You would have it set on zero for metals and plastic for instance. This rules out cheap jigsaws altogether and do not buy a cordless one unless you have a quality battery drill that you can use the battery of. In other words you can buy a jigsaw "skin" only
That may be why the m10 in puke sells pine specific jigsaw blades.
IIRC They had a more hooked tooth on one of the strokes.

Until a couple of weeks ago when I went looking for a blade for my 10+ year old jigsaw I had only seen wood, metal, plastics in course or fine. Nowadays, must be a 50 choices in stock and a catalogue if that doesn't suit.

Finished up with a wood furniture finishing fine blade with reverse cutting action. Supposedly better at not delaminating oly and malteca etc. SMS like a bloody specific blade to me.
