Is a sabre saw same thing as a jigsaw?
About 100 USD for a sheet up here. Metal Market centers gouge poor guys that need small orders. |

Yes, same as a jigsaw. Some calls it a jigsaw, I calls it a Sabre saw.

technicalities
I readily agree many folks and even merchants currently use the terms interchangeably.
At the risk of being "that guy" I'm going to venture into splitting hairs here: The retired shop teacher in me traditionally considered reciprocating power saws without a sole plate to be sabre saws. Often having longer, pointier, blades, but not always. For sabre saw, think of Milwaukee's famous trademarked Sawzall, or the ubiquitous body shop air saw like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152446308622 For jigsaw, think "has a sole plate" and of the first power saw your grandad might have let you use: https://www.ebay.com/itm/12552281282...Bk9SR9CN36juYA For those still reading, please notify search and rescue, as I am obviously lost in tiny town tonight.

Jigsaw ..... and "sabersaw" fixture
"Jigsaw" .... I think this is the style I have seen and used for many years:
https://www.khmtools.com.ph/products...gsaw-table-saw AKA "scroll saw" Rockwell-Delta-Scroll-Saw-1.jpg https://www.bobvila.com/articles/best-scroll-saw/ My old one is similar to the above photo: cast iron and has a 1/4 hp elect motor. Table is 16x16in. Uses little 8in. long blades, varying in width from 1/16in - for fine scroll cutting on musical instrument sound boxes - to 1/4in for accurate curvy cutting 1in thick maple for standing wall-clock bodies... Very handy (& solid) benchtop tool, that weighs about 25 lbs. Here also - a pic of adapting a "sabersaw" (sabresaw) to a fixture for having a "jigsaw"-type cutting machine: 61JYK6LYUlL._AC_SL1403_.jpg ...By one name or another, an up-down fast-moving reciprocating saw blade mechanism (whatcha-maycallit) cuts thin sections ....
