Tools and Hardware Reviews of Porter-Cable PC600JS 6 Amp Orbital Jig Saw

Customer Review: 4.51 Stars So Far
Summary: 5 Stars

I'm a week in and I've tackled two projects. So far, so good. I always do a bunch of research before buying anything and have landed on Porter-Cable tools twice in the last two months. This one and a circular saw. I feel like it's a better build quality than the Skils and the B&D's and you're not paying for all that brand that the Dewalt, Milwaukee, and Bosch stuff automatically comes with. Plus, I'm not a pro, so I don't need something top-of-the-line.

It's hard to rate because it's the first jigsaw I've ever owned or even used. But, it did exactly what I wanted it to do, right out of the box. What else can I ask for?

I probably would have given it four stars, but I felt like I needed to balance out the one 3 star review it has. To respond to that review, I haven't noticed a leaning blade. Maybe it's just my particular tool. It cuts as straight as my hand and eyes can make it cut.

The first time I turned it on, it was on the lowest settings possible and the blade was moving up and down at about 55 RPM's: 1....2....3....4...5. At this point I questioned my purchase, but then I cranked it up to the max and sliced through the plywood and aspen boards I was cutting with ease.

I'd buy it again.
