The Total TS206806 runs a 650W motor for wood and metal fabrication. A variable speed dial adjusts oscillation between 800 and 2800 RPM. This updated model jumps to 650W from 570W and increases wood cutting depth to 80mm from the previous 65mm.
Key Features
- 4-Step Pendulum Action: 4-step selector alternates between aggressive wood rips and clean metal finishes. Blade moves in a circular path to reduce friction during thick cuts.
- Variable Speed Dial: 800-2800 RPM range provides control over different material densities. Lower speeds prevent blade burn when working through 8mm steel sections.
- Aluminum Base Plate: Rigid aluminum construction prevents base plate warping under heavy downward pressure. Cut stays square during long wood-cutting sessions in high-humidity BD workshops.
- T-Shank Compatibility: Ball-bearing construction supports standard T-shank blades. Secure blade grip minimizes vibration during high-speed 2800 RPM operation.
- Integrated Dust Port: Built-in extraction port connects to external vacuum systems. Vacuum suction removes sawdust immediately to keep the cut line visible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Total 650W jigsaw cut steel?
Yes, it cuts steel up to 8mm thick. Use a T-shank metal blade and lower the RPM to prevent teeth damage from heat.
How to change blade in Total TS206806?
Insert a T-shank blade into the clamping mechanism until it seats. Pull the blade downward to confirm the lock before starting the 650W motor.
