Yes that's what I was talking about. They are great in the sense that the blade moves back and forth rather than in and out. And it only moves about a 1/16 of an inch, so you would be less likely to loose control of it and if you did it wouldn't do as much damage as a jig saw could potentially do. And the blades are very thin so I would think you would have more room to clean up the edges or just get a smaller gap in general.

But yes, it would not do circles and you would have to come out and go back in to do a sharp corner.
