| This Dewalt jig saw is a saw I bought in 1999 just before we built the Mattole Half Pipe in Petrolia, Ca. The part that holds the blade broke two weeks after I got the saw while we were building the ramp. I had to use my mother-in-laws saw that she owned in college (in the late 1960's) in it's place. That saw built the half pipe, it cut the transitions and all the notches for the ribs. I had the new saw repaired and have been using it for over 12 years. |

| Twelve years later the shoe got bent, so I put it in a vise to bend it back and the cast part snapped |

| Can you believe that there is not a replacement shoe available for this saw! I searched the internet and I also took it to our local tool repair shop. I ended up having to buy a new saber saw. This time I bought a Bosche, I should have done that in the first place. What a shame that this tool is no longer usable, even though the tool itself works fine. If anyone knows of a replacement shoe for this saw please let me know. |
