BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw, 5-Amp, 3,000 Blade Speed, 45 Degree Beveled Cuts, ¾-Inch Orbital Blade, 4 Curve Settings, Corded (BDEJS600C)

Works Perfect!

My old POS Black and Decker jigsaw died, and I decided to go with B+D again. I use a jig saw maybe once or twice a year (last year was an exception due to COVID projects), so didn't need an overpriced jigsaw with features I would not really need. I have wanted extra power a few times, so I opted for a model with the orbital and the reciprocating mode, too. I just cut out a cat door in one of my inside doors. After I drilled the pilot holes, it took me just under 60 seconds to cut the entire hole out. It was surprisingly precise and was easy to stay on my ruler marks. Now this was not a heavy wooden door, but it did cut through the MDF and insulation easily. The black plate did leave some dark marks, so maybe an unfinished silver plate surface would have been a better choice. The other thing I wish this had was an LED light or laser...but that's being greedy for the price. I'll try some heavier boards and the orbital speeds, but so far I'm completely satisfied with the purchase and value.

Very good machine. Highly recommended

Received this saw yesterday and used it for the first time today. It has good balance and cuts curves nicely. However, the three notches in the bed plate that are supposed to be for alignment really don't do anything for you because they are blocked from view by the wire guarding the blade. Blade changes are very quick and simple but I was disappointed that the saw only came with one blade and it was too coarse for me to use it on my project, had to go out and but the correct blade. Speed is controlled by pressure on the trigger but this can create a DANGEROUS situation. Make sure that your finger is well away from the trigger when you are picking the saw up or putting it down and as you are holding it as well. The trigger is super sensitive and the slightest touch will start the blade moving. Not really something I like a lot but I can get used to it. I poked a couple of holes in my workbench when putting it down for the first time because I slightly bumped the trigger. I have not tried to adjust the bed plate for angled cuts but the instructions that come with the saw are not actually for this saw but it is easy enough to figure things out. The four adjustments on the dial control how the blade acts and I played with them a bit and didn't see a lot of difference, the speed control is what makes this work well. It is comfortable and not too heavy and seems to have good power to cut through wood, although I have only used it on 3/4" stock and 1/2" plywood. I think I would buy this saw again, and it is a good value for the price.

What more could you want? These are dependable tools that do the job and last a long time.

Ergonomically, the BLACK+DECKER Jig Saw is very user-friendly. The handle is comfortable and well-designed, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. The tool feels balanced and sturdy, which enhances control and accuracy while cutting. The included blade change mechanism is quick and convenient, making it simple to switch blades as needed. The 45-degree bevel cutting capability is another highlight. It allows for accurate angled cuts, which is perfect for making beveled edges and complex joints.

Wish it came with more blades but works as intended.

Extremely easy to use, maneuver, it's lightweight, my tiny girl hands can work this like a pro (ok close lol) after just a few minutes of practice. Cut through like slightly softened butter on very hard to cut vintage wall panel (to expose an old covered window) and my sink cabinet\vanity that was much thicker. My other saws were just too much for these projects and too big to fit into those spaces. This worked perfectly, can't wait to try it out for more crafty projects.

Not legal for them to sell like this in UK

Using now for over two years and still good

Sin lugar a dudas es una de las mejores herramientas que he comprado de la marca esa caladora es muy fácil de usar incluso tiene un control de velocidad Uno de los detalles que lo hacen fácil de utilizar es que no necesitas llave para cambiar la segueta con simplemente jalar una palanca y soltarla así de fácil se puede cambiar la segueta Además se ve de una muy buena construcción el plástico se ve que es bueno y tiene un forro antiderrapante que te da confianza a la hora de manipular y trabajar con este Muy buena Aunque había leído que no era de muy buena calidad la que traía Pero la verdad es que resultó mejor que otras que he comprado Es una segueta gruesa por lo que te ayuda hacer cortes rectos sin perder la línea Ya va para dos años que la tengo y he costado triplay, madera de una pulgada de grosor y lámina de aluminio y todo lo ha cordado muy bien En el caso de la lámina me sorprendió lo muy bien que lo hizo Muy buena caladora

Easy to use, great item, good price

Un aparato realmente muy completo. La he utilizado varias veces con la sierra que trae de stock y realmente funciona de maravilla. Buena potencia, no vibra tanto, buena zapata, admite sierra con zanco en T y en U. El eliminador de polvo funciona muy bien y puedes ver por donde va el corte. No es tan pesada y el corte fluye muy bien. La consegui a un excelente precio en Amazon y vale mucho más de lo que cuesta. Creo que no se le hace justicia a esta marca. He probado otras de más renombre y no son lo máximo para el precio que manejan. El servicio de Amazon excelente, tanto en la entrega, como para resolver mis dudas.
