Would RecommendWas looking for a replacement jigsaw that burned out last year and am very pleased with this Bosch jigsaw. Blade changes are a snap and it cuts as expected...no surprises. Have a Bosch tablesaw and dishwasher...outstanding products!

A very good jigsaw
Would RecommendI needed a good jigsaw to notch 1x and 2x boards for a deck. My old one just wasn't up to it. I found this on sale and it is doing the job very nicely. The variable orbit feature is great. The variable speed is probably standard these days (not on my old one), but makes it easy to use. The tool-free blade attachment is probably the nicest feature, but I sometimes have a little trouble inserting a blade.

Blade securing system the best.
Would RecommendBought this product because my old jigsaw blade securing screw was stripped and it would not keep the blade stable. Really like the blade changing and securing and the overall balance of the tool when in use. Blade guide gives the tool a solid feel when cutting thick material. Tool has ample power and I am really pleased with the quality for the price.

Good, That Could be Great
Would RecommendBeing Bosch, it has excellent craftsmanship in manufacture. This jigsaw also operates buttery smooth, and has plenty of power. There are areas for improvement that would make it great. The scale underneath for adjusting the base for bevel cuts is nearly invisible; you cannot see the cut you're making unless you lean down to the side of the saw to look underneath it while operating; and the base doesn't accommodate a guide fence. Otherwise, it would be five stars. Excellent power and operation s...

Bosch 6 Amp Jigsaw
Would RecommendSolidly built saw, you can feel the quality in the hefty weight of the saw. Cuts through the hardest wood like butter, and doesn't bind when making sharp cuts in the stock.

Great tool
Would RecommendThis tool did everything expected and more. It is very easy to operate, provides a great cut, and the anti-splinter insert is a great plus.

I was eagerly looking forward to using my new Jig Saw for the first time when I went out to my Garage an realized that thieves had broken into my garage and stolen about $1,250.00 worth of my power tools, including my new Jig saw. I will have to purchase another one soon so I can try it out. I will find a safer place to store it next time.

Great saw with very low vibration
Would RecommendI just cut a kitchen sink hole in a 2 inch thick pick of wood and it cut smooth and with little effort. There is a small wheel "guide" that holds the blade in place which apparently helps reduce vibrations to the point of being of no concern. Easy to round corners and/or go straight. Bosch make high quality items. I have several of their tools and have never had an issue with quality. Cheers to all.
easy to use
Would RecommendI bought this product 3 weeks ago and I love it. It handles very well and i love the ease which the motor revs up and slows down. a great tool at a great price!!!

Excellent tool. Great value for money.
Would RecommendI bought this tool for doing small projects at home. It is very handy and useful. The only issue I have is some splintering of wood when I cut it.

The Bosch js260 is perfectly designed...
Would Recommendto throw every bit of saw dust from the cut line into the eyes of the left handed carpenter. The saw itself is good. The blade change is an improvement. My last Bosch "d" handle jigsaw lasted me a decade of daily use, and worked well enough to inspire brand loyalty. I wish that as a lefty I was able to use this one. P.S. this is the first review I've ever written.

dissapointing
Would Not RecommendBought this jigsaw 2 years ago but have only used it maybe a dozen times. The keyless chuck quit working and now the saw is out of warranty and garbage. Threw it in the garbage and went and bought a DeWalt. The easy chuck blade system in this saw needs some serious improvement. Dont waste your money
Great Saw
Would RecommendThis is the 1st quality jig saw I've owned. I did a lot of research and coupled with the experience I've had with other Bosch tools I knew I couldn't go wrong.

Thank you for your comments. The Model JS260 has an always-on blower so there is no way to shut it off. We do offer the JS470E and JS572E jigsaws that...
