kevbo Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm looking to cut radius on a 2x6 fast, my 3.0amp jig saw is not fast. Would a higher amp jig make a huge difference, or is cutting a 2x6 with any jig saw going to be slow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 The extra amps will get a faster cut, but the most important item is having the right and a sharpe blade. I have a 6.5 dewalt and can rip through that pretty quick, but I guess it is all relevant. Before you take a look and just go buy a 6.5 amp, take a look at the stroke difference and speed. If your not jumping up much, you will not see a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 The amps will help, but most jigs are made to make certain cuts. A cicular saw would be a lot better cutting a straight line. If your making another type of cut only a couple of times, I would use the jig saw you have. If your looking to make a lot of cuts over a longer period of time, I would upgrade.
