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.....

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?





Take it back and exchange it for a circular saw,if there's one power tool
that I don't have its a jigsaw basically because they're useless for cutting
long lenghts of wood straight.
