I bought the Festool jigsaw. I have a Bosch jigsaw too. But it let
me down on a job. Would not cut the bottom off a hollow core door
straight. Blade cut at about a 45 degree angle instead of anywhere
near 90 degrees. After Bosch failed me on that job I will never buy
another Bosch tool again. The Festools double price was more than
justified for me to never again use that piece of junk Bosch jigsaw.

Even the cheapest, nastiest POS jigsaw ever made will cut closer to 90
deg than 45 deg. Have you considered that you were making a
fundamental error in operation of the Bosch jigsaw?

The Festool jigsaw cuts 90 degrees. Same operator. Same technique.
Opposite ends of the cut quality spectrum. Bosch jigsaw failed me
when I needed it. I will never trust a Bosch jigsaw.

Many will (quite rightly) never believe a thing said on the internet.
