Product Description

From the Manufacturer
Festool brings a new level of precision to jigsaws and jigsaw blades. The two of these together can create effortless cuts with the high-performance, 720 watt (6 amp) motor, controlled by MMC electronics for consistent cuts through most materials. Smooth curves, splinter-free cuts, and less sanding are all possible with a Festool jigsaw. Most jigsaws have a hard time staying on course. Hard material and curves can easily cause the blade to deflect, resulting in time consuming re-cutting or sanding. Festool jigsaws are designed with adjustable carbide-tipped jaws that work with the blade clamping system and back-up bearing for triple blade guidance that keeps the blade perpendicular to the shoe at all times, even on curves. The barrel grip PS 300 is designed to fit your hand with a low center of gravity. Achieve splinter-free cuts thanks to the zero-clearance splinterguard inserts. Each insert is cut with the blade mounted in the saw which ensures a precise zero-clearance for ultra clean cuts with no splinters or tear out. Equipped with the unique Festool Plug-It cord system, the power cord can be quickly detached from the machine for blade changes, easier storage, or field repair. Also several other Festool products use the Plug-It cord system so it is possible to share cords with other tools when needed. Variable cut stroke allows the saw blade to travel in a near vertical orientation to 3 additional cut strokes that move the blade in a more orbital action for faster, more aggressive cutting motion for fast cuts. And the plastic base plate is designed to minimize scratching to the work piece which allows for cutting on finished material without concern for damage or unintentional marking. Made in Germany.
With a full 720 watts, this is one of the most powerful jigsaws around. It will cut 4 3/4" wooden beams, 3/4" aluminum or 3/8" steel with ease! Electronic Multi-Material Speed Control gives you the correct constant speed for the material youre sawing - prevents overheating and keeps the saw running smoothly. Patented triple blade guidance with parallel adjustable carbide guides that counteract the lateral pressure on the blade so that the Trion makes straight perpendicular cuts every time. Can set a bevel to 45 degrees on either side, and can even start cuts in wood without a pilot hole. 6 Amp motor, 1" stroke, 1,000-9,000 spm, 4 stage stroke adjustment. Jigsaw includes a blade, splinter guard, chip deflector and T-LOC Systainer 1 storage container.

Customer Reviews

Just got my Festool PS 300 EQ Jigsaw and put it to work. What a well balanced and easy to grip tool.
I have owned quite a few jigsaws but was never happy to use them, avoided them as much as I could.
Being a artist/sculptor working in different mediums I am sure this saw will not let me down. Wish it had a light to see my lines better, like other jigsaws.
Couldn't wait for Festool to come up with a new one so I took the plunge. With a lower price its great.
Thank you Amazon for great service and Thank you FESTOOL

I love this jigsaw. With the 250 price tag I couldn't pass it up. I love using this, great dust collection. Perfectly engineered. This was my first festool product and I know it wont be my last.
