Draper Expert 230V Jigsaw, 750W

For precise, versatile cutting across timber, sheet materials, and metal, the Draper Expert JS750E 750W Jigsaw delivers the power, control, and build quality that professional tradespeople and advanced woodworkers demand. Part of Draper's Expert range of professional-grade power tools, the JS750E combines a robust 750W motor with variable speed control, pendulum action, and a quick blade change facility to handle a comprehensive range of cutting tasks with confidence and accuracy.

At the heart of the JS750E is a powerful 750W motor with a variable no-load speed range of 0–3,000rpm, giving you precise control over cutting speed to match the material, blade, and task in hand. Lower speeds suit cleaner, more controlled cuts in metals and laminates, while higher speeds deliver fast, efficient cutting through timber and sheet materials. The 26mm stroke length ensures positive, aggressive material removal even at the top of its impressive 120mm maximum wood cutting capacity — making it equally at home ripping through thick structural timbers as it is cutting intricate curves in thinner sheet materials.

Pendulum action adds a further dimension of versatility, increasing the aggressiveness of the cutting stroke for faster progress through timber while allowing it to be reduced or disabled for cleaner, more precise cuts in metal, plastic, and delicate materials. Combined with variable speed control, this gives the JS750E an exceptional range of cutting modes for a single tool.

The quick blade change facility makes swapping between blade types fast and tool-free — a genuine time-saver on busy job sites where switching between wood, metal, and specialist blades is a regular requirement. The rigid aluminium base plate provides a stable, low-friction cutting platform that glides smoothly across workpiece surfaces while maintaining accurate tracking along cut lines. A dust extraction facility keeps the cut line clear and your workspace cleaner, and the parallel guide ensures straight, repeatable rip cuts with confidence.

Supplied in a carry case with a wood cutting blade, parallel guide, and a 2m cable with BS plug, the JS750E is ready to work straight from the box. At just 3kg it's comfortable for extended use on site or at the bench.

Specifications

FAQ Section

What is the maximum wood cutting capacity of the Draper JS750E?
The JS750E has a maximum wood cutting capacity of 120mm, making it capable of cutting through substantial structural timbers, thick engineered boards, and deep section sheet materials in a single pass.

What is pendulum action on a jigsaw and why does it matter?
Pendulum action causes the blade to move in a slight forward arc on the upstroke as well as reciprocating up and down. This increases the aggressiveness of the cut and speeds up material removal — particularly beneficial when cutting through thick timber. Reducing or disabling pendulum action gives a cleaner, more precise cut better suited to metal, plastic, laminates, and fine woodwork.

Does the JS750E have tool-free blade changes?
Yes. The quick blade change facility allows blades to be swapped rapidly without tools — a significant time-saver when alternating between wood, metal, and specialist blades on busy job sites or in production workshop environments.

What type of base plate does the JS750E have?
The JS750E features a rigid aluminium base plate, which is more durable and dimensionally stable than pressed steel alternatives. The aluminium base resists distortion under load, glides smoothly across workpiece surfaces, and helps maintain accurate tracking along cut lines throughout extended use.

Can the JS750E cut metal?
Yes. With a maximum metal cutting capacity of 10mm and variable speed control that allows lower speeds suited to metal cutting, the JS750E handles sheet metal, mild steel plate, and non-ferrous metals when fitted with an appropriate metal cutting blade.

What accessories are supplied with the JS750E?
The JS750E is supplied in a carry case with a wood cutting blade, parallel guide for straight rip cuts, and a 2m cable with BS plug — ready to use immediately from the box.

What does the dust extraction facility do?
The dust extraction port channels sawdust and debris away from the cut line during operation, keeping your cut line visible for more accurate tracking. The port is compatible with a workshop vacuum for more thorough dust management.

Is the JS750E suitable for curved cuts?
Yes. The JS750E's variable speed control, pendulum action, and responsive blade action make it well suited to cutting curves, scrollwork, and profile cuts in timber and sheet materials — in addition to straight cuts guided by the parallel fence.
