Powerful 6.4 Amp Motor for Cutting Tough Material
You can count on the powerful 6.4 Amp motor to get the job done fast. And with four orbital-action settings and speed range of 500 to 2,800 strokes per minute (SPM), the saw can be easily adjusted for optimal performance when cutting a wide range of wood, plastic, mild steel, and stainless steel materials.

Moreover, the 1590EVSK is one of the few professional jigsaws that feature a variable-speed trigger so that you can easily adjust the speed from 500 SPM to the maximum speed that you set using the speed dial. Beyond that, the unit's Constant Response circuitry helps maintain constant speed through the entire cut for consistent cutting even in tough spots in the material.

One-Touch Blade Changes
The 1590EVSK's One-Touch blade change technology allows you to change blades quickly, with one hand. To install a T-Shank blade, simply push the blade into the clamp. To eject the blade, simply pull a lever. You'll spend less time changing blades and more time working, and you'll never again have to touch a hot blade to remove it.

Easy Bevels
Bevel cuts are typically infrequent, but you need to make them, the 1590EVSK makes it easy --- without having to search for a wrench. Simply pull a lever to release the cast aluminum foot and tilt the base to the desired angle, then press the lever to set the angle. The saw also features an easy-to-read scale, so you can make accurate bevel cuts up to 45 degrees.The Bosch 1590EVSK Top Handle Jigsaw is extremely compact at just six pounds. It's backed by a one-year warranty, 30-day money back guarantee, and one-year service protection plan.

What's in the Box
Bosch 1590EVSK 6.4 Amp Top Handle Jigsaw, precision wood blade (T144DP), Progressor metal blade (T123X), tight kerf blade (T244D), zero-clearance insert, non-marring footplate, and carrying case.

With virtually no blade wander, the saw delivers smooth, accurate cutting action for wood, plastic, mild steel, and stainless steel materials.

This saw is rather heavy for a jigsaw but the weight helps to absorb any vibration. The price and weight are both high but if you want a smooth and powerful jigsaw take a look at this one.


Great Jig Saw   July 24, 2004

I am a carpenter and have tried many different jig saws before i purchased this one. (red, yellow, and gray to name a few) They either cut crooked, lacked power, or scratched the work surface with the bottom shoe.

In my opinion this is the best jig saw for the price. It easily compares to $300 models. I was a little skeptical of the precision control blade system guarnteeing absolute precision but was not disappointed. It's true to the line - every time. The dust blower actually works to keep debris from the cutting path and the removable overshoe protects the workpiece from scratches.It has plenty of power and maintains the speed you set it at. The extra long cord is nice too. Don't always need to get out an extension cord.

As far as the unit getting hot - I have run mine for 1 1/2 hrs almost constantly through hard maple and have never had a problem. This saw has it all!!!


even an amateur can use this saw with pleasure, confidence   August 26, 2004

My husband and I are not professionals -- just amateurs who greatly enjoy home improvement projects. I bought the Bosch 1590EVSK as a surprise, to replace our 30-year-old Honeywell. What a wonderful surprise it turned out to be! All the knowledgeable reviews posted here led me to expect a good tool, and I was especially pleased to buy a tool that's made in the U.S.A. The tool has far surpassed our expectations. Some reviewers have noted the tool's weight, and I have found that to be a special advantage -- it feels solid and substantial in the hands, increasing my confidence as I'm cutting, and its solidity and power seem to eliminate the kinds of problems I've had before, as with vibration or wavering spoiling my cuts -- as big as the Bosch is, it handles the most delicate, intricate work with ease and grace. As I've said, we're novices, not pros -- but this fine tool helps us do work that makes it LOOK like we had the pros in! I bought the accessory pack of 30 Bosch replacement blades at the same time -- the blades are of splendid quality. All in all, a wonderful investment, even for amateurs!

I have had a model 1587 and decided to try a new 1590, both do a better job than most jig saws. I went for the new 1590 because of the ease of blade changes and extra blade support. My 1587 cuts and works fine, but the 1590 has just improved blade changes,power and more stable cutting. I would recommend either one,but I would prefer the 1590 over the 1587.
As for the heating up mention by another review,I have had no such problem.


Amazing saw! No regrets   September 26, 2005

This is the best jigsaw out there. No question in my mind! Absolutely smooth cuts, in birch plywood, white oak, or anything else. No vibration. Easy blade changes and foot angle/bevel changes. Nice, long, soft cord, that doesn't twist your tool around. Be sure to get some Progressor Wood blades from Bosch too - they're amazing, especially when paired with this saw.
Shop around, though, if you want to save some bucks and get this shipped quicker - Coastaltool dot com, for instance...
