Compact jigsaw for accurate sawing
The Parkside PSTKA 12 B3 stands out from other inexpensive jigsaws by having a mushroom-shaped front holder instead of the more traditional D-handle. Many believe that this shape contributes to the implementation of curly cuts with maximum accuracy and is better suited for cutting small details. The tool body is narrow and elongated. It provides excellent visibility of the cutting line when sawing straight, curved or at an angle. Such features of the jigsaw plus the ability to work without wires allow craftsmen to demonstrate aerobatics in figured sawing. The manufacturer claims that this tool can cut wood up to 70 mm thick and aluminium up to 3 mm. But it should be noted that 70 mm is almost at the limit of the jigsaw's capabilities (after all, Parkside jigsaws are a DIY tool and do not claim to be professional equipment). So that he does not “choke” from the load and sawed at an acceptable speed, it is better to limit himself to working with materials having a thickness of up to 20 - 30 mm (for example, parquet board, plywood, MDP, chipboard, OSB and other wood processing products).
Functions and features
Although the power of the Parkside PSTKA 12 B3 jigsaw is not particularly impressive, it has such an interesting and rare feature as the speed control function. The user can adjust the frequency of the saw strokes (though not in a very wide range of 1500 - 2800 strokes / min), and the engine will automatically maintain the set value, regardless of the change in load during sawing. Due to the constant speed, the cleanest cut and the uniform movement of the jigsaw over the surface are ensured - indispensable conditions necessary for accurate cutting of thin boards and sheet lumber. Turnovers are regulated by a wheel, which is located in the back of the case, and the start button is located under the thumb of the right hand. Next to the button there is an indicator of multi-colored LEDs that shows the remaining charge in the battery, and a white LED built-in near the cartridge acts as a backlight. The pendulum mechanism switch has two operating positions that differ in "aggressiveness" and a zero position at which the pendulum is completely off. For bevel cuts, the soleplate tilts to both sides (to the left by 22.5° and 45°, and to the right by 15°, 30° and 45°). The quick-clamp saw blade clamping mechanism can hold T-shank saw blades.
The jigsaw is just part of the cordless tool collection
The jigsaw comes with a parallel stop, two files (a long one with large teeth for sawing wood, a short one with a fine tooth for woodworking) and an adapter for connecting a vacuum cleaner. The kit also includes a sole pad that won't leave marks on delicate surfaces like laminated materials. All of the listed accessories, along with the tool itself, are in a compact plastic case with metal locks. But the battery and the device for charging it are not included. You must purchase a 2 Ah or 4 Ah Parkside charger and battery separately. These 12-volt clip-on batteries also fit other inexpensive cordless tools of the same brand: screwdrivers, renovators, planers and mini grinders.
