Sabre Saw??'s reply

[pianoman]

Hi Jim,
		Last year I bought my wife a DeWalt Model 321 Jigsaw.  It has variable
speed and a blower that blows the sawdust out of the way.  I wanted to buy
her a Porter-Cable but changed my mind when I used each of them at the
Woodcrafters store.  It was also slightly cheaper.  According to my
Woodworkers Supply catalog it sells now for $164.00,  It also has a    l  o
 n  g   cord.
