I am on my second saw in 6 months with little use

Good points:

Lots of power
Accepted universial and T shank blades

Bad points:
Sole plate sticks and is hard to accurately adjust.
Both saws pulled to the left when cutting.
Could not cut a straight line using a guide fence, blade would pop out of guide roller or pull the wood lose from a clamped down guide fence resulting in a bowed cut. The cut was also off perpenducilar. Got two different stories from Dewalt on this. One person said it should saw with a guide fence(straightedge) another person said it wouldn't and I needed to buy a different tool.

I purchased this item and the only problem that I have found is the keyless blade system. The operator manual doesn't mention that you must have the blade attachment at the right position before the keyless blade will function. To set the blade attachments to the right position you will have to operate the jig saw and try to stop the reciprocating blade shaft attachment to the exact position. This will require few trys and lots of patience.

The black shoe falls off regularly (which knocks the transparent covers off, as well). Received a replacement, but don't know if it's going to work. Grat for sawing curves with bevels...just can't saw straight at 90 degrees. Blades bend from lateral movement while sawing. Not a good 'un. Go with Bosch or Porter Cable. Got sharp teeth? Buy a coping saw. Or a knife. Wish I had....

The Jig saw that I received seem to be used for at least 6 month or so. There are lots of scratches on the body and the buttom of the saw. Unfortunately I could not return it on time so I am stuck with it.
