The Festool PSBC 500 EB-Basic Cordless Pendulum Jigsaw combines powerful cutting performance with precision and cordless mobility. Designed for professional carpentry, joinery and interior installation, it handles demanding straight, curved and angled cuts.

Powered by Festool’s 18 V battery system, the PSBC 500 features a brushless EC-TEC motor. Its adjustable stroke rate ranges from 1,000 to 3,800 strokes per minute. Furthermore, four pendulum settings allow users to adapt cutting performance to different materials.

The 26 mm stroke length supports cutting depths up to 120 mm in wood. The saw also cuts non-ferrous metals up to 20 mm and mild steel up to 10 mm, using suitable blades.

Festool’s three-way saw blade guidance helps maintain accurate cuts, even when working with thicker timber. Meanwhile, the adjustable base supports bevel cuts up to 45° on either side.

The bow-handle design provides controlled handling, while tool-free blade changes simplify operation. In addition, the supplied splinterguard helps minimise breakout along cut edges.

An integrated work light improves visibility, and the extractor connector supports cleaner cutting with compatible Festool dust extractors. Bluetooth connectivity also enables selected functions through the Festool app.

The Festool PSBC 500 EB-Basic is suitable for cutting rafters, decking, timber panels, kitchen worktops and furniture components. Its combination of precision, cutting capacity and cordless convenience makes it a versatile choice for professional woodworking and installation tasks.
