YouTube DIY channel creators - some just get it and don't waste time with minute details, stories, anecdotes, comedy, horrible music, etc. When I'm trying to learn something I don't need any of that. This guy gets it! Thank you! Subscribed.

Thanks. This is how youtube videos should be. Straight to the point, no bs, no sales crap, just the information searched for.

Appreciate you sharing your knowledge on this tool. I have a nice jigsaw and just love it. Don’t get to use it a whole lot but for Minne applications it is just an awesome tool. I love that your video was short into the point and you didn’t ramble on about stupid stuff for 10 minutes to share something that you can do in three! Thank you for sharing.

This old video is so relevant today, December 26, 2024. Thanks for the info. Looks like '0' will always be my go-to setting.

Four year old vid drops into my feed, so I watch it, , , , happens to hold the most practical info I’ve come across in quite some time, , , been doing this stuff for years and never had this explained quite so concisely before. Subbed 👍 thanks.

I've been trying to find this exact info for months! Everyone talks about all the components. But no one ever discusses technique, or shows you all the "hows" and "whys". My questions are finally answered. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! 💘💘💘

Straight to the point. Solid advice. No unrelated chit-chat or distracting music. Every YouTube content creator should use your educational style. Subscribed.

Thanks for removing the sound of the jigsaw during cutting process, lol. Many woodworking videos I watched didn't do that so it was hard on my ears, you know how loud it can be. Nice video. ;)

I've used jigsaws for years and often wondered about the settings and why circle cuts were hard at times and easier at other times....your simple explanation will help me immensely in the future, TY

[sanjaybasu]

I loved it that you value time.. giving information directly, quickly and clearly. Thanks.

[unclepewter]

I like how straight to the point you were and how you gave examples of the difference between the settings

[IKECH]

I liked. I commented. I subscribed. Straight to the point, clear, and not wasting my time with things I'm not here for. THANK YOU!

[hariraju]

Thank you for the simple, straightforward and crystal clear explanation .

Thank you, after burning through 1.5 inches of baltic birch, I switched the jigsaw over to the 0 setting and then only had minor burning on a tight curve.

[brandyromano]

This was beautifully short. Perfect for when I’m out in the shop with a quick question.

[genghisbunny]

Clear, straightforward and informative. Clarified my thinking on this a lot, won't make the same mistakes again when cutting tight radii.

[JustMorad]

Thanks. Very clear and straightforward explanation. Just got my jigsaw and this is very helpful

[julesstone]

Thanks!! I had no idea about that switch! I was googling why my cuts angled out at bottom of timber sand stumbled across your vid! Perfect timing as I am cutting three layers of ply to creat some arch shapes! The look so
Much neater now and less routing and sanding work for this woman! THANKS 🙏💜

[philrichmond]

Thank you David. Really useful tip you've just taught me

[dingodyno]

Thanks a lot, never owned a Jigsaw before but have used it, but didn't know what this orbital thing was till i was told to turn it off for cutting straight lines through acrylic. This is what we need, explanation of things on a tool, what they do, and also the pros and cons depending on what application you are using it for as not one size fits all for everyone since we all want the same tool, but using it on different things
