Cutting Speed
A swift, clean cut reflects the cutting speed of a saw. Both stroke length and stroke speed determine cutting speed. Stroke speeds can vary between 2,600 to 3,300 strokes per minute, while the stroke length varies narrowly between 1 to 1-1/4 inches. Typically, a 3000 SPM stroke speed and a 1-1/8 inch stroke length will provide the high-performing cutting speed you need
Variable Speed Trigger
Variable Speed Trigger
The cutting speed generally refers to the maximum speed that a reciprocating saw can move. A variable speed trigger allows you to match the speed of your saw to the type of cutting you need to do. Slower speeds are preferred for metals, while faster speeds are more ideal for cutting wood.
Adjustable Shoe Option
Adjustable Shoe Option
It is crucial to have controlled handling while operating a reciprocating saw. When selecting the best cordless reciprocating saw, look for an adjustable shoe. The shoe allows you to stabilize the saw against your workpiece for better control and reduces the amount of vibration that occurs.
Type of Motor
Type of Motor
The two main types of motors that are commonly used in reciprocating saws are brushed and brushless motors. Brushed motors are inexpensive and reliable, and generate considerable torque, however, they wear out periodically. Brushless motors are preferred, because they generate no friction, produce less heat, provide better performance and are far more efficient compared to brushed motors. Moreover, they are easier to maintain because there is no need to replace brushes over time.
