    Nice video for those unfamiliar with the tool. One thing to note when installing a blade into a jigsaw is to be sure the blade also aligns with the blade guide roller! Also, that blade can get really hot from the friction of cutting so caution, and gloves, are advised if the blade needs to be changed out or removed from the tool after completing a cut.

    I’m just now getting into trying to actually learn about woodworking and DIY, as opposed to just trial and error, so I’ve watched a lot of different CZcamsrs, but I really enjoy your tutorial videos the best! They are very thorough and teach you everything you need to know about the topic at hand while being concise at the same time; a great combination! It’s apparent that you are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what you’re teaching and that really comes through in your videos 😀 Thank you for sharing!!

    I am a first-time user (had used a saw decades ago!) I am also in my 60s, but I have the NEED and a strong desire to make things I want. TY TY TY TY For being very thorough, and explaining things in detail in such a way I can easily understand. I "Thought" I was fully prepared (Safety goggles, mask) but I need to go and get clamps (I knew this, but didn't) for today I am okay with the blade it came with, but I also will need in the future various types of blades. At the moment it's a shelf I am making, and redoing a bookcase. But later on, I want to do some fancier things. You have encouraged me further. SAFETY FIRST And above all! I was born with 10 fingers and plan on keeping them for the rest of my life.

      Just the person I want to talk to. Also in my 60's and tired of asking my neighbour to make cuts for my projects. My small concern is the weight of the saw. Was that a factor in your choice of saw to purchase?
