Bosch JS365

The Bosch JS365 Jigsaw is a versatile corded power tool designed for both professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts. Released as part of Bosch’s contractor-grade line, this model is known for its balance of power, precision, and durability. The JS365, sometimes identified by its full model number JS365-060158F010, offers a 6.5-amp motor capable of delivering up to 3,100 strokes per minute. This makes it well-suited for cutting through wood, metal, and plastics with ease. Its orbital action settings give users more control, allowing for fast, aggressive cuts in construction materials or smoother, cleaner cuts when working with finer projects.

The tool also features Bosch’s toolless blade-change system, which uses a lever-action clamp to quickly swap out T-shank blades. This feature reduces downtime and ensures compatibility with the wide range of Bosch jigsaw blades available on the market. Ergonomic design is another hallmark of the JS365, with a sturdy housing and comfortable grip that help reduce fatigue during extended use.

Because the JS365 is corded, it provides consistent power compared to cordless alternatives, making it a reliable choice for shop work. Its reputation for longevity and easy maintenance has made it a popular model among woodworkers, remodelers, and repair technicians.
