Situation normal, then.

I used a jigsaw yesterday to cut a lot of 2.4m featheredge boards. I quite often use it for cutting skirting/picture rails, the sole plate tilts which can be useful.

Why strangely? Is your Bosch the one with the click-stop turn cap on top of the blade (that shakes loose if you abuse the machine)? IIRC there's a little compartment to lose blades from if you use it, too.

I've never had that happen. And I've had it many years.

Yup. Strange they can't design something which clips closed adequately.

I've experienced it cutting sheet steel with a too-coarse pitch blade. Good way of knackering blades, too. If you let that happen, or any other thing that causes very bad hammering, it can chip the (then overloaded) gears, too.
