Advanced tool technology is what we have come to expect from The Skil Tool Company, and the Skil 4580-04 Jigsaw meets that challenge. The Skil 4580-04’s reciprocating blade can be adjusted for angled work or turned a full 360 degrees without moving the base of the tool off the work’s surface. With the proper blade selection, the 4580-04 not only cuts wood but the Skil 4580-04 can scroll/cut sheet metal, metal pipes, plastic stock, plastic pipes or just about any material in your shop.
Once you have selected the proper blade, correct speed and blade adjustment, the Skil 4580-04 jigsaw’s base and foot will glide smoothly over finished work surfaces that could easily be damaged by other cutting or boring tools. For precision cutting you can rely on the Skil 4580-04 Scrolling/Orbital Jigsaw’s powerful 5 amp, variable speed motor and the built-in work light to make scroll cutting easier than ever before.
The tool has a soft handle for that "feel-good" grip and a variable speed, two-finger, trigger that allows for full control whether you’re scrolling intricate patterns or cross cutting hardened wood. A single lever on the bottom of the tool allows the jigsaw’s foot to be adjusted in increments up to and including a 45-degree angle. The angle for bevel cutting can be set on either side of the tool. The handy side-mounted Orbit/Scrolling Control Lever adjusts the pitch of the blade to allow for precise cutting of hardwoods, plastics, softwoods or metal.
The Skil 4580-04 also features a tool-less blade holder which you simply squeeze to remove or to replace the tool’s blades, and when it’s time to make long straight cuts the Skil 4580-04 has a built-in work light to illuminate the work’s surface and at just the right angle. Add to this a blade storage compartment, a starter saw blade and a handy carrying case and you have an excellent multi-tasking tool.
