I saw this on Youtube a while back but forgot to post this:
Its pretty impressive that the P1cc can manage to keep the blade straight and square for that length of the cut when aligned with the rail. There's no adjusters for taking the slack out of the P1cc in the baseplate for running it up against the rail and yet it still could cut that straight.
I'm more than sure this video would cause some controversy on another forum given that a certain jigsaw isn't able to make straight cuts when on a rail. I've read some interesting pieces of advice like "not running a jigsaw on a rail attachment for anything thicker than 1/2" sheet goods" from those threads...

I think the Mafell blades also help. I have gotten a Bosch to wander on the rail.

If it isn't the CUnex blade then it'll be closer to the Bosch hardwood blades which have a different tooth angle and thicker body. Looking at my T308B ("Extra Clean") and T308BFP ("Extra Clean for Hardwood?"/"Precision") there's a noticeable difference. The T308BFP's thickness looks closer to the Spyder Skeleton blades I have.
Off the top of my head I believe the "P" nomenclature on the Bosch blades is for the thicker ones.
One day I will have to get a Bosch T1044DP to try out.

The "P" is for precision and the blades by Bosch are .07 inches thick. The "D" designation I believe is for "speed". Most of the precision blades are "DP". The thicker the blade the more accurate the cut. I like the 144DP blades the best for most cutting in 5/4 and 4/4 material. Here is a video I made when I first got my saw showing the accuracy of cuts using the guide rail.

I am sure I had the wrong blade, it was ~2-1/2" thick material.
