In the first cut you made you had the orbital setting on the Porter Cable set to 2. However the instructions say to put it on zero when cutting curves. That’s probably why the cut came out rough…
nice, thanks for showing.
I have the same Bosch jigsaw, js470e. All I can say is that its a monster. I dont think there is anything out there thats better.
Almost everything you cut seemed to move during. That will bog down anything. You said everything was clamped down tightly, but I think you should try better clamps or get ’em a little tighter
Should have used a separate blade for each saw.
I would be interested in seeing how easy angle adjustments are made and do they hold?
I think you should have installed a “new” blade in the Bosch before trying to cut the metal.
I have the same porter cable it’s pretty good saw for the money
Porter Cable looks like a heap of shit, try a Makita they’re a lot better to use..
Well, you’re obviously going to get more power with a corded saw. It just comes down to whether you want a little better performance or a little better convenience.
120 volts ac compared to 20 volt dc – – – – dugh?
festool sucks
The blade was the wrong way round.
