Project Insight: Cutting Stainless Steel With Jigsaw
Why Jigsaw Cutting Isn’t the Answer for Stainless Steel Precision
The Precision Gap in Traditional Methods
Rough edges and burrs: Jigsaws struggle with stainless steel’s hardness, leaving jagged cuts that require costly secondary finishing.
Slow throughput: Manual operation and inconsistent feed rates extend lead times, delaying critical product iterations.
Dimensional inaccuracies: ±0.5mm tolerances (vs. industry-standard ±0.1mm) risk misaligned assemblies and functional failures.
Scalability challenges: Manual processes fail to maintain quality consistency across batches of 50+ parts.
Why Speed & Precision Matter in Product Development
Rapid prototyping: 24-hour turnaround for validated designs accelerates time-to-market by 30–50%.
Zero-rework assurance: Tight tolerances ensure components fit perfectly in enclosures, brackets, and chassis—eliminating costly redesigns.
Cost efficiency: Precision cutting reduces material waste by 15–20% and avoids $500+ per part in post-processing fees.
Competitive edge: Reliable, repeatable quality builds trust with clients and partners during high-stakes product launches.

Materials & Surface Finishes
Material Options & Finishes for Precision Cutting
Material Selection Guide
Aluminum (6061, 7075)
Best for: Lightweight enclosures, electrical components, and heat-sensitive applications.
Jigsaw Tip: Use fine-toothed bi-metal blades for clean cuts on gauges ≤1/8″. Avoid thick sections (>3/16″) to prevent blade deflection.
Stainless Steel (304, 316)
Best for: Corrosion-resistant brackets, chassis, and marine-grade components.
Jigsaw Tip: Grade 304 cuts cleanly with bi-metal blades at ≤1/8″ thickness. For 316 (higher molybdenum content), slow feed rates and carbide-tipped blades are essential to reduce burr. Note: Laser cutting is recommended for precision parts >1/8″ thick—our AI platform will flag this automatically.
Copper (C110, C101)
Best for: Electrical contacts, heat sinks, and RF shielding.
Jigsaw Tip: Requires carbide-tipped blades and low RPM to avoid galling. Ideal for prototyping thin sheets (<0.06″).
Surface Finishes for Maximum Performance
Powder Coating
For steel parts: Adds durable, scratch-resistant color options (e.g., black, white, or custom RAL codes). Perfect for outdoor enclosures.
Anodizing
For aluminum: Enhances wear resistance and enables vibrant color customization (e.g., blue, red, or clear for electrical components).
Mirror Polishing
For stainless steel: Creates a high-gloss, corrosion-resistant finish ideal for medical devices or premium aesthetics.
