I agree with a1Jim. The generation you come from means a lot. I was taught to call them jointer/planers because they do plane a face flat. They don’t thickness plane. We also learned to call sabre saws….sabre saws. today those are jig saws. We were taught that a jig saw powers a blade. much like a coping saw blade, from the lower end. Today we use smaller, thinner, blasdes on a lighter machine and call it a scroll saw. They are different than jig saws but similiar. Drills are those devices with flutes that you put into the chuck of a drill motor. First the public misuses terms then the marketing people go with them. |
