Another review says it doesn’t but it fits the PST 700 E. If you flip it over you can find the supplied clamp and the circle pin on the bottom of the black handle. There are 2 sizes on the clamp just turn it around to fit your saw. The small one fits (PST 700 e) but you need to move the screw away from the blade to the second of the screw holes so it clamps down tight, and then it holds fine. See pics. The bar is metal but the handle/guide is plastic but it works. 1 star less for the plastic handle and the really poor fitting instructions. Also it wasn’t included with the jigsaw in the first place. As for circles, I would use a screw over supplied plastic pin. Another review said you need to drill a hole,

I'm really pleased to give this parallel guide 5?. Even though I haven't used it yet. I attached it to the saw in several ways. Just to make sure that I sufficiently understood it. No problems whatsoever. I even found that the steel bodied center spike would be very good for the purpose of which it's intended. I also like the way in which the spike stows away and locks into position under the plastic guide rail. It seems to me that once set up and in use, it will carry out the task for which it is intended, as long as it's used properly and not treated too roughly. Just let the tool do it's job instead of wrestling with it.

This is a universal guide from Bosch. It fits my GST 160 BCE perfectly, which I was a little surprised did not come with a guide.The guide has the clamp for securing and adjusting the guide and the dowel for cutting circles fitted into the back of the guide - so no loose parts when you store it.The guide works great, secure and robust enough for what I've done so far. I've not used the circle guide yet, but it is a nice bonus and can't see any problem using it. Drill a hole drop the dowel through the guide into it and you're ready.Very happy with the tool.

It's fine as an edge guide, but it's a bit odd elsewhere. It has a slot in that ought to fit (a non-Bosch!; does not fit the Bosch ones at all) guide rail, such as Dewalt, Festool or Makita. Except its a bit too narrow, and has to be filed wider (not too hard, the basic slot is the right width, but it has four raised parts (less than 1mm high) on each side that need taking down. How very peculiar; shame Bosch could not just make it the right width.

Giving this 5 stars despite not using it yet as it is a good solution for a huge range of jigsaws sold by Bosch.If you follow the instructions and it isn't tight you need to move the screw to the other hole, it even took my engineering background about 15 minutes to figure this out!It comes with a plastic pin for circles but you are much better using a small screw instead.

A bit on the large side. I have just taken the clip - the original broke- to use with my old guide which fits in the case I have. Expensive for such a tiny part, but I have not found it available on its own and in overall terms worthwhile. Good quality and fine for anybody without this constraint.

Work fine, except it doesn't quite fit non Bosch guide rails (eg Dewalt, Festool; it does not fit the Bosch guide rails at all). There are a few blobs in the guide rail channel that stop it doing so - why? Otherwise great.

You'll wonder how the devil it fits at first! It looks impossible, but persevere and suddenly it all clicks into place.It really helps when trying to cut a long straight piece off a bigger piece of wood.

This item has a variety of uses with a jigsaw and the first couple of uses seem to indicate that the quality is good and should last a long while.

Item is described and does the job as required. It appears to be good quality and reasonably robust so should have a good usage life.

The device that clamps the guide to the jigsaw is larger than the base plate. I haven’t actually used it so I will have to try it.

This product was about a third of the price on the majorstores and it works well and has some extra useful functions

Bought a jig saw but it came without a guide fence. I haven't used it yet bu it looks and feels sturdy enough.

don't feel it's very solid, but seems alright. Would be a five stars if the jigsaw case has room to fit this

Good size proper cutting guide from Bosch. Supplier went to great length to source this direct from Bosch.
