How to Use a Reciprocating Saw and Jigsaw. A jigsaw is a type of reciprocating saw; learn the differences and tips for using these tools. The reciprocal saw uses a reciprocating, or alternating direction, motor to move a blade back and forth.Blades are available for cutting wood, metal, plastic, and drywall or plaster.
The width of the ''kerf'' - the slot the blade cuts in the material - is another important consideration. Many blade types are available in both full-kerf and thin-kerf varieties. Full-kerf blades typically cut a 1/8 slot and are intended for use on saws powered by 3 hp (or greater) motors. Thin-kerf saw blades - blades with a kerf thickness of less than 1/8'' - were developed for use on portable and contractor model table saws with motors of less than 3 hp.
