If you’re in the market for an 18 volt cordless jigsaw, you’ve come to the right place. But to ensure you make the best possible choice, we’ve put together a brief buyer’s guide for you.

What Does an 18 Volt Cordless Jigsaw Do?

A jigsaw tool with cordless power is used for making straight, curved and highly intricate cuts in wood, metal and a range of other materials. It uses a long, thin blade to cut with a high degree of precision, which is attached to the body of the tool with a spring-loading mechanism. In many ways, the action of a variable speed jigsaw with cordless power is similar to that of a sewing machine.

Whether you’re a furniture maker or a carpenter who likes to create ornate features, finding the best cordless jigsaw in the UK can help you to create with accuracy and flair. Just remember: the more teeth in the cutting blade, the smoother your cuts will be.

Useful Features Included in Cordless Jigsaw Sets

Finding the best cordless jigsaw in the UK isn’t just about finding the cheap option that includes the most features — it’s about finding the right option at the best price. So when you’re shopping around and comparing all the cordless jigsaw deals online, check to make sure the following features are included:

• A high-performance brushless motor that maximises the power-to-weight ratio
• An 18v cordless jigsaw capable of producing at least 2000 spins per minute.
• A blade clamp for quick and safe blade changes
• A keyless bevel
• Cutting angles of up to 45 degrees
• An LED light to make sawing in the dark safer

If you buy a cordless jigsaw as part of a set, make sure it includes at least one spare battery. It’s also worth checking whether or not the product comes with spare blades. If it doesn’t they can easily be purchased separately. If you’re creating high-quality furniture, for example, you’ll need blades with lots of teeth. Cutting wood should be carried out using a blade containing at least 14 teeth per inch. However, if you’re cutting tile or glass, choose blades with at least 36 teeth per inch.
