From the Manufacturer
Black ; Decker’s Smart Select JS660 jigsaw takes the guesswork out of making the right jigsaw cut. With the new Smart Select cut feature you set the jigsaw for optimal cutting. A range of visual application icons illustrates where to set the jigsaw for curved, straight, or beveled cuts in wood, plastic, or metal. Each icon indicates a speed setting on the variable speed dial which when set, provides the best cutting performance and finish for the application. The separate variable speed dial also offers individual speed control for custom applications. An easy to set accu-bevel with vision window allows you to set the jigsaw at 0, 15, 30, 45 degrees, or left or right quickly and precisely for the most accurate beveled cuts. The jigsaw’s quick clamp tool free blade change offers easy blade changes for both U-shank and T-shank blades. Blades are quickly and easily inserted or removed from the saw with a spring-activated lever--no screwdriver or Allen wrenches required. This powerful 5 amp jigsaw provides 0-3200 strokes per minute. It also features a dust blower and extraction tube, a tool-free beveling shoe, and on-board blade storage. With Smart Select, you set it and forget it. Both experienced and beginning do-it-yourselfers will appreciate knowing and learning the best performance setting for their projects. With easy-to-read application icons, it helps eliminate the trial and error of cutting and ruining your material.

Customer Reviews
I've use this for a week doing tons of home improvement projects. It won't be used that often once everything's done, so I wanted a decent quality saw at the lowest price possible. I believe ratings should not compare cadillacs to neon's even though they're both cars. This mid-low priced jigsaw has cut holes in 1/2" pine wood like butter...get the right blades for every tool/project! At this time the saw only came with a metal cutting blade so spent a couple bucks on a good wood blade. It's also cut 3" PVC pipe (while rotating it). I'm a home DIY'er so maybe all jigsaw's only cut to a 3/4" depth, but I do wish they'd cut deeper, seems a waste of blade length. I cut the legs off some too-high bar stools by holding the stool with a knee and chest. Likely improper, but it buzzed through the legs on the straight line. Since I'm not a pro, I do not try to rush cuts and maybe that's the difference in cutting a straight line with this jig.
Of course on softer drop ceiling tiles it was a dream. They've always fit too tight and chipped away at a bunch of things with a razor knife before buying this jig, what a difference that made! I've done more jobs and you don't have to select a speed for the job obviously. If you want higher speed and the picture suggests lower, just turn up the dial anyway. It's also very comfortable in my hand. There shouldn't be many home improvement projects for the average person that this jig can't handle imo. The strokes per minute range is 800-3,000 which has been plenty of power that's spared my arm manually sawing, and within it's class of jigsaws, I give it 5 stars.
In my point of view, this machine is just perfect to cut anything, from hard wood to plastic. I've been using it a lot and till now, it has just corresponded to my needs.
At the beginning I was a little bit uncomfortable to see the slightly crooked blade and thought it was going to hamper my job. How mistaken I was! On the contrary, it makes any job easier. As the blade is tilted slightly forward, there's no wood that resists to its cut.
Perhaps some people will find it weird, since we are used to straight angles, but after using it for a while, I realised that this machine is just perfect to work with all kinds of woods, plastic and metal. The tilted blade makes no difference in my job or any kind of cut; it's just a matter of practice.
I'm very comfortable and happy with this jigsaw, so I'm giving it 5 stars.
