Just got myself a new jigsaw(£70). When starting a cut the blade wanders to
the left about 8mm and stays there, happens everytime, no matter what
direction. Even when using a guide.....

See pics here http://www.imagehosting.com/show.php...igsaw.jpg.html.
This cut was made using a guide, I've just moved it back so youi can see the
poor cut.

What's to blame? jigsaw? blade? me?





I've had the same problem with several jigsaws. Invariably I end up
lifting the safety flap and watching where the blade actually goes
rather than where the guide indicates it is supposed to be going. I
don't know the cause either.
