In this video we continue our Woodworking for Beginners series with Reciprocating Saws & Reciprocating Saw Blades!
Reciprocating Saws or Recip Saws as they are commonly called, are a favorite tool for anyone doing DIY and home renovation projects, but they can also be used in woodworking and with the huge variety of recip blades for metal cutting and wood cutting and even for wood with embedded nails and screws, recip saws can save huge amounts of time. Reciprocating saws come in both corded and cordless models and the most useful saws are those with more powerful batteries and amperage.

Hahahaha, demolishing that drill at the end was epic. Thanks for the heads up on the differing blades. I just bought my first reciprocating saw last week, due to the amount of pallets I go through. Have a fantastic weekend mate.

I have an MPT reciprocating cordless saw that came w/o a manual. Your video is the only one out of a dozen I searched via YT that spends a moment showing how to insert the blade so it locks in place. THANKS A MILLION! I was so frustrated and almost shipped mine back.

I just bought a dinosaur sawzaw it's a craftsman 6.2 amp and it's got the Sears logo on it and it's corded and MAN is that thing a BEAST I got it for 15 bucks plus the craftsman case it goes with at a antique/flea market what a treasure the Lord blessed me with it already changed the landscape of my home already I used it to get some funky business this mass of trees was doing on my fence cut out fast i had been digging and manually sawing roots and the stuff that grew into the fence like literally a whole tree grew in such a way where it literally had the fence perfectly running through the exact middle of the tree for like a year and got a lot done but over a large span of time ...in less than one hour it did more than what i could to going atmit the way i had been doing it get a sawzaw even if it's just going to collect dust you will find something to use it for

I love reciprocating saws. I've used my uncle's when helping renovate his house and build his addition and I've borrowed it a few times. Although I've used them before, I just bought my first one today. I'm about to renovate my and my grandma's kitchen. I wish I would have had it the other day when I cut a hole in the wall for a new outlet( a jigsaw and files are hard to work with on beaded wall panels). I'll also have many jobs for it in my workshop.

I do not have a reciprocating saw yet but I can see it as a very useful tool to take pallets apart. And cutting steel rod with it looks good. Today I did some pieces with an angle grinder (as usual) but because of the sparks you have to be dressed like a mummy. Not very pleasant with tropical temperatures outside. Thanks for sharing the video. It is very useful.

Here is the problem with getting old, one tends to forget the names of items. In my case it is a blade for the saw that has teeth on all edges. It has a curved tip so with care you can cut straight through without a hole as a guide. Similar to a jig saw. The best saw is the Porter Cable with the revolving and tilting head. I obtained one a few years back on Ebay, nothing better. Went to a job hanging doors in Kansas City one week and while there I stopped all workers including the Foreman when I let another carpenter borrow my Porter Cable reciprocating saw. They were amazed with the saw and the power it had. I don't see them anywhere today for some reason but mine still works great. I was told it was to be in the will when I pass.

I just purchased a 15 amp Milwaukee Orbital SawZall ($199.99 + tax) to remove tile adhesive using scrapers that came with one adapter for use with this saw. Well, the part of the adapter that goes into the shank quickly broke and I had to disassemble the shank to remove the broken piece. Now, it turns out that this tool is not design for this type of work. So now, I am trying to find out what to do with this tool. Use it on what? Watching your video gave me some ideas. Thank you for your time and sharing you knowledge.

You should have mentioned removing blade from the saw after use is a great safety tip. I dropped my Porter Cable at the Bosses place and he put saw in the case but left the blade sticking out the case. Of Course he screamed and yelled at me when he picked me up for work as he had taken tools out of truck and happened to walk into the blade that was sticking out. It was a new sharp blade and since he had on flip flops in the garage it cut the hell out of his foot. Hint Ebay used to be great place to get good price on blades.

Yup, if you're transporting the saw, it's definitely a good idea to remove the blade! Thanks for watching.

I'm new in DIY wood works. I just bought a hikoki circular saw but I feel no confident to use it. So I thought I want to change it to recipicating saw as I feel I'm ok with it. My question is, can I use recipicating saw for my wood work projects? I know the cut is not that clean like a circular saw but I feel more confident using it.

The metal cutting blades are nice. They're flat and wide and made of good hard steel. They can be remade into knives. Some people will even make handles that utilize the quick-install like on the tools. side-note: you didn't mention the shoe adjustment feature many recipsaws have. The blade tends to wear down more near the show so it often be adjusted to add wear in other spots along the blade.
