Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw

I like this saw with all it's neat features, but have a serious complaint. The face and the insulated handle on the saw that I purchased got extremely hot. I know of other's (one's a co-worker) who ran into a similar problem. Bosch say's it may be because of the big motor but who knows. I switched it out at Woodcraft and ran into the same problem. I ended up returning it all together

I love the changing blade feature. The blades can be changed in literally
seconds. The balance is OK and the cutting is superb. Changing the angle is incredibly simple and fast. Finally, some engineers got it right on this
model.

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.

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.

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.
