Orbital Jig Saw
The Orbital Jig Saw uses a reciprocating or elliptical motion to saw through material depending on the use. It can be used to make straight or curved cuts. In the Maker Lab, we have DeWalt Orbital Jig Saws. Note: Photo is of our previous Craftsman Orbital Jig Saw, but the DeWalt Jig Saw is similar.
