How To Make a Jigsaw Guide | Jigsaw Crosscut Jig

[@ReviewsChannel-e4r]

Beautiful job. I'm a big fan of spraying on satin Varathane as a surface protectant.Wood slides right along. No splinters.

[@hajiothman4050]

Excellent video. Thank you very much sir.

[@marcmaurer8295]

Great and yet "simple" ideas. Is it possible to extend this jigsaw guide? When you have to cut longer pieces for example. I mean without having two guides, one for long and one for short pieces.

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

I believe you can, and it should work. The only thing I would keep in mind is that there is support only on one side, so possibly the jigsaw might tilt. having guides on both sides would be better.

[@FFD_Restorations]

This is a great demonstration how from few materials laying around can be made extremely useful tool. Great stuff 👍

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Thanks Boris, that's right. A very useful jig in the shop. For short and precise cutting really great. 👌

Incredible build and thank you for sharing! Can you please share how thick is the plywood you used to construct the jig?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello, thanks for the support. The plywood is 1,2 cm thick. 👍

very good contribution, thank you

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Will, thank you for the comment, much appreciated. Thank you!

[@barry-cq4xg]

This is really nice precise work. Can you confirm the quality of the plywood; it looked like Baltic Birch. thanks

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Thanks Barry, it is Baltic Birch. I had one go before that with standard construction plywood. It does the job but not as good as Birch.👍

[@barry-cq4xg]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop Thanks for your reply. Your gig is very useful for cutting a straight line with a jigsaw. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year.

This is the simplest one. Thank you 👍👍👏👏👏

Thank you very much for the simple and efficient idea... just made mine right now, same as yours and it's working great!! :)

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello, great comment! I am happy you liked it and that you have one now. Thanks! 👍

[@Matsal94]

All beautiful.. But.. What type of blade do you often use? For hardwood? For nice wood? BIM for har?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello, yes, I do use bimetal blades. I also have good experience with Bosch blades - those are the ones I prefer. Stay safe

[@tamasracz9547]

Thank you very much for sharing this jig seems very useful indeed. I am planning to do one as well. Would you mind sharing the dimensions of the alu angles? Are they 10mmx10mm?

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Tamás, thank you too. The angle is 1,4 x 1,1 cm. And the thickness is 1,2mm. Hope that helps. But really any angle would pretty much work. Just make sure it's not too thin. It still needs to be straight. 👍

Hello Subramaniam, thank you. And I am happy for the comment. This is helpful. 👍

[@mr.m2695]

The cut can’t be that straight seeing how you have to apply pressure to one end seeing how it higher and on a surface

[@mayurkhadke7732]

Hello sir

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hello, how are you doing?

[@uMpzZ26e03]

Whenever I use a jigsaw and ruler to support one side of jigsaw foot, or a guide supporting both sides of jigsaw foot, I get unappropriate results, the blade goes under angle. From my experience consequently, both types of jigs are inappropriate for jigsaw, at least for mine. I have green Bosch jigsaw. I measured the foot and blade angle with inclinometer, and they seem to be parallel say less then 0.2° mismatch, quite close. The blade is 20tpi, the reciprocial move is turned off, everything in order, but the jigs tested generally unusable. I do not advise making these, either with one or with two supporting sides. Only hand guidence of jigsaw should be practiced, or making blade guidance with two ball bearings to keep the blade perpendicular.

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Thanks for the comment. Have you tried a sturdier saw blade?

[@uMpzZ26e03]

@@AllFlavorWorkshop Through years of usage I used various saw blades. Maybe some specific blades would be better. However IMO the proposed jigs are generally unreliable in way they are presented in Internet by several practitioners.

[@CGreciful]

I agree. I found similar results. You can get stiffer blades, and higher quality roller bearing guides, but at the end of the day jigsaws are not made for straight cuts. Unless you go insanely slow, tension will build up asymmetrically across the blade and it will torque and turn. For straight cuts, really should have a cutting tool where the blade is supported on both sides of the work piece, or super rigid, like a tablesaw. Everything costs money, I need a bandsaw.

[@thomsonlaw6110]

Dear , can you tell me the name of the material and the wood measurement, so that I can easy to buy and make the jigsaw guide. Thanks

[@AllFlavorWorkshop]

Hi Thomson, sure, I'll ping you once again with the info. Thanks! :)
