If i want an attachment just for cutting circular holes, should i get the Reciprocating Saw Attachment or the Jigsaw attachment??

Depends on the diameter, jig saws allow for tight turn cuts, can use a scroll blade. Reciprocating saws are better for demolition cuts. I prefer to use hole cutting saw blades.

Depends how big the circle is . If its the size of your fist or smaller then you want a circle drill bit attachment . If its for large circles a jigsaw . The reciprocating saw is a messy straight cutter good for pruning trees and cutting things in half . Jig saw will sit flatter on a surface and be more accurate for following a shape

I like the Reciprocating saw for light demolition type work but if I'm needing something with a finer cut I would use the jigsaw

It depends on the size of hole and material being cut. Small holes just get a hole drill bit. Thin materials; jigsaw

Yes it is and I have to say a pretty darn good one. I use a lot and have the jig-saw attachment and it's great. Strongly recommend it. Good tool.

Yes, but so will it's twin that I have -- the wood cutting miter saw. Actually the wood cutting version has a better fence and guides for cutting PVC, and the blade spins faster.

Very similar, smaller, cordless, " hackzall" I'm glad I got it, works well. Good battery life also. Yes it is a reciprocating saw.

No, you need a jigsaw for something like that. This one is like a cheap small version of a sawzall and it vibrates, a lot.

If you're able to set up a jig for stability and accuracy - I think I would give it a try. It really puts a circular saw to the test though. Safety first!

I have a table saw and choose to use my festool ts 75 instead. It is quicker and cuts perfect straight cuts. Z germans know how too make fine tools which makes life easier.

The Shark saw is a more rough-cut saw. For baseboard and molding, you would probablyy want a finer toothed saw

I thought all reciprocating saws used the standard blade system. If really concerned, take a blade out of your B&D; saw and check the end that fits into the saw. I think you will see it is the same end as any other blade by other manufacturers. I highly recommend these blades for cutting wood/prunning trees. I use my saw all the time on my wooded 3 acres lot and these blades have not failed.

Hi, I can't see why you would want to,I believe the square cut is basically to use with circular saws only I would think, cheers

I don't have the circular saw but I don't see why you can't make them both fit. It'll take a little tetrising but you should be able to make it work.

my kit came with a masonry blade, okayto use, but i would get the homedepot tile saw, the cheap one, for cutting multiple tile

Rotary tool hands down. They're are lighter and faster (sharp bits are the key) on pre hung wall materials of any kind. But if you want a fantastic jigsaw. Buy the makita.

A reciprocating saw is best used for demo work as it is virtually impossible to get a straight cut with one. For angles and anything requiring an accurate cut you need at the least a good circular saw or preferably a compound miter saw.

Hi Cal, just to make sure I understand your question, you want to do precision cuts using the reciprocating saw? Hence your comment about the saw working for angles, molding and doors. My answer to the above is I would not use a reciprocating saw for precision cuts where you may need to join two pieces of wood at an angle or cut a door to size. The blades of the reciprocating saw are very flexible and move a lot, the action from the saw is pretty fast and shaky. If you want to have a precision cut you need a miter saw, a table saw or a circular saw (depending on the job) where the circular blade is firmer and you can control the precision of the cut. I hope this helps! Good luck.

Athena this attachment is specifically designed for Reciprocating Saws. Jigsaws are different as Dwayne, Mike and Gabriel have all stated. If you look at the "Tang" Portion of the ReciproTool it is a varation of Reciprocating Saw Blades. The Jig Saw has a disticntly different blade attachment and the ReciproTool Adapter will not work on jigsaws.

I am not aware of any attachment. I believe you will need to have diamond bore to fit this saw.
