Questions & Answers
Timber frame knee brace question… material is 3”thick x5”wide green oak. I want to create gentle curve to scallop the knee brace. Will this do the job or will the blade wander and tilt at an angle as i start to skim material & cut in 1” and back out?
The DW331K can cut hard wood but will likely struggle with accurate, clean curves in 3" thick green oak, the blade may wander or tilt at that depth.
what is the product model number
The model number is DW331K.
Can the blade be rotated to cut close and to the side or backwards?
No, The DW331K is a 4-position orbital action Jig Saw that cuts angles at 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees.
Does this tool model have a blower on it to remove sawdust as its cutting?
Yes! It works great.
Not that I’m aware of though I could be wrong. I usually keep my air compressor close and blow the dust away every minute or two as I’m cutting.
Yes...there is a blower switch on the right hand side
The dust blower helps clear the cutting area of debris created from the blade. NOTE: When cutting metal, turn the dust blower off so cutting fluids are not blown away from the blade
what is the best speed to cut 2x4's with a 4 in. blade with 6 tooth
Speed? Let the tool do the cutting, you’ll know when you’re going too fast or too slow.
Cutting at the highest speed will not damage the wood as much.
Just got this dewalt jig saw for Christmas, does it use U shank or T shank blades?
It uses "T" type blades
It uses T-shank blades.
T
T-Shank. Great saw.
T shank blades
Does this jigsaw have a keyless blade change? Is there a mechanism to tilt the base up to 45 degrees, or do I need to remove the base plate and make a manual adjustment?
Yea it is keyless..it’s quick and easy tilt to 45 degrees and other degrees as well. no removal of base plate needed
Hello Anne Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. It is a keyless blade change. To unlock the shoe, pull the keyless bevel lever to the side. To lock the shoe, push the keyless bevel lever back under the body of the jig saw. TO BEVEL THE SHOE 1. Unlock the shoe. 2. Slide the shoe forward to release it from the 0° positive stop position. 3. The shoe can be beveled to the left or to the right and has detents at 15°, 30° and 45°. The shoe can be manually stopped at any degree between 0° and 45°. 4. Once the desired bevel angle is achieved, lock the shoe into place. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT
Can you cut metal
Hello Carl Thank you for your contact. We apologize for any trouble or inconvenience in finding information. Yes, you can metal with this saw. In cutting thin gauge sheet metals, it is best to clamp wood to the bottom of sheet metal; this will insure a clean cut without the risk of vibration or tearing of metal. Always remember to use a finer blade for ferrous metals (for those that have a high iron content); and use a coarser blade for nonferrous metals (those that do not have an iron content). Use a high speed setting for cutting soft metals (aluminum, copper, brass, mild steel, galvanized. pipe, conduit sheet metal, etc.). Use lower speed to cut plastics, tile, laminate, hard metals, and cast iron. Best Regards Sherri C DEWALT
