I've owned jigsaws from DeWalt and Porter Cable. I thought the differences between them were small enought to come down to personal preference. But I had noticed that my Porter Cable had a tendency to throw sawdust into my eyes.
Yesterday, I was working on a project that required a lot of jigsawing. No matter what I did, I just couldn't seem to get my head positioned so that I could see through my bifocals without putting my face in the sawdust cloud the saw was spewing. Finally, I got so disgusted that I stopped what I was doing and drove down to the Borg. I came home with a Bosch 1590.
Wow! The satisfaction of using this machine is incredible. First, I was able to install a blade without cramping my fingers. It runs much smoother than either of the other saws, and I thought they were good. It's more controllable and it doesn't throw sawdust in my face. It's just a joy to operate.
