Jigsaw Fein ASTS 18-26 AS N00 — cordless plunge-cut jigsaw, model ASTS 18-26 AS N00

Fein ASTS 18-26 AS N00 is a cordless plunge-cut jigsaw designed for accurate bevel and plunge cuts in wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals. As a battery-powered tool it provides freedom of movement on job sites and in workshops, allowing precise template cutting, on-site installation work and fine finish carpentry without the limitations of a power cord. The tool combines a compact body with plunge-cut capability and adjustable bevel settings to handle angled cuts and interior cutouts.

Advantages

The cordless design ensures mobility and fast repositioning during installation and repair tasks. The plunge-cut mechanism enables starting cuts in the middle of panels without pre-drilling, and adjustable bevel settings deliver precise angled cuts. Compact ergonomics and a dedicated blade system support control and cut quality across wood, plastics and non-ferrous metals. Battery operation reduces trip hazards and simplifies use in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Plunge cuts in interior panels and countertops
• Bevel and angled cuts for finish carpentry
• Template and pattern cutting in wood and plastics
• On-site installations where cable-free operation is required
• Cutting non-ferrous metals such as aluminum sheets and profiles

Key specifications

• Power source: battery (cordless)
• Cut type: plunge-cut and bevel-cut capable
• Material compatibility: wood, plastics, non-ferrous metals
• Bevel angle: adjustable for angled cuts
• Compact, ergonomic housing for one-handed control

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the cutting line or template. Fit a blade appropriate for the material and ensure it is installed according to the manufacturer’s blade-mount instructions. Set the desired bevel angle if an angled cut is needed. For plunge cuts, align the saw at the start point, engage the plunge mechanism and apply steady feed, maintaining control of the shoe against the workpiece. For through cuts, begin with the soleplate in contact and guide the saw smoothly along the marked line. Use appropriate cutting speed and steady pressure to avoid blade binding.

Usage recommendations

Use blades matched to the material type and tooth geometry for best results; finer-tooth blades work better for thin metals and plastics, while coarser blades are appropriate for faster wood cutting. Wear eye and hearing protection, secure loose clothing, and clamp the workpiece. Monitor battery charge level and allow the tool to cool in case of prolonged heavy use.
