Reciprocating saws: tools for efficient work
A reciprocating saw is a power tool designed for crosscutting long workpieces at any angle. A reciprocating saw is primarily used for cutting metal workpieces, but it can also be used for wood or PVC with the right type of blade. However, a reciprocating saw is more suitable for wood or plastic.
The metal reciprocating saw is designed to be lightweight and safe to use. This tool is used to cut metal structures, profiles, pipes and other products made of non-ferrous and ferrous alloys. The cut is made at a selected angle.
Modern models of reciprocating saws are equipped with additional protection against accidental switching on. The depth of cut can also be adjusted. High-quality materials and a soft-start system ensure comfortable and stable operation of the tool.

What is a reciprocating saw and what is it used for?
A reciprocating saw is the best tool for cutting any metal alloy: copper, steel, aluminium, etc. The blade is equipped with carbide or diamond teeth, which makes the tool as efficient as possible. The main advantages of the reciprocating saw are:
- powerful engine;
- Setting the desired cutting angle;
- different diameters of the blades for adjusting the depth of cut;
- a protective guard for increased safety.
Mounting power tools are widely used in construction and repair, metalworking and mechanical engineering. The tool belongs to the category of professional equipment and is suitable for working with metal profiles, pipes, sheets and other parts.
Unlike circular or circular blade versions, which are designed for straightforward cutting of wood, the assembly tool is more often used in industries that require high precision and productivity. The assembly tool is suitable for cutting steel structures for fences, frames, and metal doors. Also, the assembly model is indispensable for the manufacture of precision elements for metal structures in industry. In the field of repairing cars and other equipment, it is needed to prepare metal parts.
How does a reciprocating saw work?
Many people think that they can get by with an ordinary grinder. However, a reciprocating saw is much more productive and provides better accuracy. The power tool is easy to use thanks to its ergonomic design. The cutting element of a metal band saw is a long toothed saw in the form of a closed band. This working unit is usually made of high-speed steel. High cutting precision is ensured by a minimum cutting width, which further minimises material consumption.
The pendulum construction of the pendulum saw consists of the following elements:
- frame
- electric motor
- machine vice for fixing the workpiece;
- protective cover.
The tool is fitted with discs: abrasive or steel with carbide tipped. Abrasive discs are used for rough cuts, while steel discs are used for clean cuts.

What are the different types of panel saws?
Panel saws are classified according to their power and performance. Machines in classes 1-3 are used in professional areas:
- metalworking (precision workpieces for metal structures)
- construction (metal elements for communication systems, roofing structures);
- repair and installation of engineering systems, balconies, stairs, fences;
- artistic metalworking (fences, fences, metal decor, creation of complex shaped parts);
- car repair shops that require precise fitting of metal parts when repairing exhaust pipes, bodies, and frames.
Both professional tools and Class 4 can be successfully used in the home. Garden structures, greenhouses, fences, gazebos or other projects that require working with metal will be done better with a reciprocating saw.
Cordless reciprocating saw: advantages and features
Cordless models are easy to use, mobile, and have a long operating time on a single charge. The high-quality cordless reciprocating saw from the Japanese brand Makita is equipped with a brushless DC motor, which saves up to 50% of the charge during intensive work. The model has enhanced operator protection against sparks, and electronics control the motor overload protection.

Metal reciprocating saw: what is it suitable for?
When choosing a cordless metal reciprocating saw, you should pay attention to the following key characteristics
- engine power;
- engine speed;
- the ability to adjust and set the cutting angle;
- blade diameter, which determines the depth of cut.
Each model has a separate package and can be equipped with additional protection. Choose the option depending on the type of work you plan to do with the tool. The higher the intensity of use, the more powerful and versatile the saw should be.
Wood reciprocating saw: what do you need to know?
Circular saws are best suited for woodworking. But if your workshop requires different types of work, both in metal and wood, a general-purpose reciprocating saw is the right choice. To cut wood, you just need to install a different type of saw blade and adjust its speed. Such a tool is suitable for carpentry, assembly, and finishing work.
What should I look for when choosing a reciprocating saw?
For home use, a lower-powered tool will be needed. For professional use, you need a high performance tool. When choosing, you should consider the following characteristics:
- type of engine;
- blade size;
- rotation speed;
- quality and durability of the materials used;
- the ability to adjust the cutting angle;
- safety system.
For professionals, wear resistance and structural strength are important, as the tool is used intensively in production environments. Household needs will be covered by a smaller and more powerful mounting model, where you can use discs for both metal cutting and wood processing.
