Bosch Jig Saw

What a joy! Fired up a new Bosch 1590 EVS this weekend. Gift from theLOML. My goodness, gracious, does it cut clean! I used it on a coupleof minor cuts that I'd normally just grab the handsaw for. That damnthing crosscuts a twobyfer straighter, faster and cleaner than I canwith the HS. Probably means I need a new HS - 35 year old CraftsmanKrome Edge that's never seen a file.After using a truly anicient Skil jig saw for many years (as seldom aspossible as its cuts were slow and nasty), the Bosch was an epiphany.All the advice I read on it in here was spot-on (not that unusual ifyou pick your posters). Thanks.I KNOW it's keeper. It's going to live right by my tailess Makitadrill, on the bench, ready to hand. Hmm, almost wish it was tailess.

1591. Best tool I ever bought. Hell, I use it to cut bread, turkey, you name it.
