Great Product

Customer Rating:
Easy order and very timely delivery for my son-in-law's birthday. With the blades he has an operational tool that he seems to like and use a lot. Thanks.

Great - with one small complaint

Customer Rating:
This saw is so much better than what I had before that I didn't know such performance was possible. Smooth fast cuts, and minimal vibration. Blade changes are a snap.

Downside? The blade holder was not quite parallel to the body of the saw when I received it, and the manual doesn't give any way to adjust it. Oddly, the blade seemed straighter after a few dozen cuts.

A pleasure to use

My old Skil jigsaw was 10+ years old. I had no idea how much better a jig saw could be. The Bosch is powerful and has several nice features like the precision guide, no tool required blade change, blower to blow chips away, and positive lock for angled cuts.

The instruction manual is excellent due to its clear and concise information. The storage/carrying case is well designed and has enough space for the cord to fit without undue hassle.

Excellent Smooth Vibration Free Saw

Customer Rating:
This saw is much superior to my old Craftsman that died. It absorbs the cutting vibration, which greatly improves control. The sawdust blower feature is a real plus. Should you buy this saw I recommend you buy the JA1003 saw guide and JA1005 Dust Pick up kit at the same time as they are not included. Another nice accessory is the zero-clearance insert that also functions is an anti-shatter plate. This works quite well in giving a smooth cut, but buy a couple of extras, as the clear plastic insert is only pressure fit into the saw foot and can easily be lost. The only detractor I found was the saw guide could be more robust. However, it has held up so far.

Awesome saw........Cuts straight..........

Customer Rating:
This saw was worth every penny paid. It cuts straight because of the blade holding mechanisim. My old saw would let the blade bend slightly and therefore cut unsquare. It is a very powerful saw and has no trouble with any wood type. This is a dream come true.
