Best Corded Jigsaws in 2027

Second with a Best Score of 68, the Bosch JS470E is a 7.0-Amp top-handle jigsaw. It shares the fastest speed here at 3100 SPM and adds a 1 in stroke length, tied for the longest on this page. A longer stroke uses more of the blade's teeth, so it cuts faster and the blade wears more evenly.

It has 4 orbital settings, from straight cutting for clean curves to aggressive orbit for fast cuts in softwood. The variable speed dial sets the top speed while the trigger controls it in use, and an ambidextrous lock-on button holds speed on long cuts.

The tool-less blade change has an ejection lever, so you never touch a hot blade. Soft-grip areas make the top handle comfortable. The shoe bevels to 45 degrees. At 5.6 lb it is a solid, full-size saw for regular use.

The Makita JV0600K-R leads our Best Score at 70. It reaches 3100 SPM, tied for the fastest stroke speed on this page, and a variable speed dial lets you set anything from 500 to 3,100 SPM. Slow speeds help with metal and plastic; high speeds rip through wood.

Its counterbalance system reduces vibration, which makes it easier to follow a pencil line and leaves a cleaner edge. It has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, one fewer than most saws here, but enough to switch between fast rough cuts and fine curves.

A through-the-body dust port connects to a vacuum, which keeps the cut line clear and the shop cleaner. Blade changes need no tools, and it comes with a tool case. Note that this listing is a renewed unit, so check the seller's return terms. It weighs 5.3 lb.

The Bosch JS470EB completes our top five with a Best Score of 63. It is the barrel-grip version of the JS470E, with the same 3100 SPM top speed, 1 in stroke and 4 orbital settings. The difference is how you hold it.

A barrel grip puts your hand lower and closer to the work, on an upfront grip area. Many woodworkers find that gives better control on tight curves and scroll cuts, while a top handle is easier for straight cuts and beginners. Try both shapes if you can.

It has the same tool-less blade change with ejection lever and a 45 degree bevel. At 5.9 lb it is the heaviest in our top five, which adds stability but more weight in the hand. Choose it if you already know you prefer barrel grips.

The SKIL JS314901 ranks third with a Best Score of 65. At 4.63 lb it is one of the lighter saws in our top five, which helps with long cuts and work held at awkward angles. It has a 6 Amp motor and a 0.91 in stroke.

It offers 4 orbital settings for smooth to aggressive cutting. A 2-finger trigger gives good speed control, and the shoe bevels without a tool for angled cuts. An on/off dust blowing switch clears sawdust from the line so you can see where you are cutting, and an LED light helps in dim spaces.

Top speed is not listed in our data, and the stroke is a little shorter than the Bosch saws, so cuts in thick hardwood may be slower. For DIY projects, shelving and general home use, it covers the key features for less weight.

Fourth with a Best Score of 64, the DEKOPRO DKPJGSD075C1 has a 6.7-amp motor that DEKOPRO rates at up to 3,000 SPM. It has 4 orbital settings, using higher orbit for fast cuts in softwood and sheet goods and lower settings for cleaner cuts.

The shoe bevels to ±45 degrees for angled cuts, and a tool-free blade clamp makes blade swaps quick. A built-in LED light makes it easier to follow the line in garages, basements or after dark. Lower orbit settings give cleaner edges in plywood and laminate, where splintering shows.

Weight and stroke length are not listed in our data, which is why it sits below the SKIL. Warranty is also not given. It offers most of the features of the more expensive saws, so it suits buyers who want a capable corded saw without a big-brand name. Before buying, check the weight and blade compatibility with the seller, since those details help you compare it fairly against the Bosch and SKIL saws.
