Hi chaps
I've started to use quite a bit of sheet material for various jobs around the house, and basic cabinet/drawer making. I used to struggle by with a crappy B&D Jigsaw
I'm looking at the hitach C7BU from axminster
http://www.axminster.co.uk/product.asp?pf_id=22304
It's currently got £25 off and a spare blade. The reason i'm looking at this tool is because its a good brand, electronic brake and is reasonably quiet.
Do you think this saw is worth the purchase over a basic Makita? And will a perform 50" guide rail be good enough to give me straight edges?
Also, what is regarded as the best blade for sheet cutting?
Thank in advance for any advice here.
