Overview
Bosch built the JS470EB as a 120 volt corded jigsaw with an 840 watt motor and blade speeds up to 3,100 strokes per minute. The listing gives it a 9 inch capacity and an alloy steel build meant for repeated cuts in wood, plastic and metal.
Barrel grip jigsaws like this one favor close, low profile control over the pistol grip layout used on some other Bosch models. Being corded means output does not taper off mid cut the way a battery pack can. Between the 9 inch capacity figure and the alloy steel build, this reads as a saw meant for regular shop use rather than occasional trim jobs.

- Up to 3,100 strokes per minute
- 840 watt motor
- 9 inch capacity
Who it's for
Woodworkers and remodelers who keep a saw plugged in for curved cuts and cutouts will get steady power here. Anyone working off grid or without easy outlet access needs a cordless option instead.
Pros and cons
- Corded power, no battery runtime limits
- 840 watt motor for sustained cutting
- Alloy steel construction
- Needs an outlet, limits cordless jobs
- Barrel grip shape will not suit every user
Performance notes
Drawing from a 120 volt outlet rather than a battery, the JS470EB does not lose speed as a charge runs down. The 840 watt motor and 3,100 RPM top speed point to sustained cutting capability rather than brief touch ups, and the alloy steel build is meant to hold up under repeated use.
