I made you a beautiful jigsaw cutting station but...I am unable to make a perfect 90º. Any advice that you can give me. I measure and used both my Square and T square but still, it's off. Thank you for your advice.

[@arthurranzini]

That´s a great video... beautiful work. I tried to replicate this cutting station, but my jigsaw just did not cut straight inside the guide. The blade bent to the left and unfortunatelly wasted the work. But I will not give up. I will watch the video again and again and try to fix the angle of the blade until I get it right. Thanks again!!!

[@charleskim128]

You're really great. I have a question. What was the thickness of the plywood?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello Si, thank you. I am usually using a 12mm thick plywood. This is the case for this build as well. Though I could have probably gone with a thinner piece for the rails - like 9mm. For the station I probably wouldn't go with anything thinner, I think those 12mm are adequate.

[@pabloalvarez6671]

Muy bueno el video

[@petermcmahon8707]

Very well done thank you. One question: how did you estimate the overall cutting depth given that blade lengths can vary? No dimensions were given for the rail or station.

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello Peter, that was was actually interesting. I quite tested a lot. the thickness of the station is 12mm and the thickness of the rail is also 12mm. I probably could have gone with a thinner piece of plywood for the rail, but I wanted the build to be rigid. So this alone takes away 2,5cm. Then I thought about the blades I used the most and calculated for those to leave enough space below the station.

[@petermcmahon8707]

[@declanwilson8864]

Hi, really good video, simple but very effective. One question, why did you use bolts to secure the guide rails and not just use screws - is this just personal choice? Thank you.

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Declan, thanks for the comment, I am glad you liked the video. Honestly it was a personal choice. I assume screws would work as well. Though my first choice why to go for bolts was that the thickness of the guide (plywood) is not that much and looking for screws they would go just a little in (not to go through on the other side). So to make sure the guide rails are stable I went for bolts - no problems there. Thanks! 👍

[@declanwilson8864]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop thank you for your response. I can see the logic now as to why you would use bolts. Take care, stay safe.

[@ethicalhacker1]

What type and size of screws nuts and bolts are you using especially for attaching the aluminium to the guide?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

I am using 4mm bolts, 1,8cm length and according nuts for a 4mm bolt.

[@ethicalhacker1]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop thanks and what is the thickness of the all thread rod your using, I've bought a 5mm all thread rod, it was the only one available online. Will a 5mmm all thread be enough to keep the guide in place? My tee nut is also 5mm but wing nut for 45 degree cuts is 6mm will have to get something 5mm for that too since me tee nuts are alll 5mm

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

@@ethicalhacker1 Hi JAmes! 5mm thread rod should be enough. I am using a 6mm one. Yes, get a matching threaded rod, wing nut and T-nut - I recommend to fix the T-nut with epoxy as well since there could be a lot of pressure when you hold the pieces down while cutting. 😉👍

[@ethicalhacker1]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop thanks so much for your response... And help. My return window for the 6mm wing nuts expired so wil have to switch to 6mm tee nuts and 6mm all thread. Now my only challenge is to cut the all thread to the needed size, since I don't have an angle grinder maybe I'll use my jigsaw machine with metal blades... Don't know if that will work cleanly

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

@@ethicalhacker1 That should work. clean it with sandpaper afterwards.

[@suecamilleri7363]

Hi I made one but unfortunately after it was nearly ready I made the cut and the jigsaw didn't make it straight so I had to open the cut but now I can't see where is the actual mark do you have any suggestions instead of I do another one just to see where is the mark .. Thanks

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello Sue, what do you mean by open the cut ? - to make it wider? and what is the mark you are looking for? Lets try to figure this out. 🙂

[@suecamilleri7363]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop thanks for your reply.and sorry about my English :) Yes I did a bigger slot to arrange the mistake but now I can't use it as a guide where to put the marked(line) wood as the cut is open wide now.

[@williambock1821]

I’d love to make one since my jigsaw is the only powered saw I have but I don’t know how I’d make precise enough cuts without a jigsaw cutting station. Maybe a hand pull saw or Japanese saw would work. I need one anyway. 🤔

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi William, that is true, could be dodgy ;) Though the only precise cut you need while making this is while cutting the slot in the guide and the table. Otherwise if the cuts are a bit skewed (for the table or the supporting legs) doesn't mid that much. Take a look at your jigsaw blade - that helps a lot depending on the cut you wanna make. 👍

[@williambock1821]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop Thanx! Duly noted 🙂

[@StarCoreSE]

I guess those holes allow to easily remove the jigsaw without scratching the trench ?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Yes, thats right. Though you can use the guide apart (not with the base) and you can better track your cut line though the holes.

[@maurovendas5148]

Very nice! By the way, the video shows the design for someone who is left-handed, right?

[@KealTR]

Hi, what's your drill bit for insert nut ?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Kenan, for the T-nuts under the jigsaw guide I was using a ⌀8. For the one holding the aluminium angle that serves as crosscut guide or any degree guide I was using a ⌀5 drill bit. Hope that helps! Thanks.

[@KealTR]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop Thanks everything i did it project but it did not happen like I want. Jigsaw always cutting irregular. I wonder why..

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

@@KealTR Kenan, irregular as the cuts are skewed?

[@ethicalhacker1]

I'm using 15mm thick plywood for the guide and 3mm thick aluminum guide rails so instead of m4 16mm machine screws do I need to use m4 20mm machine screws so that I can add nuts and washers to fasten them?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

I would probably go even with a longer screw (22mm perhaps). Take into account that a washer + nut will take you around 5mm of the screw.

[@Dancopymus]

Very good! Thanks for sharing. And this square, where can I get it; could you write your specs? I live in Brazil; Thanks

[@AudreyGerber]

Am stocking up to build this. Few questions: 1. Can you explain where you drew the lines on the base for the angle guide. 2. what is the size of the aluminium angle guide. Thanks.

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Audrey, I am looking forward how it turns out for you. For the angle guide: I drew 2 main lines - 1st - 25 cm from the edge (right side), 2nd - 35 cm from the edge. That's because of different width of wood to fit in. Nevertheless the guide can be dismounted turned around and mounted again (that also gives better options for different wood width sizes). 1) Apart from that I found the center of the guide and drilled a hole in. Drew one line on the board, in parallel (guide width) another one. Marked 45°, a parallel line (guide width) to that, marked the center of the rhombus and matched it with the guide center. 2) The length is 25 cm. 1,5 cm width, 1,1 cm height, just enough to fix the wood piece

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hope it helps ;) Let me know how it turns out.

[@jamesohagan156]

At 10.09 what is the name of the bold that is hammered in I can't find one anywhere

[@NA-hb7kl]

I think that thing he's hammering is called a "prong tee-nut", also sometimes spelled t-nut.

[@ethicalhacker1]

Can the base be reused with a circular saw guide too, I mean can we make the base reusable with not just this jigsaw guide but a circular saw guide too?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Great comment James. Yes, I have it on my list. That would work. Adjustments would have to be made but it makes complete sense a 2 in one solution. The elevated base would work nicely for that. 👍

埋め込みナットは下面からが正解だと感じました。　上からでは締め込んだ時に浮いてくると思われます。

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello Tsutomu. Thank you for the comment. That is correct. I believe the fix would be better if the nut was inserted from the bottom. From experience while using the cutting station the pressure on the nut when cutting wasnt that big that the nut would come off. Nevetheless I used epoxy to fix the nut better. Thanks for the tip! 👍

[@erosbignardi4140]

Hello. One question: why didn't you make the cut of the guide wider so that you can make cuts with the saw inclined at 45 ° for the entire length? I ask you because I wanted to know if there could be some problem

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Eros, good point, good idea. 👍 I was thinking about that. I decided not to do that in this video - long inclined cuts for a jigsaw might be a bit more problematic - I feel the accuracy would not be great, the center of gravity of the jigsaw would be shifted and pressure would be put elsewhere. Probably a shorter part of the cut would be good for that. But.. great idea, lets include that in another video :D
