I am trying to cut 40mm thick Maple worktop with an oldish Bosch 450w jigsaw
and new Bosch bimetal 'clean for hardwood' T101BRF blade, but the saw keeps
kicking/jumping off the work, despite my holding it down firmly. I have a
feeling that the speed of the blade affects things, but can't find any
information about it. Can anyone offer advice? Someone has suggested to me
that Festool FSG blades would be better.


There is no way to get a decent cut through 40mm worktop with your
jigsaw - sorry :-(

You need either a circular saw or a router. Even a really good jigsaw
would struggle through that.
