Few People Know This Jigsaw Trick | How to Cut Clean With Jigsaw

Thank you for this video - obviously there are people on here complaining that it's tips they already knew - forgetting that there are other people in this world besides them that do appreciate your tips since we have never attempted using power tools for basic small jobs. Now I dont have to worry about mishandling a circular saw - you saved my fingers👍

I just can't believe how so many of viewers can miss the point! Of course you can use a high end tool and blade, That's not the point, this man is teaching valuable tricks for those of us that have to work what we got and sometimes improvise. Thank you my good man, your effort in educating others is very much appreciated.

I think most of them want to misunderstand so they hve an excuse to broadcast their skill level the quality & range of their tools etc.

[@rylewx]

It’s not missing the point it’s overlooking the point. It’s like if the video was about the choosing the best blades for clean cuts, and someone commented ‘just tape your cut line’. Some ppl’s resourcefulness in a given situation are through skill/knowledge and others are through money. This is why we all have the same potential for great wealth and abundance if we can operate from the appropriate context.

For people who don’t have many tools, but a jigsaw is one of them, this makes it more versatile. (Also check the different types of blades available.) Always good to know the different ways you can modify the performance of all your tools. And often times the modifications are, like these, fairly simple.

[@baimun]

I use this tape trick all the time as a guitar builder. It keeps new router openings from tearing out, if I'm drilling holes for a bridge it will keep the finish from flaking out, and it provides a great location for guide markings. Draw lines, crosshairs, or tape on the guitar, tape on the template, and then a quick spray of contact adhesive on the template tape, press the template in place, and it will stay in place much easier with less clamping force.

[@hankmesker]

When drilling do you use the tape at the back of the wood to prevent flaking?

[@deepdene31]

I always use a down cutting blade but you must turn off the pendulum action. This will give a perfectly clean top surface on ply and melamine boards (as used for cabinet making ) as the blades are incredibly sharp. You must also keep a steady downwards pressure on the jigsaw as it will tend to rise up

[@LousyHeroShorts]

What about cutting something thick like butcher board?

[@deepdene31]

Makita cordless jigsaw & Makita B19 Down cutting blades

[@deepdene31]

These blades are purpose made for cutting Melamine and Formica bench tops and are incredibly sharp. THEY DO NOT LIKE TIGHT RADIUS BENDS. I have cut a swept bend and then “sneaked up” to the original line with a second pass after the waste has fallen away. Regarding the thicker boards like butcher blocks, they create problems with blade drift which causes the cuts to not stay perpendicular. I have yet to learn that skill or to find a better blade. Perhaps a bandsaw would be better for thick stock

Another quite simple "trick" is to just use the saw from the bottom side...

[@Theforestcarpenter]

Coming from a professional... that's just what you do

[@fartingfury]

You can also get blades with the teeth reversed, mostly for doing accurate (or as much as is actually possible with a jigsaw) in laminated boards. Makes the tool want to bounce though.

[@J97H51]

@@fartingfury yeah I was about to say. The teeth on a jigsaw are designed to cut on the pull so that it drags the jigsaw and the workpiece together as it cuts. When you reverse the blade you have to really secure your work and hold onto the jigsaw for dear life because it is jumping all over the place like a Jack hammer

[@bertbert1755]

jig and circular saw: finish side down. table saw finish side up. tape good if you need both sides finished. first scribe cut line with razor knife also reduces splintering.

The best way is to just cut upside down, but it requires a steady hand. When you put the saw on the underside, thf blade will pull down during cutting, thud you will have a perfect cut on top without any splinters. Another huge advantage is that you see where you are cutting, without the saw case obstruction your view.

[@Eric_W]

Upside down, really? So why not just turn the board over and cut it...? But that isn't the point here, the point is for a clean cut on BOTH sides of the board, thus the tape.
