jigsaw blade

Curved cutting tool

A jigsaw blade is a thin, narrow saw blade designed for use in a jigsaw—a power tool that cuts with rapid up-and-down strokes.

The blade's narrowness allows it to cut curves and intricate shapes in wood, metal, or plastic.

Different blades have different tooth configurations for various materials and cut qualities: I need a fine-tooth jigsaw blade for this laminate.
