Q:I can’t get this jigsaw to cut at a reaonable perpendicular cut. The blade akways seems to bend at an angle when I make a cut! It’s frustrating.

A:Â First, make sure the bottom plate of the saw is tight & perpendicular to the blade. Slow forward movement of the saw will keep the blade perpendicular. Try the oscillating mode as well.

A: Return it. If you read the reviews on this, you will see many people have the same issue. You can mail it in, but if you can return it and buy a better one I would do that. It’s annoying. I just use it for quick cuts and I always gotta push it to the right to cut straight.

A:Â I do not know. The Bosch blades which HD recommends definitely do not fit. Video on the web indicates that Rigid blades fit, but I cannot find them. Hard to understand why HD does not carry Ryobi blades.

Better than Expected
Free shipping received it today.
I made an Acme free bird seed box from old marine plywood. This jigsaw is a beast. Cut through like butter on corn. Led a must for my aging eyes. No debris on the pathway. The blade stayed in the track. More than powerful enough. Long cord 6 ft. Very happy so far. I own a ryobi weed wacker 40v. Excellent as well. Don’t wait but this baby now. You won’t be disappointed. No bulloni do it now. The last jigsaw you’ll ever buy. Limited time offer.

Beats Harbor Freight's Bauer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For a jigsaw in the same price bracket, this one was able to cut a laminate board plus 1/2" OSB, while I had to return the equivalent Harbor Freight tool after it was unable to hold a blade. The storage bag is also a nice way to keep the manual, blades, and accessories all together.

Jig Saw Ruined Project - Do Not Buy
I bought this jig saw to trim the wood on my nice bar project. I spent a decent amount on it (~$70), but I didn't think to check the plate underneath the jig saw. The plate is held on by four round-topped screws, one of which pokes up past the plate. Most jig saws don't have screws. When I used the jig saw, the screw left deep scratches in the wood and ruined my paint job. Do not use this jig saw for your projects.

Easy To Use
This was a great addition to my garage shop and I’ve used it to on many of my DIY builds. Ranging from cutting out holes for my corn hole boards to cutting out a notches for my
variety of workbenches within my shop. I’d definitely recommend this tool!

Did well
Blades provided are too flimsy. Bought the Diablo fine finish blades and it worked without issue cutting the arch on my gate.

Dissapointed
I purchased this saw about two years ago and like all my Ryobi tools it preformed very well. The saw was perfect fro the small jobs i needed it for. Unfortunately the blades it came with have finally gave out. Here is where the problem starts. I went to my local Home Depot, where i bought the saw, to get replacements and the gentleman who helped me was quick to give me what he said would be the right blades for it. Unfortunately these blades did not fit at all. It is near impossible to find replacement blades for it. The design of the blade is a combination of the two most common blades on the market. Neither of these other blade designs will fit in to my saw. I have searched online and nothing is available. Home depot does not sell these blades in store or online. This is very disappointing because i have always been able to get everything i need a my local Home Depot. All my power tools are Ryobi and i have never had this problem with any of my other tools. I will now have to find a replacement brand saw to replace this one. I hate that i have to do this because I like i previously stated the saw works great.
