Reviews about Jigsaw Bosch PST 900 PEL

Compact saws in general and jigsaws in particular enjoy stable demand in the market, motivating manufacturers to develop new models. And this process does not stand still, as evidenced by the output of increasingly more technological and productive units. Traditionally, the main direction of development of jigsaws is the increase in capacity and the expansion of opportunities for processing materials. German jigsaw Bosch PST 900 PEL Compact does not have revolutionary performance indicators and also has a lot of competitors in terms of "omnivorous" materials, but ergonomic advantages and functionality knock out this model from a common number of similar tools.

General information about the model

The device is a version of a jigsaw for household use. To begin with it is necessary to say that the border between professional saws of this type and modifications designed for home masters is practically blurred. Increasingly, manufacturers of instruments are trying to combine the high performance of specialized devices and the ease of operation characteristic of household appliances. In turn, electric jigsaw Bosch PST 900 PEL does not demonstrate the quality of the hybrid - it is entirely subordinate to the needs of an unprofessional user. This is indicated by the availability of a wide range of options and technical additions that facilitate the work process, making the tool safer and more efficient.

At the same time, we can not say that the jigsaw is completely devoid of the makings of a powerful and productive saw. The model is endowed with a decent power potential and, in general, good cutting abilities of different materials, therefore in some events it can be used by professional builders. However, technical qualities should be considered separately.

Technical data

Despite belonging to the class of household electric tools, the heart of the stuffing of the device is a power plant with a power of 620 W. This potential is sufficient for confident work with wood, plastic, rubber, ceramic tiles and even with some metals. The user can make cutouts and longitudinal cuts within the parameters set. In particular, the woodwork of the Bosch PST 900 PEL jigsaw is capable of machining at a level of 90 mm, the aluminum is liable to a depth of 15 mm, and the steel is cut to 8 mm. Of course, household models have always differed in the possibilities of figured cutting, allowing home craftsmen to create exquisite decorative items for their own needs. The model from "Bosch" was no exception - in the hands of the master, it copes qualitatively with both straight and curved cuts with a maximum angle of 45 °.

Features jigsaw

The model absorbed almost all the technological developments that are provided by Bosch for its line of electric jigsaws. Most of the implemented options are designed to improve the convenience of the tool and the quality of the processing. In particular, the device is equipped with PowerLight backlighting, which provides optimal visibility of the cutting site. For optimum adjustment of the working stroke, the design wheel is provided in the structure - by controlling this element, the user of the Bosch PST 900 PEL can adjust the sawing frequency to the characteristics of the specific material. If within the framework of one event it is planned to work with several building materials, the operator can use the Bosch-SDS system, which will allow updating the attachment with minimum delay and continue the process. Separate attention to the developers paid attention to the cleanliness of the workplace. First, the model is provided with the possibility of connecting to a construction vacuum cleaner that removes dust directly during cutting. Secondly, the protective screen in the construction allows the operator to better see the cutting site, increasing the efficiency of chip collection.

Reviews of the package

Manufacturers of the Bosch level are striving to maximize the list of additional options, but the basic equipment is rather poor. In this case, users mark a good set already in the standard delivery. So, along with the jigsaw, the owner receives a plastic case, a saw blade, a special compartment for storing working elements, as well as a transparent protective cloth and a barrier against chipping. Also the owners have the opportunity to retrofit the Bosch PST 900 PEL.

Feedback on the optional equipment is less impressive, as the range of accessories is limited only by sets of saws. Another thing is that the assortment presents a variety of kits designed for both universal use and special tasks.

Reviews about design and design

The model is made in the traditional style of the company with a green tint, which emphasizes the accessory of the jig saw to the category of household devices. To the quality of assembly, most owners have no complaints - all the connections are tightly packed without gaps and backlashes. Even under conditions of intensive operation, only occasional vibrations are observed, because of which dynamic deformations can be detected. But this is not essential for such an instrument. Attractive and the design, which is executed jig saw Bosch PST 900 PEL. The reviews emphasize the organic fusion of the stylistic merits of the instrument and its ergonomic qualities. However, the latter deserve a separate consideration.

Opinions on ergonomics

Of course, in this aspect the strongest side of this model is manifested. Even inexperienced users testify that the device is most subordinate to the operator, but at the same time relieves it of unnecessary work. Easy-to-use handle, illuminated view, protective elements and dust extraction system with vibration absorber - these and other qualities take away all barriers and difficulties that builders usually encounter in the process of sawing. The owners of Bosch PST 900 PEL and systems that increase the accuracy of work are mentioned. Adjusting the stroke and proprietary control technology ensure high accuracy of cutting materials. But, in addition to new technologies, the very design of the tool facilitates the installation operations. Thanks to a modest mass of 2.2 kg and a comfortable handle, the device is almost not felt in the process of performing work.

Reviews about the functionality of Bosch PST 900 PEL

With the manufacturer's declared tasks, the tool as a whole manages. The owners note the balanced possibilities of sawing, successfully backed up by a quick change of the working element and its smooth running. Especially many praise the implementation of the system, which allows you to fix the file and quickly change it without the use of additional devices. Even at the stage of choosing buyers, the function of the dust collector is captivating. This ability significantly increases the usability of the Bosch PST 900 PEL, but there are some shortcomings.

There are comments on the work of suction mechanisms - they can effectively collect dust, but at the same time ignore the fine sawdust. However, this nuance depends on the type of industrial vacuum cleaner that is connected to the device. The manufacturer recommends using models from his own line of construction units.

Tool health assessments

Ergonomics and functionality today can surprise even inexpensive Chinese devices. Another thing is that the quality of performance in this case seriously suffers. Also, the power potential can not be imitated by a weak technical stuffing. According to users of the German jigsaw, the tool effectively processes all the claimed materials from wood to metals. This is facilitated by both the power and the options for adjusting the stroke of the operating element Bosch PST 900 PEL. The reviews emphasize that the quality of the result is not so much dependent on the electric motor as on the competent choice of sawing mode. It is worth remembering the fact that the machine is not intended for professional use in order to process solid materials.

Who will use the model?

Despite positioning as a household device, the capabilities of this model allow it to be considered as a universal electric jigsaw. Due to the convenience of use the device is suitable for almost any task performed within the household. The level of preparation of the operator does not matter. With regard to professional use, the Bosch PST 900 PEL jigsaw is quite suitable for medium-sized tasks, but its power does not meet the requirements of many specialized areas of operation. First of all, this concerns moderate parameters of the cutting depth, but the time duration of operations for this electrical appliance is limited.

Conclusion

The model is noteworthy in that its qualities were designed specifically to meet a rather narrow segment. Usually, modern manufacturers are trying to reach the maximum number of users. In the sphere of the construction tool it is impossible to imagine that the developers will bypass the interests of the professional niche. Of course, there is an initial level, designed for purely domestic use, but the characteristics in such cases are completely subject to the requirements of a non-exacting user.

In turn, the Bosch PST 900 PEL jigsaw with its example showed that the devices for home use can be impressed by the technology and wide functionality. The only thing that distinguishes this unit from professional-grade models is its modest performance. Also, a jigsaw can surprise with a price tag that varies from 5 to 6 thousand rubles. Again, for the household model this is quite a lot, but for this money the home master receives not only the convenience and quality of cutting, but also the longevity of the tool.
