Well i treated myself to a new Jigsaw :
https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb285jsw-750w-jigsaw-230v/63333?_requestid=543302
a Titan TTB285JSW 750W Jigsaw from Screwfix
I know its only £40 but it has really good reviews and its really just to put in my new kitchen worktops so i thought it would be fine
So today, all excited i popped in some new Bosch blades too which Toolstation said was for laminate :

...and i expected for my nice new shiny jigsaw to tear through the worktop like a knife through butter with precision accuracy....how wrong i was !!!
Every cut was painfully slow and i seemed to have to really push hard which i know is a no no so i'm guessing something wasn't right. I also meant that my cut line was wonky which was disappointing considering the Titan has a laser guide too !
On inspection, these new Bosch blades teeth are pointing downwards, whereas the 3 blades that come with the Titan, are upwards !
Lesson learned i guess to check and compare
So before i attempt my sink cut-out, can anyone recommend a suitable blade that can cut a 38mm laminate worktop (Egger) ?
Also, i see, straight cut, curved cut, clean cut blades....etc etc....i'm guessing just a straight cut, yes ?
TIA
