Bosch Professional, GST 160 CE, 800 W, Corded Jigsaw

The Bosch Professional GST 160 CE Corded Jigsaw is a power tool designed for precise, controlled cutting across professional woodworking and metalworking applications. It achieves a maximum cutting depth of 160 mm in solid wood, accommodating thick timber and deep plunge cuts. The saw also handles chipboard, wood composite boards, 20 mm aluminium, and 10 mm unalloyed steel. Powered by an 800 W corded motor, the tool maintains a steady stroke rate under load for consistent results. An adjustable no-load stroke rate of 800 to 3,000 strokes per minute lets the user match the speed to the material. The corded configuration provides continuous operation without battery downtime.

Weighing 2,200 g, this jigsaw has a compact form factor with an overall length of 324 mm that aids control. The slim handle provides a secure grip when making cuts from underneath the workpiece or navigating curves. A dual-roller blade guide reduces blade deflection for accurate straight and curved cuts. An integrated LED light illuminates the cut line, while a built-in dust blower clears debris for better visibility. A dust extraction port allows connection to a vacuum, keeping the workspace clean. The adjustable base plate facilitates bevel cuts for angled joinery work.

• 26 mm stroke length – dictates the vertical distance the blade travels per stroke for material removal.
• Orbital action – allows adjustment of the blade pendulum motion to balance cutting speed and finish quality.
• Four speed settings – provides discrete control over the stroke rate for different materials.
• 6 m/s² vibration level in unalloyed steel – quantifies the hand-arm vibration during metal cutting tasks.
• 7.5 m/s² vibration level in wood – indicates the vibration exposure during standard woodworking applications.
• SDS system – enables quick, tool-free blade changes without requiring additional equipment.
