Milwaukee 6268-21 6.5 Amp Top Handle Jig Saw Reviews
I chose the Milwaukee jig saw over the Bosch because I have heard that the bosch has problems with square cuts. It runs extremely smooth and it cuts through hard wood like butter, just let the saw do the work. If square cuts are a priority for you this is the jig saw for you.
Smooth cutting, well balanced. Better than my Dewalt which is probably in some landfill now. Nice that it came with it's own case to protect the saw. Cut off the tip of my left index finger and didn't even feel a thing.
The light on the work area is excellent. I am very pleased to add this one to my collection. Also, I don't know if it is the orbital action or what, but it cuts through PT lumber like butter. Saw fits in it just right, even with the blade in. The blade release works well. Thought I would have to get a screwdriver to pick it out, but I just opened the lever and it fell right out. Never would have thought you need one, but after using it I would hate to go back to not having it.
Case has a nice space where the blades sit and once closed they don't roam around like blades do in some of my other cases. Love the case. Cuts very smooth for a jigsaw. I typically buy Milwaukee power tools when I can. It runs great, like any Milwaukee, but it seems that even more thought was put into this product than usual. Very happy with this saw. I even had a blade break and thought the piece inside would would be too small to come out by just opening the lever.
Coord is nice and long, a nice extra.
My previous jig saw was a Freud J85, and the difference is like night and day. This tool just makes me smile. The tool-less blade change is positive and effortless (actually, the Freud was OK there, too, one of it's few virtues). Third, it is balanced well (whereas the top-heavy Freud was just too big for it's base and would tip over backwards with half a chance, especially with the dust collection attached). It cuts square and doesn't drift when cutting along a straightedge (like the Freud used to).
First of all, the fit and finish: This saw is made with precision. I love this saw. I can't afford a SawStop table saw or a Laguna bandsaw, but if this isn't the best jig saw out there, it's got to be darned close to it. :>) I bought the Freud at a "bargain" price, but it made me angry every time I got it out to use.
Second, the LED light and the dust blower make it easy to follow the cut line (the Freud piled the dust right on the cut line, even if the cumbersome dust collection attachment was used).
The heft of this saw takes a little getting used to, but just as with a handgun, weight buffers recoil. My tools are used for personal home improvement use, but I appreciate quality. As expected, typical Milwaukee quality. They cost more, but I continue to choose to pay the difference. This is the sixth Milwaukee tool I have purchased. The weight makes this baby smoooooth.
