This jigsaw is the one to buy. With the quick release blade changing is a breeze. It has the quality needed for professional use .
The biggest plus for me is how the blade stays at 90 deg. I'm a building contractor for over 20 years and have owned other jig saws but nothing like this. If you want the best, buy the Bosch. even with thick material. change blades (easy and fast) and make very fine cuts.
(The precision lock on the blad really makes a different with that). Because of that, the jigsaw is a very important tool.Unfortunately, the jigsaws I've owned in the past have failed to live up to their potential because of various problems that prevented them from being used for any type of close/finish work at all. I'm the type of person that loves to build/remodel stuff when I get a chance - but I also have a fairly limited amount of space for storing the large tools that I would love to own. I've also found that the angle cutting works perfectly and is very useful.In the last month, I've used this saw to get into tight spaces when building shelves as well as cutting out sheetrock and modifying some custom boxes that I've been working on. Basically, these were just glorified saws-alls in a different form factor.Anyway, the Bosch 1590EVSK is the first jigsaw I've owned that really is capable of the type of work I had always envisioned for it. I love how the blade locks in securely and stays straight when cutting. Tomorrow, I'm going to break it out again as I build a new table in the laundry room for my wife.The only minor complaint I have about this saw is how high the blade sits above the base. This causes some issues when using some of the short precision blades in thicker material like melamine.Overall, I highly recommend this jigsaw.
The clips that hold the operator manual in place are not spaced right and too short to keep the manual secure. This Bosch 1590EVSK is a very good saw.Much better that any of the jig saws I have owned, such as milwaukee, makita, and craftsman.It is a heavy duty saw and is heavy.The only reason I rated it 4 vice 5 is for some perks that irk me.The quality of this saw lacks attention to detail.The casting parts could be machined and fitted better, the decals are outside the cut-out by a long shot and can not be removed without destroying them. The housing and plastic parts are scratched up, nicked, and feel cheap.The case is not as well designed as it could be, IMHO. Mine keeps falling out. Maybe it is just mine.Overall the saw operates really fine and is heavy duty.A bit pricey but what isn't anymore.Cuts everything you throw at it and runs smooth and quiet.
This made me return the saw after one day. Dust blower on this saw is very weak at lower speed. Most dust lands at the cutting line. Bought Milwaukee instead. Works great so far.
