Conductor562 Posted May 26, 2012 Report Share Posted May 26, 2012 I've been eyeing this saw for awhile now. Anyone got any first hand experience with it? Likes or dislikes? I found it about $20 cheaper than normal so I'm thinking now might be the time to go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I have never used any of Milwaukee's corded jig saws. Their cordless ones are awesome. Both the M12 and M18. I like the Barrell grip design and looks like you would have really good control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutnamEco Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 I can't comment on the Milwaukee but I will tell you the Bosch 1591EVSK is one of the sweetest jigsaws I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I was eyeing the Makita model as well, but there's nothing that sets it apart from the Milwaukee to enough of a point to make me go Makita. It does have an LED light while the Milwaukee doesn't, but the Milwaukee has more orbital settings and While they both run about $175 I found the Milwaukee on sale for $150. I looked at the Ridgid version but I wasn't crazy about how it felt in my hand and at 3 amps it seems a little underpowered for a corded saw.

Eric - TIA Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 If you end up picking up one of those, let me know what you think. I want to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Will do. The old lady asked what I wanted for fathers day. I showed her the saw and emailed her a link to it at toolbarn.com so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Nice. That reminds me. I have to figure out what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
