DeWalt DWE349-GB 650W 230V Corded Jigsaw – Variable Speed, Pendulum Action, 85mm Wood Cutting

Overview

Take on accurate straight, curved and bevel cuts with the DeWalt DWE349-GB 650W Corded Jigsaw, a compact power tool designed for timber, sheet material, aluminium and steel cutting.

Its 650W brushed motor delivers a variable no-load stroke rate of 500–3,200spm, allowing you to match the cutting speed to the material and blade being used. A 20mm stroke length and adjustable pendulum action help balance cutting speed and finish across different applications.

The DWE349 accepts T-shank jigsaw blades and features a tool-free blade clamp, allowing worn or unsuitable blades to be changed quickly without searching for an Allen key or screwdriver.

A tool-free adjustable aluminium shoe enables bevel cutting up to 45° left or right, while the removable anti-scratch shoe cover helps protect more delicate finished surfaces.

With cutting capacities of up to 85mm in wood, 20mm in aluminium and 10mm in non-alloy steel, the DWE349 provides useful versatility for carpentry, fitting, maintenance and general workshop work.

Key Features & Benefits

• Reliable Cutting Power – 650W Corded Motor
  The 650W motor provides continuous mains-powered performance without batteries, charging downtime or runtime limitations.
• Match the Speed to the Material – 500–3,200spm
  Variable speed adjustment lets you slow the blade for more controlled cutting or increase the stroke rate when faster material removal is appropriate.
• Fast Blade Movement – 20mm Stroke Length
  The 20mm blade stroke helps the jigsaw cut efficiently through timber, aluminium, mild steel and compatible sheet materials.
• Cut Timber up to 85mm Thick
  DeWalt rates the DWE349 for a maximum cutting depth of 85mm in wood, making it suitable for boards, panels, shelving and many general carpentry applications.
• Cut Aluminium up to 20mm
  With the correct blade and settings, the tool can cut non-ferrous metal such as aluminium up to 20mm.
• Cut Steel up to 10mm
  Maximum rated cutting capacity in non-alloy steel is 10mm, adding useful versatility for workshop and installation tasks.
• Faster Cutting When Required – Pendulum Action
  The pendulum/orbital cutting system allows the blade movement to be adjusted according to the desired cutting speed and finish. DeWalt documentation describes three selectable orbital settings in addition to straight cutting.
• Tool-Free Blade Changes
  The keyless blade clamp allows T-shank blades to be installed and removed quickly, helping reduce downtime between materials or cutting tasks.
• Tool-Free Bevel Adjustment
  The shoe can be angled without additional tools for bevel cutting, making it easy to move between straight and angled cuts.
• Bevel Cuts up to 45° Left or Right
  The base supports bevel adjustment from 0° to 45° in either direction, with commonly used stop positions including 0°, 15°, 30° and 45°.
• Protect Finished Surfaces – Anti-Scratch Shoe Cover
  The removable shoe cover helps reduce marking when cutting laminated boards, workpieces with finished surfaces and other materials where scratches matter.
• Dust Extraction Facility
  The DWE349 incorporates provision for dust extraction, helping manage sawdust when connected to suitable compatible extraction equipment.
• Comfortable Top-Handle Design
  Its compact ergonomic body and rubberised soft grip help provide secure control during straight, curved and angled cuts.
• Fan-Cooled Motor
  Integrated fan cooling helps manage operating temperature during sustained cutting work.
• No Battery Management Required
  Because the DWE349 runs directly from a 230V mains supply, it is particularly useful for workshop and site applications where continuous power is available.

Why Choose This Product

The DeWalt DWE349-GB is a practical choice for users who want consistent jigsaw performance without investing in batteries and chargers.

Its 650W corded motor is paired with a broad variable-speed range, allowing the tool to handle delicate controlled cuts as well as faster general material removal. The adjustable pendulum action adds another level of control by changing how aggressively the blade moves through the workpiece.

For everyday carpentry, its 85mm timber capacity covers a wide range of boards and sheet materials, while the ability to cut aluminium and steel means the same machine can be used for many installation and maintenance jobs.

Tool-free blade and bevel adjustments are particularly useful when moving between tasks, while the anti-scratch shoe cover helps maintain a cleaner finish on visible workpieces.
