What jigsaw have you got?

Sparky FSPE 85 Pro

After some further testing with higher quality blades the problem seems to
be the blade holder and the blade roller aren't correctly aligned, the
result being the blade and base aren't at 90 degree angles. It's off, and I
can see just be looking down the base at the blade from underneath. The
roller has some play on each side, but when the blade is locked into the
holder, it pushes the roller right over to one side, meaning all the play is
on the other side. I assume then, this is why the cut starts out further
right and gets pulled left.

I'll be returning it. Build quality overall for great, except for this issue
of course. I'll look into a Makita instead
