This is meant to be a straight down cut (admittedly, the blade I was using was one which came with it which felt a bit flimsy, but still. I can't plane it perfectly flate - I don;t have a thicknesser, and I can't afford to lose any thickness, so I am have to work with slightly 'out' wood.

Stroke length is a respectable 23mm which translates into cuts up to 90mm in wood and 10mm in mild steel. This means that battery tools are a lot more sensitive to blade thickness and sharpness because they are relatively so low powered. It’s always worth noting that the most affordable way to upgrade your cordless tools is to go for a body only (naked) version. It features a large 2 finger variable speed trigger which takes the strokes per minute up to a maximum of 2600.A jig saw isn’t designed to make perfectly straight square sided cuts, a circular saw or even quality bandsaw would give better results.
