Fast and Steady!
Would RecommendI bought this not even a week ago and when I tried it out I was TOTALLY amazed at how fast it cut through wood. I have to admit, I had a 40 year old Black & Decker which took forever but I can’t even compare the two. The B&D is complete junk compared to this jigsaw. Oh, and there was hardly any vibration and the weight kept it steady as I cut. So far...great jigsaw!!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone! Robert

Solid saw, decent price
Would RecommendI bought this a few weeks ago, as a combo with a 18pc blade set. So far, has worked exactly as intended, cuts clean and accurate. It feels solid and well made, time will tell how durable it actually is. The only reason I gave it 4 stars, is the lack of a vacuum port, and the allen key bevel lock. Neither one is a huge deal. The blower does a good job clearing the cut line, so unless you're working somewhere super clean, the dust port isn't critical. As for the bevel, 99% of the cuts I will...

Easy blade install/replace
Would RecommendMy wife bought me this saw as a present. I have no other Bosch tools. I love this saw. Easy to use and cuts anything. I will seriously consider Bosch when my next tool purchase comes up.

Good shtuff!
Would RecommendBeen using Bosch jigsaws daily for several years and though they won't last forever, it's by far the best jigsaw out there in my opinion!

Solid Built
Would RecommendI've only used this saw once, but it did a fine job. Made a circular tabletop from some shiplap. It cut the curves smoothly and efficiently. The blade locking mechanism worked very well. It is a little heavy but very sturdy. Would recommend this saw for the do it yourselfer.

Not Square
Would Not RecommendHad the saw less than a year and have used it a good bit building Adirondack chairs from pressure treated 1x materials. Cuts well and handles smooth but to save my life I cannot get the blade square to the sole plate. This causes the cut to be at an angle, not 90 degrees. I have tried numerous Bosch blades and also to resquare the saw to no avail. Makes scroll cuts look horrible.

Great tool, and a bargain.
Would RecommendThis Bosch jigsaw works great and is so much more convenient to change blades. You just push the new blade in and go.

Broken blade within housing
I purchased the saw a year ago to cut both wood and metal. I like the saw and also selected it for the speed thay one might attach a blade to the saw. However, when cutting a metal sheet on an angle the blade broke within the housing and there appears no way to remove the broken component so that I might use the saw again. This is a significant design flaw as I see others have reported the same problem. I also note that it could be rectified buy allowing this component to be opened or it bein...

Garbage
Would Not RecommendPurchased this a few years ago and used it only a few times per year. During a recent use the spring chuck which retains the blade broke and needed replacing. Ordered a new part - which Bosch would gladed sell for $40 - abd installed it rather quickly. Two uses later and the same plastic chuck broke. If it wasn’t for the cheap chuck mechanism the saw would be great. When it did hold a blade I found plenty of power to cut thru any wood needing cut. Balance and weight is also very good. Nee...

Poor.....just quit...
Would Not RecommendI purchased this JS260 a couple years ago to replace a 10 year old B&D. I bought Bosch because they are known for quality tools. I have only used this tool for a couple of small projects and it was always cleaned and stored in the bag and back in the original box. Went to use it yesterday, made one cut fine, then the start of the second cut, it made a buzzing sound and and just quit..... Disappointed to say the least..smh...

Powerful and easy to use
Would RecommendI had originally planned on buying the 6.5 amp version for $90 but missed the boat when it jumped to &120. I’m not close to being a pro but was pleasantly surprised how easily this version cut through 3/4 inch plywood. I needed to cut 1x3” holes for wiring on shelving and the saw handled it with ease.
