Good luck, -WJA I have taken the top off and everything looks fine and rotates but won't lossen the blade. Any ideas? Does it go over the shaft? It just stays loose. The blade does not tighten.

So the 1587 will now get retired to the home shop and parts will be ordered and installed to make it work well around the house. The 470 now has a new home on my plumbing truck and I hope it provides the service I'm used to from the 1587. I so wish a tool line was equally as good throughout, but the truth is, it's pretty hit and miss. I can tell you all for sure that the Bosch Jig Saws, Roto Hammer Drills and Demo Hammers are some of the best I've used in my 30 plus years in the plumbing trade, enjoy! Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014 The entire baseplate was trashed. The saw had obviously been subjected to heavy use and dropped many times. No reasonable person would have considered the saw to be in good condition. I purchased it because my identical saw failed me (bad on-off switch) and I needed a replacement ASAP. I kept the replacement saw only because I was able to use the switch in my original saw and have the replacement saw for parts. I don't like giving negative feedback, but you asked. This item was no bargain. Please try again later. J D Monfort 1.0 out of 5 stars The saw had obviously been subjected to heavy use and dropped many times.

Joe Schafer 5.0 out of 5 stars The Bosch 1587AVS saw still runs great and has been an amazingly strong working saw, but the blade change out system, well it sucks and has finally given out - it's a sad day in Whoosvile. So the 1587 will now get retired to the home shop and parts will be ordered and installed to make it work well around the house.

This Bosch does it for me. It's got enough power to cut through thick wood. You can adjust the bottom plate so that the blade is perpendicular - you use a protractor (some jigsaws have a detente that you cannot adjust, and it's not perfectly perpendicular). IMO, if you cannot change the blade, you may not be very mechanically inclined (wait a minute, isn't woodworking supposed to require some mechanical inclination?). To load a blade, lift up the black cap on the front of the handle, turn it counterclockwise 3 turns, insert the blade at a 90 degree angle, once it's in, turn it so the teeth face front, and then retighten the black cap until it clicks, then push it back down into the handle. Reverse the procedure to remove.Please try again later. Please try again later. glenk 2.0 out of 5 stars However, after one use with this tool, instructions in hand (having been forewarned), I went to change the blade. Though I followed instructions to the letter, I couldn't get the blade out. Again and again I tried, not knowing what I was doing wrong. The top plastic piece then broke right off leaving me in the middle of a job with no tool to finish. This tool looks brand new; I had purchased it, used it once, then didn't need it again until after the store would take it back. They really messed up on this one. It doesn't matter how good it runs if you can't get a blade in and out.Please try again later. Please try again later. Ready Rover 2.
0 out of 5 stars I followed the skimpy directions, but the blade would not pivot toward the front. The sparse manual had no troubleshooting tips, and Bosch has no customer support on weekends, when many home enthusiasts are going to need help. (Why is it companies like Bosch do customer support at their convenience, not their customers'?) After several attempts I finally ignored the directions to turn the top adjuster three times, and instead tried it at four, then five turns. Success. The blade-lock mechanism simply wasn't calibrated properly from the factory. I would have to assume from the many postings on the blade-lock issue that Bosch is not doing thorough quality control, pulling its tools off their factory line and following their own directions to see if the calibrations are done accurately. It's how you turn a five-star piece of equipment into a two-star customer experience.Please try again later. Please try again later. Dennis Ward 1.0 out of 5 stars Please try again later. Please try again later. Kenneth E. Sternberg 5.0 out of 5 stars I bought the Coping foot to go with a Chraftsman saw that I have, but upon arrival it was obvious the two would never mate up. I went and quickly bought the Bosch and am glad I did. I also use it as a Tiger saw about half the time, just cause it is at hand. Tiger saw would be cheaper, but it don't cope.Please try again later. Please try again later.In a noisy shop, you can't hear the little detent set; if you are in a hurry, you sometimes don't feel it either. Then the plastic knob breaks off in your hand. Full disclosure: if you are the kind of person who doesn't carefully read all the instructions first, it is easy to break it while trying, with increasing force, to lock the blade. Why all this spinning and clicking anyway. Compare to the Milwaukee Sawzall: quarter turn locked, quarter turn unlocked, never fails under a lot more stress than a jigsaw might encounter.
The bevel adjustment is equally awkward, though not likely to break. Someone else may know if there is a better Jig saw out there. If not, you may want keep a half-dozen plastic blade-retainer rotary knobs on hand as I do.Please try again later. Please try again later. John Reid 1.0 out of 5 stars It's made of plastic and stripped out on my saw after only a half dozen blade changes. The saw is then rendered useless. Rather annoying after you spent money on an expensive tool thinking a higher price would buy you a better tool. I hope they either fired the engineer who designed this tool or send them for retraining along side the GM engineers who designed the defective ignition switches. I thought perhaps I had used the tool improperly until I asked around and found out that the Bosch factory rep admitted to a local distributer that the mechanism was improperly designed. I won't be buying any more Bosch tools. I have no relationship with any other tool manufacturer.Please try again later. Please try again later. Robert A. Cisek 1.0 out of 5 stars The first (different number but equivalent tool just stopped working shortly after warranty period after light use. This model is my second Bosch, after two years of light use, the blade lock mechanism doesn't work. This is my fault.should have learned my lesson. I recommend people avoid Bosch tools.poor quality in the sense that the parts you can't see are made of inferior materials causing the tools to fail prematurely. Bosch tools look good and feel as is they are well made. At the price, its not a matter of working well out of the box, its a matter of whether the tools continues to performed after you have used it 25 or 30 times. But when it comes to jigsaws, Bosch is not a reliable brand. Since I need to use a jigsaw now (can't wait to order parts and repair it) I'm on my way to buy a replacement.any brand other than bosch.Please try again later. Please try again later.
