As mentioned in another thread, I just bought a Bosch 1590EVS orbital jigsaw. The orbital feature does not appear to do anything-- I know the diagrams in the manual are exaggerated, but should the orbital action be visible to the naked eye? I'm wondering if the control lever is actually attatched to anything...
The electronic speed controller won't run it any slower than 500 strokes/min, but holding the saw next to a straight edge, it sure looks like the blade is going straight up and down regardless of the orbital setting.
Other than that, it cuts very nicely. (No comparison at all to the old POS saw it replaced.)
