sabre saw
What would be the best scrolling jigsaw for under 100. I keep seeing
the Skil var speed with laser for around fifty with fairly good reviews, what do you all think? |

wrote in message ... What would be the best scrolling jigsaw for under 100. I keep seeing the Skil var speed with laser for around fifty with fairly good reviews, what do you all think? Bosch 1587AVSK Top-Handle Jig Saw Kit $89.00 Amazon My skill worm drive circular saw is great but a Skill 1/2 drill was a piece of crap and burned out after a very short time....I wouldn't trust any consumer grade Skill product. The Bosch 1587(older model) or the 1590(newer model) hands down has the best reputation.....Rod |

How thick a piece of wood will the laser cut? ;) I think it's to preheat the grain before you cut it.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

What would be the best scrolling jigsaw for under 100. Who cares? Get a Bosch barrel body (i.e. one made in the Scintilla factory), or maybe the good Makita. No doubt the Fein / Festool fans have their favourites too. Anything less than this just isn't playing in the same league though. A jigsaw is one hand power tool where buying one of the good ones just works far better than you'd believe, until you'd tried it. You don't have to pay Festool money, but you do have to get into the Bosch £130 region. |
