Einhell Home TH-JS 85

Good household electric jigsaw

Those who know English by the name of the Einhell Home TH-JS 85 electric jigsaw immediately understand that it is intended for domestic use (for example, for DIY or repair work). In addition, the maximum depth of cut that this tool can make when cutting wood is “encrypted” in the name - 85 mm. The jigsaw motor has a power of 620 watts. The frequency of saw blade strokes is adjustable in the range from 800 to 3000 strokes/min, and the lever of the pendulum mechanism has four positions, meaning different amplitudes of the longitudinal movements of the blade. Therefore, the tool can be easily and simply adjusted to work with different materials: wood and wood products, plastic or workpieces made of aluminium or sheet steel. During operation, the jigsaw can blow chips from the cut line or send them straight to the vacuum cleaner connected to the nozzle at the back of the case.

Files and their fastening system

T-shank saw blades are inserted into the jigsaw (this is the most common type of saw blade and can be bought inexpensively at any online store). The keyless locking system allows you to remove and install files without the use of auxiliary tools and fixtures. This is a very convenient mechanism that saves a lot of time. But it should be noted that for this electric jigsaw, the saw blade fixation unit is not as reliable as we would like. Over time, the socket for the shank loosens, and a slight play appears. Therefore, those who are looking for a jigsaw for everyday use should look towards other (more expensive) devices.
