Bosch 101AO 3-Inch 20-Tooth Jig Saw Blades, 5-Pack

These are the only blades smooth enough for any kind of finish carpentry. The straight teeth make all the difference in the world. From coping crown to the most extreme scrolling cuts, these blades are perfect! I haven't bought any different blade than these for years. If I can't find them in stock I'll do without rather than buying anything less than the best. If thinking about purchasing jigsaw blades, buy these. The only thing I would like to see from Bosch is the same blade a 1/2" longer. But you can't have your cake and eat it too!

I have a couple of jigsaws (including a Bosch barrel grip) and these blades are the best I have used. I prefer the Bosch blade style anyway, and this particular Bosch blade in particular. I have used this blade on many different woods and plywoods and I find the performance to be excellent in every material. The cuts are usually splinter free and the thin blade design allows for accurate curve cutting and scrollsaw-like precision. Though the blade is thin, it is surprisingly sturdy (they don't break too easily).

I highly recommend these blades to all finish carpenters and woodworkers. They are top notch and this is a very good price!

I think this is a great blade for the money. They are sharp and last long - I usually wind up breaking them before they dull.

I bought these blades in December, 2006, and have used them on hardwood and pressure treated decking. They give a smooth cut with little or no tear-out, but they do deflect a little. I would definitely recommend them though, as the cut is really clean. I can't figure out why amazon raised their price to above what the retail big-box stores carry these for, makes no sense to me. Amazon's price went to double what I paid just 6 months ago at amazon, yet the Marketplace sellers still have it at half the price. The India-based customer service reps were of no help when I asked about the price change.

I bought these blades to cut do some scrollwork in some marine grade plywood and there was almost zero tearout. Very smooth cuts. The best blades I've ever used.
