Cheap jig saw recommendation

[Vicario]

I need to enlarge a cat flap hole in a PVC door panel. I would like to invest in a fairly cheap jig saw to do the job...any recommendations? Can be mains or battery operated. Thanks

Just have a look on Marketplace, plenty of adequate secondhand stuff for £10-30 that wil meet your needs.

Won't the base of the jigsaw potentially get in the way if the cat flap is low down in a recessed panel?

Be advised that very, very cheap jigsaws tend to bounce quite a bit. A better quality second hand one might be advisable.

Buy a cheap multisaw, more suitable for the job.

Hacksaw blade in a padsaw or similar handle will be so much easier than tying to mess about with a jigsaw or vibrating the panel with any other power saw.

Actually a padsaw is a good shout.

Screwfix have this on offer atm, it will be fine if you use on the non orbital setting moving it slowly on a high at a decent speed to avoid the bounce
