JS365 120V 6.5 Amp Top-Handle Jigsaw Kit Variable Speed, 45 Degree Bevel Cuts, Up to 3,000 SPM

This Jigsaw is well made and works better than some of the others I have used. It is easy to use and changing blades is a snap. It is hefty and looks to be a good value.

Love it! I’ve had one for over 30 years that I use almost daily improvements over the last 30 years just made it even better!

The Bosch JS365 is an excellent jigsaw for the price. To understand where I'm coming from, I've an avid woodworker and have been using wood saws for over 30 years. I've never though much of jigsaws up to this point and have only used them from really roughing out curved cuts in thin soft wood. I've had this negative bias for jigsaws since I've never paid anything more then 50-$60 for them. I've had skill, craftsman and probably worse when I was younger. Now using this JS365, I'm honestly really happy with it. It cuts amazingly fast with the Bosch blades. It cuts pretty cleanly and although I've had some small tear out on one side of a rift cut (Sweet Gum), I hadn't tried a different less aggressive blade on that piece so I won't fault anyone but myself so far. The saw is easy to keep on course and has good line of site to see where you are going. I researched jigsaws over and over before purchasing this one and I was a little apprehensive about paying this much but honestly, this tool feels great and I'm now using it more often then I would have expected because it works that well. Sure, the higher end ones may be even better with nicer blade guides but I think unless you are full time professional or money comes easy for ya, you won't need the higher end ones and you'll really like this one. Well, I did.

This is a powerful and very well built saw. What I really love is the little blower that blows sawdust from in front of the blade so you can see what you are cutting. I do not understand why other jigsaws have a light but no blower. The light on those models just illuminates the sawdust in front of the blade. With this saw you can see exactly what you are cutting. The case it came in is very solid as well.

Any Bosch products I have bought are well engineered and made with quality materials and this jig saw is included. The grip is comfortable, the vibration is minimal, and it is easy to see the material being cut.

The BOSCH JS365 jigsaw performs well overall. The tool-less blade change system is quick and convenient, and the blade ejection lever helps avoid touching hot blades, which is a nice safety feature. The 6.5 amp motor provides sufficient power, and the variable speed control allows for precise cutting on wood, aluminum, and steel. The four orbital-action settings offer versatility for different cutting needs. However, the tool is a bit heavy, which may cause fatigue during extended use. While it’s rated for indoor and outdoor use, I would recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to moisture to protect the motor. Overall, this jigsaw offers good value and is suitable for DIYers and semi-professionals.

have not used yet but it looks to be fairly straight forward.

As a novice woodworker, I am very satisfied with this tool. It cuts quickly and smoothly with very little tear out. Its' speed and cutting adjustability are adequate for both hard and soft woods. I would definitely recommend this tool.
