Increased Control – Reduced Fatigue

The WEN 6 Amp Variable Speed Orbital Jig Saw is designed to drive through materials smoothly while allowing users an open sight of cutline to maintain precision. When you require a circular cut, angular cut, or a straight cut, it will make it very easy to achieve. Despite these facts, there are many other features that play an important role in making accurate cuts. The first thing is handling which becomes easy with lightweight design and ergonomics.

The trigger is long enough to reach wherever you place your hand on the D-Shape handle. You can hold it perpendicular or position at 45° for pushing forward. Weighing only 5 pounds, this tool is very easy to carry around without any fatigue. The lock on a button will let you free your hand so you can focus all the attention on cutline. It has a soft grip, so you won’t have any problem handling and gripping it.

Blend of Power & Torque

In most jig saws, debris always piles up on the cutline making it impossible to track the line. This WEN Variable Speed Orbital Jig Saw is designed to attach any vacuum cleaner right behind the saw so you can stay on the path without being distracted. The motor is a heart of any power tool. With a stroke length of 1 inch and SPM of 800-3000, its motor is really powerful. It consumes 6 amperes to drive saw through any material beneath it.

It features orbital actions in four operating settings to deal with various applications from vertical to orbital positions. You can bevel the base plate between 45° in both directions for angled cuts. The unit consumes 720 watts at 120V AC via power cord to provide consistent power to get things done without worrying about carrying and charging batteries. Keyless blade makes changing or installation easier with quick release chuck. Onboard storage will let you keep small things at one place for quick access.
