DEWALT DW331K 6.5 Amp Top Handle Jig-Saw

DEWALT DW331K 6.5 Amp Top Handle Jig-Saw

Product Description

The DEWALT Variable Speed Top-Handle Jigsaw Kit provides you with the power, precision, and innovative features you need for detailed work and curved cuts. To make fast, accurate work of tough jobs, this jigsaw kit features variable speed control in the dial and trigger, positive bevel detents on the shoe at commonly used angles, and integrated dust management. Plus a counterbalance mechanism and rubber grip minimize vibration to help keep you in control of the saw and your workpiece. This kit includes a durable kit box for easy transport.

Fast and Versatile with Variable Speed Control
The jigsaw's variable speed control allows you to make quick, accurate adjustments and utilize speeds ranging from 500 strokes per minute to 3,100 strokes per minute. This application-specific performance translates to improved control and cleaner results.

Adding to the saw's application-specific performance is a four-position orbital action for quicker, more aggressive cuts. The saw delivers a 1-inch stroke length, and its dependable 6.5 amp motor provides the power you need for tough applications. And when you're working with more delicate materials, a plastic, non-marring shoe cover protects soft or glossy materials from unwanted scratches.

In addition, the innovative DEWALT flush-cutting blade system allows you to complete flush cuts without up cutting. And positive bevel detents at 0, 15, 30, and 45 degrees make it a cinch to accurately set the shoe and blade at commonly used angles.

Designed for Control and Durability
This easy-to-maneuver jigsaw weighs just 6.4 pounds, but that doesn't mean it compromises on dependability or comfort. An all-metal gear case provides the durability necessary in a professional shop environment, while a counterbalance mechanism reduces vibration and an extra-large rubber grip dampens it. This results in improved user comfort and reduced user fatigue, allowing you to work longer and produce work with precision.

The saw's integrated dust blower helps keep your work surface clear of unwanted debris, resulting in a safer work environment. It is designed to keep your line of sight clear for improved work piece visibility while you cut.

Save Time with Tool-Free Blade Changes
Whether you're working with a variety of specialty materials that require different blades or you're simply ready for a more aggressive cut, the DEWALT tool-free, lever-action blade clamps allow you to complete blade changes quickly and securely. The blade lever is constructed of metal for added durability.

In order to provide optimal holding power, the saw accepts only T-shank blades.

This variable speed top-handle jigsaw kit also comes with a DEWALT warranty package that includes a three-year limited warranty, a one-year free service contract, and a 90-day money-back guarantee.

 A great jigsaw! October 15, 2005
I really like this jigsaw! I've been using a Bosch jigsaw, and while it is a very good jigsaw I never really warmed up to it. When Dewalt brought out the DW331K I looked it over and decided to try it. I'm glad I did. First I like the quick, easy, no tool blade change. I far prefer the lever type system that Dewalt uses to the spinning knob system that Bosch uses. Every time I changed blades on the Bosch and the knob snapped when it locked the blade in it always felt like something had just broken. Also another feature that I'm really happy with is the dust blower on the Dewalt. It works! The dust blower on my Bosch has never worked well at all. I also like Dewalt tools because they appear to be of good quality, and sensibly built. I may keep the Bosch as a backup, but when it comes to a jigsaw the Dewalt DW331K is my weapon of choice.

Great Saw, but takes some playing with April 17, 2007
I have had this saw for about 8 months now, and I have to say that it has been great. I haven't used it as much as some other people may in that time, but it's been very handy when I've needed it. When I first received this item, it seemed to have scratches on it. The blade also fell out when I went to use it. I sent it back to Amazon, who was completely awesome about the return, and received a new one.

When I got the new one, I opened the box and was shocked to see some of the same scratches on the saw that the one I sent back had. When I went to use it, I noticed the same bevel problems that others have stated- even at 0 the bevel would slide under pressure. Since the jig saw is the kind of tool you lean on a little when you use it, this was unacceptable. I called Amazon and got a third saw- figuring 3 strikes and you're out.

The third saw came, and there weren't as many "scratches". It appears upon closer inspection, that what I saw may have just been marks from the case. I started using the saw a little more and noticed something interesting. The shoe moved not only in a beveled left/right motion, but also front to back. The arm to release the shoe would give some pressure no matter what, and appear to hold the shoe in place until I put pressure on it. On inspecting the motion more closely- I realized that the shoe is designed to have the arm unlocked, then you pull back the shoe, set the bevel, push it forward to click it into place, and then lock the arm. It is VERY easy to miss this "push forward" step and then the shoe would not lock. Once it's done right though, the shoe is unmoveable. My mistake- I am glad I figured it out though. I'm not sure if this would solve other's issues with the bevel not staying in place on this saw, but I think it may.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Jig Saw ever!! March 16, 2006
I work in a car audio install bay. We use and abuse a jig saw on a daily basis. I bought this Dewalt to replace a Bosch that our shop has used for years. The Dewalt outperforms any other jig saw that we've used in our shop. A+
