I don't like it [Posted on 2004-01-24]
Yes, it blows the dust right in your face, and mouth. It works great if you use it with your arm outstretched and don't need to look at what your cutting.
My buddy used it too, now he needs to buy new contact lenses for his eyes. Evidently he wasn't using it at his full arms length.
Buy the Bosche.
I'm a bit frustrated with this [Posted on 2004-07-05]
I used to use a Bosch in a cabinet shop that I loved using.
Since I have a lot of Porter-cable tools so when PC came out with this I thought it was going to be more like a gray version of the Bosch I loved with improvements. Since everyone is in competition with each other it must be so.
When I had to change my first blade I was in horror. I think I have it down now but boy is it still a royal pain. I dread blade changes but I'm getting better at it. Maybe my fingers are just getting increadibly strong.
It has a lot of power and looks great.
Dust blower, nice feature, blows dust directly in front of the line you're trying to cut on.
If I have to start using this more I might sell it on ebay and get a new Bosch.
buy a dust shield! [Posted on 2004-10-22]
The only complaint I paid any attention to is the dust issue. Went to Porter Cable's wesite to see if they resolved that issue. They have a dust-shield. It is part number '886775' and costs $7.05 (http://www.porter-cable.com/index.asp?e=4937). I'm Canadian, BUY NORTH AMERICAN!!
Well Designed Jig Saw [Posted on 2005-08-16]
I have used my saw for several close projects. I find it very confortable to handle. With the 4 settings for the amount of blade orbiting you can get a pretty nice cut and excellant control of where you're going. The switch has good travel to allow you to control the speed of the cut without any surprises. The most difficult item with the saw is changing or taking out the blade. While it is a keyless manuver, it can be trying and you need to be careful while working to free the blade (they are very sharp).
changing blades porter cable 9543 jigsaw [Posted on 2008-03-20]
The trick to blade changing for me is to ,1- Make sure the blade is fully extended and 2.- Take the blade out of the support track and pull the blade out while it is next to, but not in the track.(the shaft has some give to it and allows this)Push slightly sideways and remove. Very simple. The guiding track seems to confine the blade so that the slight sideway movement while removing the blade isnt possible,especially if blades arn't perfectly straight i suspect. Great saw especially with the 4 inch blade! [ASIN:B0000222YV Porter-Cable 9543 6 Amp Top Handle Jig Saw]]
