Overview
The SKIL JS313101 is a corded jigsaw powered by a 500 watt motor on 120 volt AC current. It weighs 4.52 pounds and cuts up to 5 inches, built around a high speed steel blade for curved and detail work.
SKIL positions the JS313101 as an entry level corded jigsaw, and the 500 watt motor and 120V AC power source back that up. A 5 inch cutting capacity and high speed steel blade material point to a saw meant for detail and curved cuts in wood rather than metal cutting duty.

- 120 volt AC corded power
- 5 inch cutting capacity
- High speed steel blade
Who it's for
This suits DIYers making curved cuts, cutouts, or detail work in wood who want a corded saw with a 5 inch cutting capacity. It is not a substitute for a circular saw when long straight rip cuts are the main job.
Pros and cons
- 5 inch cutting capacity for detail work
- Corded power avoids battery runtime limits
- 4.52 pound weight keeps it maneuverable
- Cord limits mobility away from outlets
- Not suited to long straight rip cuts
Performance notes
The 500 watt motor runs on 120 volt AC power to move the blade through cuts up to 5 inches, with the high speed steel blade material suited to holding an edge through curved cutting. At 4.52 pounds it stays light enough to guide through tight turns and cutouts.
