About This Product

The Bosch JS470E Top-Handle Jig Saw provides unsurpassed cut precision. Finish carpenters and kitchen and bath installers will appreciate the best-in-class 7.0 Amp motor and variable-speed control, making this saw an excellent choice for curve-cutting. A dial on the back of the tool controls the maximum speed and the accelerator trigger controls the operating speed. Built with an aluminum gearbox and an insulated cover, this jig saw comes with a low-vibration plunging design and Constant Response circuitry for consistent speed under load. It has a large die-cast aluminum footplate. The JS470E's multidirectional blade clamp delivers superior grip of T-shank blades (but it does not accept U-shank blades). The blade-ejection lever that eliminates need to touch hot blades. It has a dust blower for max cut-line visibility.

                Answer This Question

                Hi there! The JS470E jigsaw can cut through different materials. With the included blade, which is normally a general purpose blade, we recommend a blade that's designed for metal cutting.

                  Yes, however I don't think it's designed for a 2" thick cut. It's a jig saw.

                      The saw itself is fine. The case is cracked. There is evidence by the condition of the box that it was already delivered and returned by someone else. You decided you'd pass it off on me. I quickly learned the effort to return it is far more difficult than just accepting the cracked case, so it turns out your strategy paid off. Congratulations. I won't buy from you again in the future.

                      Performed below expectation and now scrap
                      I bought this model 3 years ago because it was highly rated, looking for quality. My experience after light to moderate use was that it jumped then today the blade holder snapped from the lifting rod. Part alone is half the cost of the entire unit. Needless to say, i will be buying a different brand.

                        I bought this Steel T shank to help cut through some steel from the kitchen pipes since it leaks and some wood to make an outdoor area. I love this. It’s so durable even though I used it all day to cut some wood and metal for my work. It’s also sharp and efficient. It made my workload easier. What surprised me the most is how durable it was. I’ve been using this to cut wood and metal and that little small piece of metal is so strong.

                        This Multi-Purpose Steel T-Shank Jig Saw Blades Set for Cutting Wood and Metal definitely delivers what it promises to do. I used these on all type of materials so many times and they are still in great shape. I own these about 4 years I am not using these on daily basis but often on different projects so far never had any issue with any type of materials. They cut really nice and smooth.

                          I've only used 1 blade but it did exactly what it needed to do. I really like the case and there is a good assortment of blades for future use. I used the blade to cut contours on window flower boxes.

                            Excellent blades, cut well. Just deducted one star because they seem to dull up somewhat faster than I would have expected. But, I was cutting railing post holes in composite decking, which is abrasive. All in all, they work great. I'm going to pick up replacements for the worn ones next time I'm in.

                            Out of the box, the footplate was not square to the blade, which I noticed after making a few cuts. Setting the angle back to 90 degrees was more difficult than I expected from a tool of this price and overall quality. The mechanism for adjusting the angle of the footplate is awkward. You kind of have to eyeball the angle markers to the alignment feature, which is a tiny notch on the washer plate - poor design. The footplate may shift while tightening the locking screw if you're not careful. I don't know how other jigsaws in this class compare - this was an upgrade from an old cheapo I've had for a long time, but I've got to say it was easier to adjust the footplate angle on the cheapo.
