need a better jigsaw...

Thanks very much. Good info.

Very well explained. Bravo and thank you.

Just found your channel! Great tips! Subbed!

Very well done. Thank you.

Wonderful tips.

Great, thank you!

That was a great video.Thank you. I've been using my old Skil jigsaw for awhile now on projects and you reinforced some things I suspected were going on, but what I want to know is how come sometimes the saw jumps up and down when it's cutting? In other words, I can't keep the shoe flat because it vibrates so hard. I hate that.

So I broke the last blade on my old Black & Decker and when I tried to order online, I discovered that there are two types of blade shanks, and the B&D only takes a U-shank blade. It always aggravated me because the blade kept falling out. The big box store only had one U-Shank product vs. about 20 for T-Shank. That made me dig out another jigsaw that someone had given me, but since it didn't have any blades I never used it. Turns out it's a newer model that takes the T-Shank blades. I picked up a set of DeWalt T-Shank blades today and found it had one labeled "Laminate" and the teeth went the opposite way. Your video explained why, and that's very useful because I'm about to start a flooring project. Also liked the tips, I learned a lot. Never heard of a flush-cut jigsaw blade before either, I will get one. You showed how the jigsaw can make curved cuts, my blade kit also included one labeled "scroll" and is very narrow for tight turns. My jigsaw also has an "oscillate" function which apparently moves the blade forward and backward in addition to up and down. Now I have to keep learning to see what else I can do with thing. Thanks.

nice man .fine vid tips ..like

Great tricks! Thanks!

Thank You!

thank you, this was very useful

great tips, thank you !!!!

Thank you so much

Thank. You. !!!

Helpful.video thank you

Thx Wally....

Thank you!!

Nice tips

Wally, I like how you come across in your video. You seem like a genuine person. All the best to you and thanks for the tips. Btw, I notice you have other Ryobi tools. Have you been happy with them? My first Ryobi tool (jigsaw) is arriving tomorrow. I'm hoping the One+ 18V ecosystem will be something I can get into, being more of a hobyist.

Thanks for the lessons I am first time user and this tip are helpful

Thanks for the tips Wally. I use the metal cutting blades for fine cutting in thin plywood at slightly slower speeds. Also the thinner blades are better for "scroll" type cuts as they allow you to "turn" the blade in the wood at tighter curves. Great channel.

Thanks man

Great video

Thanks so much this is very helpful. I have the same jigsaw and i work with maple like the one you used. I'm struggling with cutting curves, similar to you example, without the jigsaw over heating on me. What blade and speed would you recommend?

Great video! question: for mixing the tape and score tips, do you tape and then score or score and then tape over ?

Thanks for the information. I going to cut a4x4 trated and make a curve cut , what blade do you recomend, I am trying to make a japanese torii gate for my garden.

Lots of great info on this video. I just added this jigsaw to my Ryobi collection. Question for you (or anyone else). I need to modify my front fiberglass door and sidelites (1 3/4") to accept the new door glass inserts for them. They already have inserts in them, just need to create a squared top instead of the current half round design, so not a lot of cutting needed. What blade would you suggest and what speed (guessing a 0 on the orbital switch?). Thanks for this great tutorial!

Buen video amigo me he subscrito a su canal, gracias....

Thanks for your video I'm a beginner and it will help me

Thanks

Hi I have bosch jig saw and a bosch circle cutting jig but l haven't been able cut straight edge cut circle that meets is beveled what's the best blade to use for this l under stand about slowing down. Any help please.

THANKS SIR

Here's a tip . Use a barrel grip and put the shoe of the saw on the bottom of whatever you are cutting with the blade pointing up . You will see the lines easily, will not get tear out " if using an upstroke blade" will not mar the piece in anyway. It takes a little getting used to , but have been doing this for 40 plus years. p.s. will work with a top handle grip , but much more control on a barrel grip type jigsaw. Have a nice day.

Thank you

Good one...it wud have been even better if u had shoen dfrnt types of blades in closeup scenes fr dfrnt materals so we cud buy easily

Oh this is good. That Ryobi is big. I have my eye on it. I think that's the one I want but does the LED light stay on for a few seconds after it starts? I heard it's kinda heavy compared to others.

THANKS APPRECAITE IT

Thank you! I have an old skilsaw, I took it apart and cleaned it up, but it sounds rough. I was afraid to use it.

Okay which number is the highest speed and which one is the lowest speed. I have numbers 1to5 and for the oscillating. It's like 0 up to 4 or 5. Which is the best setting is zero the best setting. For the speed, is five the highest and Is one the lowest.?

Yjank you Sir.🎉

What blade do u need to cut hole in cargo vehicle . That has metal and wood

You didnt say what the white knob on the side of the saw was for, Mine has it and it looks like it changes the stroke of the blade what is this for?

You never mention what the dial on the side used for and which applications to use upcut vs. downcut blades-when to use in each case.

How much sanding is generally required after cutting holes?
