Overview
Following a cut line in wood is the job of this corded Bosch jig saw, built on an ergonomic body with a large die-cast aluminum footplate and soft grip areas. An instruction guide is the only listed extra.
The reason to look is a wide metal footplate and soft grip areas on a modest-wattage motor. The limit is that wood is the only recommended surface, and no blades are listed in the kit.
Who it's for
Woodworkers and DIYers cutting curves, notches and angled edges. The soft grip areas ease hand fatigue. Those who plan to cut metal should check the maker for blade and speed guidance.
Pros and cons
- Die-cast aluminum footplate
- Soft grip areas
- Bevel cutting angle
- Safety certifications listed
- Wood is the only listed surface
- Blades not listed in the kit
- Plastic handle material
Performance notes
A rigid footplate stays flat on the workpiece, which reduces wobble and improves the angle of bevel cuts. Motor wattage and blade speed decide how smoothly it moves through thick boards. A longer blade reaches deeper but can flex more.
