   Dewalt just introduced some new jigsaws, and one of the selling points was the flush cutting ability - but looking at the pictures, I don't see why the new dewalt blade wouldn't work on the Bosch jigsaw.

   I scored some of those blades on ebay.  I had to pull the blade guard off my 1590.  It is a little wire that is pressed into two holes with loc-tite.  It re-installed and has not fallen out yet.

   I recently got that new jig saw, and with it came the blade of which you speak. That thing is awesome. I have an old barrel grip Bosch, I'll have to see if the DW blade fits it, but I can't see why not.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

   Bit of a Hi-Jack but do you or anybody else remember a Craftsman jig saw from the late sixties that came with an adapter for flush cutting? Saw had oil-lite bushings , one on each side of the main shaft. Adapter clamped to the main shaft shaft and a post inserted into the bushings. Allowed a standard blade to be used out at the very edge of the side of the sole plate. I had one , loved the thing, I could flush cut all along the sink back if needed. It finally died sometime into the early 90's. Never have seen another like it.
