Abstract
Reciprocating cutting tools (1, 90, 100) may include a drive source (11) for reciprocally driving a blade (B). The drive source may also drive a blower (13) in order to generate an air stream. An air channel (50, 56, 50, 70, 85, 80) may guide the air stream to a position adjacent to the blade or a workpiece (W) that will be cut by the blade. Further, a chip collector nozzle (57) may draw or suction cutting chips away from the workpiece that has been cut by the blade.
