An Embarrassment to Bosch:

I did get this thing to work, but barely.
1) The centering pin is too short, so that only the tip reaches the workpiece. This means that if you drill the recommended size pilot hole, you get a very sloppy fit. Even with a smaller hole, you have to hold down the point quite firmly, bending the metal arm. I'll be using a 3/32 or smaller hole, rather than the recommended 13/64.
2) The scale doesn't make sense. Cutting a 140mm hole, the 170mm mark was centered on the blade. The 140mm mark wasn't... more info

Do not purchase "Made in China" products:

Was going to get it since it is Bosch's product. Glad that I read the reviews. I rather spend more to get things "Made in USA" or Germany than bring home useless junk "Made in China".

See Bosch Jigsaw Manual for Instruction:

For some reason, package of the cutting guide does not show how to use it. It is shown in the Bosch jigsaw manual. The guide works very well both for parallel cutting and circular cutting. As other reviewers pointed out, the scale could be better. The engraving is hard to see and is only in metric.(Amazon does not allow me to change the star rating but I would like to subtract one star for the poor quality of the scale).

Bosch jigsaw guide..great accessory!:

After using this the first time I knew this is what I needed to aid in perfect edge guiding & cutting perfect circles. Easy to attach but the clamp & setscrew to set the distance is of plastic and it easily falls off the guide when guide is removed from saw. I would rather have a set screw that sets right on the saw itself. I would reccommend this attachment as an asset to the great jigsaw that my Bosch 1590EVS is.
