This jigsaw restoration project showcases the transformation from a neglected, corroded tool into a fully functional and shiny power tool.

Why Restore a Bosch GST 75 BE Jigsaw?

The Bosch GST 75 BE is a reliable and powerful jigsaw known for its durability and precision. However, like any power tool, it can suffer from rust, dirt buildup, and mechanical failures over time. Instead of throwing it away, I decided to restore it to its former glory using various restoration techniques and tools.

Step-by-Step Jigsaw Restoration Process

1. Disassembly and Inspection

The first step in any power tool restoration is disassembly. I carefully removed all the parts of the Bosch GST 75 BE, including the blade holder, base plate, motor, and casing. This helped me assess the extent of the damage and decide which parts needed the most attention.

2. Rust Removal and Cleaning

Since this jigsaw was covered in rust, I used rust remover, wire brushes, and sandpaper to clean the metal surfaces. For smaller components, I used WD-40, vinegar soaking, and metal polish to restore their shine. Cleaning tools like brass brushes, steel wool, and ultrasonic cleaners played a key role in this process.

3. Restoring the Jigsaw’s Motor

A common issue with old power tools is a faulty or clogged motor. I opened the motor housing, removed debris, and replaced any damaged carbon brushes to ensure smooth operation. Compressed air helped clear out dust and grime from inside the motor.

4. Lubrication and Reassembly

After cleaning all parts, I applied machine oil, grease, and lubricants to reduce friction and extend the life of moving components. Proper lubrication ensures that the jigsaw blade mechanism works smoothly without unnecessary wear and tear.

5. Testing and Final Touches

Once reassembled, I tested the Bosch GST 75 BE jigsaw to ensure it worked properly. The transformation was incredible! What was once a rusted and forgotten tool was now fully restored, running smoothly, and looking as good as new.
