Jig Saw

     A jig saw is a modern day power tool made up with a reciprocating blade, that is made to make abritrary curves, stenciled designs, or custom shapes into wood or metal. The original jig saw were just hand saws, with a handle attached to a thin blade. The first jig saw ever made was in 1946, by a Swiss engineer Albert Kaufmann to replace the sewing needle on his wife sowing machine. Older types of jig saws used screws to hold in the blade, while modern day jig saws use slots to hold in the blade. The biggest problem with all jig saws is trying to control the saw itself.
