Review: Festool Trion PS 300 EQ Jigsaw

Here is why Festool is the profes­sional choice when it comes to the best Jigsaws.


Festool Trion  Jigsaw
Wether you’re a do-it-yourselfer or profes­sional wood­worker looking for a commer­cial quality jigsaw, the Festool Trion PS 300 EQ is by far the best jigsaw you can buy.

When it came to buying a jigsaw for our high end cabinet shop, Festool made it easy. There’s no compro­mising here, just high quality and durability.

It’s 3-way blade guid­ance means the blade stays exactly at the angle you set. This means you can achieve precise bevel and miter cuts with ease. The non-scarring base plate takes the worries out of acci­dental damage to your projects. It sure beats taping up the base to protect your work.

Changing blades couldn’t be easier with Festool’s “fast fix” blade change. Just flip the lever, pop the blade out and replace, all with one finger. Nice.

The powerful 6 amp motor provides enough power to cut through 4–3/4 inch wooden beams, 3/4 inch aluminum, or 3/8 inch steel. Now that’s real power, and the cuts always come out straight and true. All that power combined with the vari­able speed control, low center of gravity, and ergonomic switch place­ment allows for easy oper­a­tion, and precise results. I should also mention that the power cord is the twist lock type, and is remov­able for easy storage.

Dust collec­tion is accom­plished by three slots in the base that connect to the rear dust collec­tion port. Using the splinter guard and chip guard are helpful not only in preventing damage, but also to assist with dust collection.

And don’t forget about trans­port and storage, Festool has that well in hand also, with their Systainer storage case. It’s made of extremely strong high impact plastic, and is stack­able with other Festool cases.

So if perfec­tion is your goal, look no further, Festool has you covered.

By the way, this jigsaw is also avail­able in a top handle model at the same price.
