Comes with the most power,offers the smoothest,surest cut and is the most versatile jigsaw available.
The speed can be changed due to the amount of pressure applied to the trigger.
The top handle is an obvious perk for the Bosch JS470E, but another feature is far less evident. That would be the “tool-less” blade ejector.While it can’t shoot the blade across the shop at your foes, it will ensure you will never have to touch a hot blade again. This model has a lock button that’s easy to use whether you are right or left-handed as well.
Probably the best option of the Bosch JS470E jigsaw is the tool less blade-change system which allows the user to quickly change a T-shank blade without a tool as well as avoiding touching a red hot blade with your fingers.
Thanks to its solid die-cast aluminum footplate and industrial design, this jigsaw can withstand even the toughest work conditions.
It has a nice rubber-overmold grip and ergonomic trigger with soft start, immediate response, and its blower was strong enough to keep a cutline cleared of sawdust.
The saws variable speed trigger was useful for starting a cut low and working up cutting speed. Once up to speed the JS470E consistently made clean, smooth cuts with no tool vibration.
This jigsaw stands out among the rest for its rugged durability (the footplate arm will withstand up to 546 lbs of load) and raw power to tackle most any job you can throw at it with a top SPM of 3,100. It will also bevel up to 45° and can cut through soft wood up to 5 7/8 inches thick.
An efficient model of a jig saw with a long power cord. Theres no need to press it long against the work piece.
Variable speed and easy-to-use accelerator trigger for instant adjustments.
The 7-amp motor delivers variable speeds from 500SPM to 3100SPM for a wide range of cutting applications.
We like how the SPM can rise from 0 to 3,100 in an instant, with the push of a button. It’s has a comfortable shape, size and ergonomic to limit hand fatigue.
What makes this jigsaw rank in the top three on many review sites is the industrial design that helps it withstand the roughest jobsite conditions without losing power or accuracy.
Ambidextrous lock-on button for continuous long cut.
This saw features a toothless blade change system with fast insertion and blade ejection. The feature eliminates the hassle in need to touch a hot blade.
It features an ambidextrous lock-on button for steady cuts and for the convenience of all its users. A tool-less blade ejection lever is built for ease of ejection without needing to touch the hot blades.

The Bosch JS470E Jigsaw also has a blade replacement system composed of a blade ejection level, fast insertion capabilities, and tool-less blade change so that you won’t need to touch any hot blades to swap them with a new one.
This saw boasts a powerful 7.0 Amp motor that can push through any tough job. Not only is the motor built to last, but the rest of the saw is also.
There are four orbital action settings that are easily adjusted.
What’s great about this device is that it eliminates the largest pet peeve amongst woodworkers: having to use two hands to remove a hot blade. With the Bosch JS570E, it’s ejection mechanism is more efficient, giving you more time to focusing on the next cutting line.
The Bosch JS470E comes with a soft grip handle. The overall weight of the entire unit is kept on the light side. I was able to get a solid grip on the handle due to soft rubberized coating.
The Bosch JS470E is a powerful, feature-rich workhorse that can rip through plywood at warp speed or cut up to 3/8” thick sheet metal. With its vibration reduction, its Constant ResponseTM circuitry that helps ensure consistent performance under load, its tool-free blade ejection lever, and its large and convenient lock-on button, there is nothing not to love about this saw.
The tool-free design of the jigsaw allows the users to push the clamp to open it and change the blades without needing a tool.
The blade clamp is multi-directional. Imagine what would happen if you touch a blade right after cutting some metal. You do not have to as the jig saw has a lever that allows for tool-less ejection.
