Thanks, guys. Yes, this should change anyone's perception on a jigsaw and what it can do. The only thing that would be nice to see on this saw is a light - I usually do not use it, but it would make lining up the saw to the cut line a little easier, especially when it is dark outside. This is one of my favorite tools for sure. It continues to impress and out of the four jigsaws I have, when I have to get the cut right, this is the one I turn to.

I think I already said previously (not sure if I said it on the forum or just in my head a lot) that the P1cc is the tool that I am the most impressed with of all the Mafells. Sadly a big part of the reason is that other jigsaws set the bar so low that the simple fact that this one cuts great seems more impressive than it should. I think the KSS concept/ idea is super impressive but somehow it amazes me more that a jigsaw with no blade guides and standard everyday blades cuts so perfectly square and clean. This saw gives me a lot of added confidence in many tasks. Before when I needed perfect work I would use a sucky jig saw and then spend some time on the spindle sander. The fact that the blade stays quite cool, doesn't burn, and lasts way longer is just an added bonus.
Those walnut pictures with the cut results are awesome.

Thanks, 7 - yep, I agree. This is a saw that really has an added wow factor to it. I can get good cuts with my other jigsaws too, but not consistently. I have confidence in this tool for sure and turn to it when I have to get it right. So far it has not let me down. It is worth every penny and I would buy another if something happened to this one.

Don't want to sound like a cheerleader but the whole line-up is pretty awesome if you ask me.

Mr. TJ
Thanks for the show and tell. I really like my p1cc but would never have thought to use it with a rail.
Hmm I may need to get a Mafell rail, and if I'm getting a rail doesn't it make sense to get a saw that works well with the rails? Didn't someone say the kss400 works on the F rails...

The KSS80 also works great with the rails! LOL...rail guide jigsawing take it to a whole different level.

John Most mafell saws work on the rail but I have to say i find the MT55 is my far my favorite to use on the f rails. It might just take a little more getting used to...seems Tom loves using his KSS 400 on the f-rails. I strongly prefer the MT55.

Here's a thought....60 degree bevel base for the p1cc

I really think that if I could only have one hand powered saw, the P1CC would be my choice. Granted it is not as fast as a circular saw, but it cuts just as well for me in all kinds of material, can get straight, true, perpendicular cuts and have the benefit of curves thrown in. Luckily I do not have to choose just one, but this saw would be it if I did.

Paid for my order last night, for the saw and tilting base...the wait begins. Gives me a bit of time to check out the ins and outs of the Bosch blades.

I got a full compliment of the Mafell blades. I have been waiting for a job that require a better blade than the Bosch... (still waiting).
There are a few blades that I would suggest that you have on hand (depending on what you do): 1) That massive long Bosch blade for thick parts. That is the one on the legendary video with the Carvex spouting out a rooster tail of sparks. 2) The Hitachi 6tpi CementBoard blade 3) If you do any metal, then some fine toothed metal blades - I used them for cutting a Bosch rail, and then for Ikea curtain rods.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would one consider using a jigsaw mounted up in a guiderail?
For cutting steel plate? I've always thought jigsaws were all about cutting curves & corners....

I've always thought jigsaws were all about cutting curves & corners.... 1) If the material is thicker than a circular saw does. 2) If the cut does not go end to end (like a sink cut out). 3) If the material is not right for a circular saw (Foam rubber or maybe fibreboard or fibreglass). 4) The dog reason (because they can).
