Straight line or orbital cutting action Conventional jig saws cut with a straight is, the blade moves only line action, that up and down in a straight line. Your saw also cuts in this manner but, for softer workpieces, an orbital cutting action can be selected. Soft workpieces like wood and plastic permit deep penetration of indivi- dual saw teeth. The orbital action thrusts the blade forward on the cutting stroke and greatly increases cutting speed over conventional jig saws. Harder
