I just bought a new Bosch Jig saw and after one day's work am in love. But being interested and wanting to get the most out of every tool, I've been reading every review I can find and came across one for the Festool Jig Saw.
Looks pretty neat, but I did read a reference that when cutting 4"x4" OMGosh, really? that the reviewer indicated that the Festool blade might be part of why it was so good doing this one task. Everything I'm reading about Festool seems to be that they make pretty fantastic tools but I'm not about to put aside my new Bosch, it's my second one and one place I'm very loyal.
He also mentioned that you could use Bosch blades in the Festool so is it possible that Festool blades can be used in the Bosch and would it be a good fit, or a compromise. The Festool blades might be thicker or somehow different in the upper part that wouldn't allow them to be used in the Bosch but if they can be switched back and forth I'd like to learn everything I can do with my Bosch if it in any way broadens or imporves it's use.
I've never seen anything made by Festool and don't know yet if anyone in Seattle has their stuff (internet searches seem to come up with stores in my area that may have distributor deals but don't seem to stock the stuff, Bosch just sent me a catalog and with it a letter listing the closest stores, one being Hertz which only rents them and the other two only carry a couple of items...better to order online if I know what I want but to try a blade it's a stretch just to find out if it works).
Anybody tried swapping the blades in these tools?
