It was the first time in my life that I worked with a disk; my experiences were favorable; I sliced a furniture board (planked) like butter and, in principle, evenly (hands are crooked; well, I didn't saw it before); in a nutshell, the disk is an essential accessory for the jigsaw. We need a vacuum cleaner since it makes the dust much more manageable (at times). Because the disk that is included for sawing floorboards and beams, laminate, and thin attractive things is incompatible with the machine, you will need to purchase an additional disk.
