Review on BOSCH JA1010 Jig Saw Guide: Precision Circular and Parallel Cutting Tool in Black by Brandon Carraway

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Questionable durability.

The product I received is different from the image on the site and from what is described in the instructions that came with the manual. I'm not sure how well it will hold up and my saw's setup is very tight making it very difficult to adjust. The part number for the guide matches what is listed as an optional accessory in the manual that came with my saw. If you look at the instructions in the manual, you have to guess a lot how to mount it on the saw. Although it can be installed. For circular cuts, you'll need to experiment with the position of the axis of rotation to get the correct arc. The instructions I received have 4 possible turning pin positions to choose from, which I'm sure has to do with the type of blade used and whether the cut is an inside or outside radius. There is no information available to help you with this. instruction sheet. You'll have to experiment with scrap wood and different blades to find what works best for your project. Overall I'm not impressed with this guide - it's overpriced to say the least, as is the case with most Bosch products.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I will not say anything
