Hello,
I've been considering buying the Bosch 1590 jigsaw for some time, and now I see that there's a new model from Bosch, the js470e. It's a very similar looking unit to the 1590.
What concerns me is that I've heard that the 1590 has a special design that keeps the blade from wandering (some sort of side bracing, etc.). I know that I'm probably not describing this correctly, but it's something along the line that keeps the blade straight and true. I'm just trying to find out from anyone who's used the new js470e whether it has the same design. I really want whichever one has the best design for keeping the blade true and straight, and I don't want to buy the new one unless it boasts the same ability.
So have any of you used the new one, and if so, do you know whether the new one has the same design as far as blade tracking?
Thanks,
Louis
