PORTER CABLE 6-Amp Orbital Jig Saw, PCE345

The Porter Cable PCE345 6amp jig saw is a basic “no frills” jigsaw for someone who does not use one very much and doesn't need super fancy cuts. So there's no light, dust blower, and the angles will be limited. There ARE orbital setting though for making cutting through different materials easier. That being said it's a solid unit, and very good quality. It's more a mid-range level, not exactly the cheapest most basic, and has a lot of things going for it. It feels very well made and there is not a lot of vibration when compared to cheaper saws. I found it easy to control. If you are an occasional user of this saw I'd highly recommend buying the extra blades now and keeping them in the box or wherever you store such things. 6 Amps also means this thing is very powerful. It's going to be able to handle whatever job you are throwing at it, and it can do it very precisely and speedily too. The manual that comes with it is actually pretty good if you don't use saws like this much. All in all, this is a great buy and perfect for me. Love It!

My son is taking carpentry with his Career Tech school this year and wanted this jigsaw that I chose through the walmart spark reviewer program. He loves it. says he can operate this one just as he does the one in his carpentry class. He says it has plenty of power and gets the job done.
