The principle of operation of any jigsaw is based on the reciprocating motion of the working element – a saw blade driven by the electric motor of the device. Depending on the material to be cut and its thickness, the saw blades come in different shapes and sizes. They can have different tooth pitch, and they can be steel or bimetal.
In order to perform various sawing tasks, a specialist must have a sufficiently large variety of such interchangeable tips in their arsenal. And this is due to the need to neatly store them near the workplace.
With the Bosch Professional GST 65B jigsaw this is not a big problem, because it has a special compartment for storing replacement saw blades. But such mobility is not the only noteworthy feature of this device.
