The Dewalt DW331K-XE should have a home in any shop in need of a fast, accurate top-handle jigsaw. This powerful machine can make exacting cuts for those intricate jobs without sacrificing speed.

The DEWALT DW331K-XE sports a powerful 701 watt motor with variable speed control, which allows it to make up to 3,100 strokes per minute, depending on the density of the material. The jigsaw has a maximum cutting capacity of 135 mm for wood, 20 mm for non-ferrous metal and 10 mm for steel. This should be more than enough for most projects.

Changing jigsaw blades can sometimes be a challenge in itself. Even if it's an easy process, most saws have you tightening and loosening keys for each blade; not so for the DEWALT DW331K-XE. Its patented, keyless blade changing system takes the headaches out of this tedious process. The system works with T-shank blades for maximum effectiveness. The saw also includes a tapered saw blade roller that helps minimize the deflection of the blade when you’re cutting material at its maximum depth. Its built-in dust blower blows any chips away from the cutting line, ensuring a smooth cut.

The shoe can also be adjusted without the use of tools. It bevels up to 45 degrees in both directions, allowing you to make accurate cuts at just about any angle. The anti-scratch cover means you don't need to worry about chipping the material.

When you're making delicate cuts with your jigsaw, there are times you want to cut aggressively to create jagged corners and times when you want a smooth cut. The DEWALT DW331K-XE has a three-position orbital action to help you get exactly the cut you need.

If you don't have a solid bench on which to rest your saw, you can sometimes end up with slips and ragged cuts if the unit tilts to one side. The DEWALT DW331K-XE includes a patented counterbalance mechanism to cut down on these occurrences. The anti-vibration system also keeps the unit from slipping, while the rubber grip gives you the leverage to hold the unit still.

Each component on the DEWALT DW331K-XE is designed in a modular form for easier servicing and self-maintenance. You can look forward to years of trouble-free operation, and should anything go wrong, you have the peace of mind of a three-year warranty.

The DEWALT DW331K-XE is yet another superior machine from DEWALT. With its tool-free operation, powerful motor and solid construction, it would be a worthwhile addition to any shop where precision cutting is required.
