I tried this jigsaw twice from the Home Depot Store and they both had the misalignment you describe: the blade is angled off-center which would cause the jigsaw to always veer left. I think this error is about 2 degrees and the acceptable tolerance is supposed to be 0 - 1/2 degree. I would try to find a jigsaw with an acceptable tolerance, preferably 0 degrees, such as a Skil jigsaw. A Ryobi circular saw, on the other hand, has perfect alignment. I check and recheck and the Ryobi circular saw has perfect alignment, as if it were manufactured with laser instruments. So, for a rule of thumb: Jigsaw: Skil (or comparable brand) Circular Saw: Ryobi (or comparable brand)
Yes 1 blade comes with it
it's very interesting that the site says to use t-shank, and others have said they bought t-shank, however, the product comes with a u-shank blade. now i'm very confused. i guess i will buy 1 of each
i don't know but the jigsaw comes with a single blade that cuts wood, metal, and plastic.
Hi Eagle. Thanks for your interest in the RYOBI 4.8 Amp Corded Variable Speed Orbital Jig Saw JS481LG. To install blade: Unplug the saw. Rotate orbital adjustment knob to position 3. Rotate the rapid change blade clamp so that the slot in the blade clamp is aligned with the slot in the blade support roller. Holding the blade clamp in place, insert the saw blade as far as possible into the slot in the blade clamp body and blade support roller. Check to make sure the back of the saw blade is centered in the slot of the blade support roller and blade clamp. Release the blade clamp. Make sure the blade is securely in place. Check that the blade is inserted fully and completely secured. Blade will lock into position when correctly installed. Thanks for asking. - Eve
Yes, but you must purchase T-Shank blades. U-Shank will not work. Make sure you specify since the in-store assistants often know less than you do.
With appropriate “T” shank blade, it will cut sheet metal
T-Shank blades. The employees often don't know the difference. A Bosch part number must start with a T. If it starts with a U, it is a U-Shank and will not work at all. "T-Shank Only"
Only 110-120
Yes but it’s a wood blade
