Review Summary

If you need a jigsaw that makes spot-on perpendicular cuts, even in thick woods and tight turns, then get the top-handle Bosch JS572EN. What makes this jigsaw so special? Two roller blade guides surround the blade to keep it cutting perfectly straight up and down. (Most other saws have only one guide, if any.) We used this saw to cut sweeping and tight curves in multiple species and thicknesses of solid wood and plywood, and the blade never deflected from 90°. Impressive.

…

That cuts down on time (and abrasive) spent sanding edges with a spindle sander. In fact, when used with Bosch’s Extra-Clean For Wood jigsaw blades, the JS572EN delivered such clean edges, they needed only a light hand-sanding. We also appreciate the LED light that illuminates the cutline—another first for jigsaws—making it easier to see and cut accurately. Other great features on this premium saw: a tool-free adjustment for tilting the footplate, tool-free blade ejection (so you don’t grab a hot blade), low vibration, and a handy 13' rubber power cord with a swiveling mounting boot to prevent kinking. Buy it in a kit (JS572EL) for $299, and you’ll also get a sturdy storage box, dust-collection attachment, blade shroud, and hard-wearing steel shoe for the plastic-coated footplate. Bosch also makes this saw in a barrel-grip version at the same prices as the top handle.
