Reciprocating Saw By: Victor Nifo Objectives: Impart knowledge concerning reciprocating saw Describe function Reciprocating Saw
Definitions Saw • Tool for cutting • Serrated blade • Worked either by hand or other power Reciprocating Saw • Straight blade mounted on gun-like body • Blade moves back and forth • Similar to jigsaw- more powerful Reciprocating Saw
Additional Information • Cut through virtually anything • Rough cuts • Models range in power, speed, and features • Industry standard: Milwaukee Sawzall • Reciprocating saw generally called a "Sawzall" Reciprocating Saw
How It Works • Battery connected to motor • Movement created by gears • Bearing allows arm to rotate with gear • Other end of arm connected to milled component • Arm is free to pivot, causing milled component to move back and forth • Motion causes teeth of blade to cut material Reciprocating Saw
Additional Notes Counterweight • Present on larger gear • Allows balanced motion of blade Case • Encloses gears and arm • Prevents: • Grease leakage • Particles affecting motion of gears Reciprocating Saw
Additional Notes Speed Holes • Located opposite to counterweight • Reduce mass to ensure balanced rotation Reciprocating Saw
Conclusion • Definition: • "Reciprocating saw" because the blade moves back and forth • Acts like a jigsaw, but more powerful and versatile • Function: • Gears and pivoted arm allow the back and forth motion of the blade Reciprocating Saw
