Good blades certainly do help, expecially in jig saws and circular saws.

However, in the case of a jig saw, the quality and engineering of the
blade holding mechanisms etc. are key to the ability of the saw to
maintain the stability of the cut.

There is a world of difference between the sub £50 jigsaw and the £100
products of Bosch, Makita et al.

It might not work out with a cheaper jigsaw and any old blade on one
attempt, but it doesn't mean it can't be done.

OK the right blade and a little technique are needed but it's quite
possible to get very good results.
