Festool PSB 300 EQ jigsaw — specs & overview

The Festool PSB 300 EQ- is a corded jigsaw designed for precise cutting tasks across different materials. It operates on a 720W motor that provides the necessary power for stationary or handheld applications. Users can adjust the stroke rate between 1000 and 2900 strokes per minute to suit the specific density of the workpiece. This range allows for slower, controlled movements in delicate tasks or faster speeds during heavy material removal.

The tool features a pendulum action setting to assist with faster cutting through thicker stock. You can cut through wood up to 120mm thick or steel up to 10mm deep. At 2.4kg, the unit remains manageable for extended use without causing excessive fatigue. This weight provides enough stability to keep the blade on track during straight cuts.

Strengths

• The 720W motor handles substantial wood thicknesses of up to 120mm.
• Variable stroke rates from 1000 to 2900 strokes per minute offer control over different material types.
• Integrated pendulum action helps increase cutting speeds in softer materials.
• A weight of 2.4kg balances portability with the stability required for accurate work.

Things to consider

• The tool requires a continuous mains power connection due to its corded design.
• Metal cutting is limited to a maximum thickness of 10mm.

Who it's for

This jigsaw serves woodworkers and metal fabricators who need a reliable, mid-weight tool for deep cuts in timber or moderate tasks in steel.
