So I broke the last blade on my old Black & Decker and when I tried to order online, I discovered that there are two types of blade shanks, and the B&D only takes a U-shank blade. It always aggravated me because the blade kept falling out. The big box store only had one U-Shank product vs. about 20 for T-Shank. That made me dig out another jigsaw that someone had given me, but since it didn't have any blades I never used it. Turns out it's a newer model that takes the T-Shank blades. I picked up a set of DeWalt T-Shank blades today and found it had one labeled "Laminate" and the teeth went the opposite way. Your video explained why, and that's very useful because I'm about to start a flooring project. Also liked the tips, I learned a lot. Never heard of a flush-cut jigsaw blade before either, I will get one. You showed how the jigsaw can make curved cuts, my blade kit also included one labeled "scroll" and is very narrow for tight turns. My jigsaw also has an "oscillate" function which apparently moves the blade forward and backward in addition to up and down. Now I have to keep learning to see what else I can do with thing. Thanks.

Thanks Wally. A useful guide. You talked about speed in respect of feed speed. How about the relationship of feed speed to saw speed and different materials? I've had a cheap jig saw for years but never really had any regard for it because it wanders around with a mind of its own. I've come back to it, wondering whether it's just my lack of knowledge, to give it a second chance!
@DIYWithWally3 жыл бұрын
Hi Tony, great question! What I would recommend is to listen to your motor. You can always tell when your motor starts to labor a bit. That’s how you know you are either trying to go too fast through your material or perhaps your blade is dull and can’t keep up with the feed rate. I prefer to always go on the slower side because that also reduces the tear-out in your material. The answer may also be to upgrade your jigsaw to a variable speed if it isn’t already. Hope that helps a bit!

Hi, maple can be tricky. Push your blade too hard and it will burn. Not fast enough, you will risk overheating your jigsaw. If you are sanding afterward, get a very aggressive TPI blade. That will allow you to slowly move around the corners and not overheat the jigsaw. This will cause tear out though so be ready to sand it smooth again. Hope that helps.

I need to modify my front fiberglass door and sidelites (1 3/4") to accept the new door glass inserts for them. They already have inserts in them, just need to create a squared top instead of the current half round design, so not a lot of cutting needed. What blade would you suggest and what speed (guessing a 0 on the orbital switch?). Thanks for this great tutorial!
@DIYWithWally3 жыл бұрын
Hi, great question! I have never attempted that but definitely make sure you have at least a 21-24 tooth metal cutting blade. My 2 major concerns would be adding a straight edge so you get a good straight cut and that you will be able to get the blade all the way through both sides with 3-4 teeth still contacting each side. I worry that the blade will make the metal rough on the outside of the bottom. You’ll have to drill a hole first to get the blade in so maybe you can experiment there to see how the blade cuts on both top and bottom. Best of luck, let us know how it goes!

@DIYWithWally3 жыл бұрын
Hi, for fiberglass I would make sure to use the finest blade you have. Fiberglass tears easily(glass fibers) and the finer the blade, the less tearing there will be. Also, you’ll want to wear a mask and gloves as the fiberglass will get into your lungs and the fibers will cut your hands. Once you’re done the cut, take a file to the fibers. File from the outside of the door to the inside so you don’t tear the fibers back.
@daves54453 жыл бұрын
@@DIYWithWally Thanks for the tips. I think the door will be easier, as I can take it off the hinges and lay it on sawhorses. The sidelites on either side of the door are more problematic. I don't think the footprint of the jigsaw will be able to maneuver the cuts I need to accomplish. I think opting doing those with the oscillating tool might be the better option on those.

In other words, I can't keep the shoe flat because it vibrates so hard. I hate that.

Hi, thanks for the comments! I find the saw starts to jump if I don’t keep downward pressure on the saw. It can also happen if I’m trying to go too fast or if I am trying to cut a circle too tight. Also, maybe make sure your blade isn’t too dull. That can also make a difference. If you find the blade flexing backwards while you are cutting, slow down and let it cut straight up and down. Best of luck!

@DIYWithWally2 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for taking time to comment! What I mean is to slow the actual saw stroke count. Most newer jigsaws are variable speed and some even have a chart that shows what speed to use for different materials. Having said that, it would also be wise to slow your feed rate down too. That will reduce tearout even more. Hope that helps.

@DIYWithWally Жыл бұрын
Normally when the saw kicks back a bit, It’s because you are trying to force the blade through the wood faster than the saw can handle. What happens when you slow the feed rate down? Does the wood tear at all? It could also simply be that the blade needs to be replaced. Let us know we’d like to help figure this out for you.

What blade do you recommend for cutting curves? A finer blade?
@DIYWithWally6 ай бұрын
Yes, a finer tooth blade will give you a smoother cut for your curves. Generally jigsaws aren’t great at cutting tight curves though so go slowly and watch for flexing of the blade. You may need to add some relief cuts to your wood to help the process. The only caution here is that the finer tooth blades will have a tendency to burnish the wood if you let it sit in one place too long. I use the Bosch T101AO blades, they work quite well on curves.

It depends on the material but generally just a light sanding to take away the rough edges. It isn’t really designed to be a finish cut tool but with the right blade and some patience you can make very smooth cuts and reduce the sanding greatly.

Thanks for the tips Wally. I use the metal cutting blades for fine cutting in thin plywood at slightly slower speeds. Also the thinner blades are better for "scroll" type cuts as they allow you to "turn" the blade in the wood at tighter curves. Great channel.

I have the same model and my blade is drifting off the wheel. Do you have advice?
@DIYWithWally9 ай бұрын
Hi, thanks for this question. First, make sure your wheel spins freely. It could be that there is friction there that kicks the blade out. If that’s not it, let’s run through a couple possible other causes: 1) make sure you are using a T style blade. This jigsaw needs the stability of the T style to keep it in line. 2) I find that when my blade gets dull it tends to want to wander more. Maybe check to see if your blade is dull. 3) Blade speed. I find that when I cut thicker materials, the blade needs to be cutting at a higher speed to keep straight. If you are putting constant light pressure against the piece you are cutting, it should keep the blade in the wheel socket. Try those and let me know if that works. If not, let’s keep exploring. Good luck.

Great video! question: for mixing the tape and score tips, do you tape and then score or score and then tape over ?
@DIYWithWally3 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the comment! When I do both, I always score the wood first then put the tape over the score mark. That’s why I like the packing tape because you can see through it. Hope that helps!

Do you score lines after putting tape down?
@DIYWithWally Жыл бұрын
Hi, I’ve done both ways in the past. If you are going to score lines, do it before you put the tape down. That seems to work best for me.

Okay which number is the highest speed and which one is the lowest speed. I have numbers 1to5 and for the oscillating. It's like 0 up to 4 or 5. Which is the best setting is zero the best setting. For the speed, is five the highest and Is one the lowest.?
