Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-02 Summary: I wish I had it before!!! ... This Milwaukee Jigsaw that cuts woods and metals like butter is the best. I wish I had it before. I used to have a Black & Decker jigsaw that made my day miserable when cutting lamiate woods. I've tested this Milwaukee jigsaw, cutting a 4X4 wood, plywood and all that... I found it not a problem at all. I really enjoy this jigsaw that apparently makes my work more convenient and easier than ever!!! You will have the same feeling as I have, when you have it!!!

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-27 Summary: A Cut Above ... Which jig saw to get - it proved to be a difficult decision. Should I go with the popular Bosch 1590 EVSK which has many glowing reviews or with the Milwaukee 6268-21 which does not have a big following but is still very highly rated? After reading many reviews for the Bosch (some negative) I decided to give the Milwaukee a try based on the few glowing reviews and for the following: 1) price was within 5 dollars 2) has a 5 year warranty not 1 year 3) has an LED light 4) the base lines up with the blade 5) has a metal ...more

Customer Reviews [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-12-04 Summary: Pretty good tool for the price. ... All in all this a very good saw. The orbital cutting action with the variable speed is a big improvement over my old straight cutting jig saw. I got this tool about six months ago and it has performed wonderfully for me. I'm always suspicious of combination tools as most of them have serious problems and many of them do nothing well, having succumbed to the "jack of all trades, master of none" fate. This one seems to have avoided that fate by being designed primarally as a jig saw and a scroll saw secondly. After a ...more
