Do these cut straight or move out of straight line in one direction? All my existing blades turn to left even after all guides and precautions.

I didn't have any issues cutting with mine... Free hand in a jig saw you are always correcting. Were you using in some fixed tabletop saw perhaps to notice?

yes it accepts straight blades--it is a very smooth running saw--makes a nice clean cut--worth the money

Mine did. There ok but I switched them out with blades but I guess the answer is yes they do

I am not sure where you can get the replacement blades. Maybe try and Google it with the model number.It just cuts straight and on a 45 degree angle.

My blades were solid black on one side or you could flip them for a grey/black marble pattern on the other. They are flat

use the way they come. They tell you to leave a small flat on the blade, not a sharp edge. Best blade I ever used. Will but them again.

Yes, you can definitely adjust them and I've found that it is best to do so - and tighten them - after pretty much each use. If I am understanding the guides you are referencing correctly, you want to push the rollers (guides) forward or back so that they cover your blade as evenly as possible. Just look for the visible steel shafts protruding from the back part of the guide assembly and press it forward with your finger. When it's where you want it, just rotate the little red, round knobs to tighten the guides into place. Hope I've understood you correctly, but if not please let me know and I'll try again. My saw is in storage at the moment, so I'm operating on memory here. Yes, you can definitely adjust them and I've found that it is best to do so - and tighten them - after pretty much each use.

I had to think about this one for awhile. The cutter head will not cut backwards. It only cuts in one direction of rotation. This is because the individual blades are mounted on a individual studs machined onto the axle. The blades are mounted such that the rear of the blade is nestled against a retainer and the cutting edge (front) overhangs the stud so that it can bite into the wood.

send I pic so I can see! I taped and cut mine like the direction said and had no issues. Have a new blade because you will be cutting into metal!!

What does it do (or not do)? Are the blades turning in the right direction? Mine cuts through ice like butter.

I think they're fairly easy, but I don't have experience with other saws. The same is true of the guide adjustments. The first time I went to do it, I was apprehensive, but then I was done in a fairly short time, and everything worked. Like anything that benefits from precision, you can't do it super fast and expect a great result.

Two blades are supposed to run clockwise. Two are supposed to run anti-clockwise (counterclockwise). If they are doing this, it is correct.

I hope they do I have not had to change blades yet. When I got them I just put them aside thinking they was the right size. Now I will check to see if they are the right size.

Are you turning in the counter rotation direction? Ie the screw is desighned to tighten the blade when it rotates

My answer is yes. In fact, even without a straight edge the cut stays very straight. When you desire the maximum precision, use a sharp, medium toothed blade with a straight pitch setting. It will be slower but more accurate.

I havent that information since I ordered these blades blindly for a client (I have a small maintenance business) and when they arrive I had to make some minor modifications (drilling holes) to get them to work properly.

Have you possibly installed one of the blades upside down? Other than this, I cannot think of any other possibility.
