Track,

I just downloaded the manual and found this in section 9.4:



I see your problem choosing.

I realize this.

But I am asking you lot to use your experience and intuition and hypothesize whether the GST 75 is really that much better.

That's all I can ask.

I think the real question should be.

"What would you like us to say"

i would expect the pro tool to cut faster more accurate more capacity in depth off cut
i would expect it may be around 10 to 20% more accurate but that is just an educated guess

if you are going to use it for a few hours a year get the cheap one if you have several heavy duty projects over the next months and year then look at the pro one' somewhere in between is the point where one makes more sense to buy than the other but that choice is yours and no one else can tell you the exact point

I'd recommend one of these to cut 1mm sheet metal it works much better than either of those!

If you guys are making fun of me for asking for power tool advice, you should reconsider what this forum's purpose is.

Thanks anyway.

Don't think they are, the question has been answered perfectly.

Buy the best if it's gonna get plenty of work, whereas if it's a one off job buy the cheap throwaway one.

i am giving the best advice that is as accurate as i can be

may i respectfully suggest the problem is miss communication somewhere along the line as we feel we have answered your question several time on several levels and you think we have failed on several level

there are several forums out there giving good sound advice i suggest try one or more off them as this will prove
{1} we where all wrong as you got the answer quickly and easily without problem

{2} we where right all along and the misunderstanding is perhaps on your side

Surely a jigsaw is only as accurate as the person operating it....to be honest, neither are the best tool for cutting sheet metal......

I expect the cheap one fitted with a quality blade would be as good as the dear one fitted with a cheapo blade.

Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one?

in general most jigsaws wander a bit some more than others with the load magnifying any deviation
in general line the blade up ignore what the body is doing and let the blade follow the line
