Bosch JS470E 120-Volt 7.0-Amp Top-Handle Jigsaw Review
You can trust my review, bad or good is your choice and i hope you can try to buy this product and then you know this product good or no. Next time you can make a review for another people.
I have been doing DIY projects for years and recently resorted to borrowing a jigsaw from family/friends because my old Makita died(sob). I have mainly used the Bosch 1590EVSK and the Makita 4350FCT. Both are excellent saws, yet I would probably have to give the edge to the Swiss, which deeply saddens me due to the loyalty I have to my name-sake. Looking to finally re-purchase a jigsaw, I hoped to find a new model of the 1590, but disappointed to find that they have discontinued the 1590EVSK and identified the JS470E as the new model to replace the old model's price point. (The 1590EVSK isn't technically discontinued as it will be re-released as the 1590/1591 EVSL models that feature a new stacking L-Boxx case but will increase the price point close to the $200.00 mark) I don't care about stacking my cases (Since nearly every tool I own is a Makita) and decided that I will give the JS470E a try.
First Thoughts vs. 1590: The tool is still made in Switzerland, which sometimes is not the case with Bosch products. The tool is missing the visible precision control (PC) function that clamps the blade right above the foot for added blade stability and is replaced with a supposed "internal precision control". The tool-less foot bevel has been replaced with an on-board bevel wrench. The rubber grips have expanded to cover the 7 amp motor which later proved useful and creates greater visual appeal. Still no light (seriously?). Also, the end of the blade appears to pitch forward.
While I was initially concerned that I was going to lose blade stability with the "internal precision control", I was delighted to find that I was able to accurately cut a series of tight turns outlined with a sharpie on a 2"x6" I had lying around. Maybe it was the Progressor blade that I was using, but if I can control the jigsaw without seeing any black marks left on the wood, I could care less about a visible PC; in fact, it just means one less thing to do before using the tool. I even used the grip on the barrel for added control, which was a really neat touch added to the saw. I then proceeded to make stop cuts to determine if the blade pitch effected the end cut. Setting the orbital action setting to 0, I measured the top and the bottom of 4 different cuts (Same 2"x 6" and there was no difference in the length. The tool-less bevel vs. using a hex key means nothing to me. I have never, will probably never use the bevel function on my jigsaw. If getting a 45 degree cut is that important to you, you should probably own other tools that can make that cut more accurately than with a jigsaw. The blower was a nice feature and actually works, but I was very disappointed that there is no light since nearly every other brand of jigsaw (even lesser quality brands) has an LED light. I doubt I will ever use a jigsaw in the dark, so I guess this is just a minor gripe. The one touch blade change is unchanged, which is a good thing. This is probably my favorite feature of the saw, I just get so much satisfaction in shifting the lever and having the saw eject the blade. The case is sturdy and has storage for more blades than you will ever need for a job.
The JS470E has the same size, feel, and weight that I loved about the 1590. It is quiet for a jigsaw and does a great job at minimizing the vibration. I purchased mine for $139.99 and I am extremely happy with it. It doesn't have the years of rave reviews like the 1590 model, but I am not willing to pay the extra $50.00 for a fancy box and differences that I cannot replicate with the tests I did with it and the few projects I completed. Both saws would get 5 stars from me, I'd be happy to own either one.
