The jigsaw blade cuts by moving up and down. With the normal blade, the saw cuts on the upstroke. With a reverse cut blade, the cut is made on the downstroke. This leads to less tear-out, chipping, and splintering on the visible surface of the wood. However, the saw will be harder to control with a reverse cut blade. So there you have it! A reverse cut jigsaw blade is a blade with teeth that cut on the downstroke, creating less tear-out and splintering than a regular jigsaw blade.

However, blades with fewer teeth also mean a rougher cut. The U-shank Jigsaw blades are the oldest one. The type of blades requires extra tools to change blades. As a result, more time is wasted on your work ‍, and the user gets irritated. We classified the blades according to their shanks, and these shanks are only compatible with particular types of jigsaws. Some models are consistent with multiple shank types. However, most of the standard ones only accept a particular one.
