Are these OK for cutting 40mm worktops?

As long as you don't mind it cutting where it wants to, and not
following the line you want, they're fine.


At these prices, use once and throw away!

And throw away the worktop too. :-)

Seriously, while the saw will 'cut' the worktop, you will have almost
zero control over where the cut goes. Even my fairly decent Bosch jigsaw
can have difficulty with 40mm worktop.

For straight cuts, you'd be better off with a circular saw. If you need
to do curves, you really need to buy or hire a decent jigsaw.
