Make a guide to keep the jigsaw table blade vertical

How to make a simple guide to keep the blade vertical in the homemade jigsaw table. With just two small bearings and some pieces of scrap, this is a very easy to make yet very useful guide that will help us to make perfect cuts in a small woodworking shop with our jigsaw table. A great improvement for one of my best homemade tools.

Sergio, yours are the real tutorials, the others here use fully equipped workshops to show us how they build "home made" jigs :-). Well done.

[@yonatan1myers]

You have to love this guy. Simple, cheap and ingenious. You do not need 1M $ to have a good workshop.

[@dragonsword7370]

The sign of a true Craftsman or a shop maker, is a crafter who can make his own tools. That's why the 1st true test of a blacksmith is when he can forge his own set of tools. Or even if he needs a very specific tool for manufacturing or something else for just for one product he can make his own piece. I still need think learn this.

VERY DETAILED DESCRIPTION, SO GOOD.

[@killermurderer2208]

Brilliant idea putting the nylon in the bearings!

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you. It is what I found by hand 😅. And they do the job 😄. Yet the same nylon wall plugs and the same bearings after some years

[@wattscreates1977]

You have a thick accent, but I can tell you have taken care to make the words understandable. You did a great job. Everything was clear. Awesome work. Smart idea ☺️

[@btparker08]

great use of those bearings. it's surprising how clean a jigsaw can actually cut when you have a good blade. good video.

[@christopheraddlesee5588]

I cant afford a bandsaw at moment so this is a great substitute for a budget bandsaw for small craft jobs etc until i can get one!! thank you so much for sharing these videos!!!

[@mr.b.w.3146]

Thanx for video. I have just this day finished my jigsaw table. I used bearings similar to you but put them on a bridge across the width of the table so I can cut longer lengths of wood. Also I have added an adjustable guide fence. I have yet to try this out, as I have just finished and it has gone midnight!

[@mr.b.w.3146]

I have just been given a longer cutting blade and that should fit nicely through the bearings, I also will try freehand and using the fence guide to see which is best. I think like yours I will try to change the bearing support so I have two cutting options. Thanks for that idea.

[@darrenpearce6797]

Fantastic Tutorial. It's not just about the money, it's the satisfaction of building a solution that works. This guy is amazing.

[@danford6644]

Great idea!

[@b3arwithm3]

I love how you always find the simpler solutions. Your stuff works well and simple to make for us newbies 👌

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much 😀

[@phenooharra8310]

Excellent presentation. Very clear, concise and detailed. Congratulations. 🙏

[@lantose]

Exactly what I had in mind, but just needed a visual to see what was necessary to complete this project without any further brainstorming! Great idea and thanks for the ingenuity!

[@vidskitkid]

Nice clear concise and easy to understand "How To" video that will save me time and money. Thank you!

[@tomaspisecky4835]

man your English is not bad at all even the vocabulary is not too rich (synonyms etc.), on the other side it might be even plus as it is understandable to even wider audience, it just need a little work on your pronnounciation/accent and it'll be absolute top you have my upmost respect sir P.S.: beerings made my day as commented bit higher, THANK YOU :)

[@olafschermann1592]

Another great and cheap DIY Solution. As a safety feature i would attach an emergency stop button which disrupts the power to the jigsaw.

[@chookin1]

Superb!

[@ArcanePath360]

Simple and effective. Two words every builder wants to hear. Thanks

[@illustrations.byozge]

Great video👍 Thanks for sharing. First, I will build the table in previous video then I will build that one

[@davidcarr5734]

You sir are one very clever dude. Bravo!

Thanks for watching :) It is not the nicest one, but it is easy to make :)

[@truthfinder6999]

Excellent! Simple ! Thanks.

[@pikifrino]

U r doing an excellent job Sergio. U r the top! Thank you

[@KroMagnum4]

Truly you are an inspiration. Keep it up.

[@JessicaChandos]

You my good sir are a genius. I can’t wait to try to set my own up!

[@robertbutler8004]

You can't be serious anyone with half a brain would have installed similar blade support from the side and leave it there permanently.

[@JessicaChandos]

ROBERT BUTLER if you don’t have anything nice to say MOVE ALONG 😛

[@datadev1]

Wow! Makes a nice square cut. Good update.

[@SaucyTreasures]

I love your straightforward approach, and I have learned a lot from your good instruction! Thank you so much.

[@natibk3r]

Excellent idea! I'm buying my first jig saw tomorrow, this vid is a great help.

[@sneeuwwolf1176]

Excellento dude. I was just making a jigsaw table and encountered the same issues. So thanks for sharing!!!

[@maranathayall]

Thanks for making this easy to understand!

[@billrea6487]

Hey, great design, Opens doors to some other projects. Keep'm coming.

[@vitorbeca3094]

Gracias Sergio ... muy sencillo de realizar con su ayuda !! Un abrazo desde Portugal !!

[@100achillguy7]

As a field carpenter I could have used the drywall nylon plastic anchor for a few other applicatios! Good trick good video thank you much

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much and thanks for watching 😀

[@raheem274]

Thanks for clear explanations.

[@jeff1865]

Thank you Sergio, this is exactly what I needed for my jig saw.

[@oscar86456]

thank you for sharing this very useful idea

[@helenescandor672]

Excellent and you explained very well and patiently. Cheers!☺

[@robmarmaduke]

Great idea to use the rawlplugs!

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

Thank you very much Rob. They worked great in this project as a help to hols the bearings 😀

[@blackfender100]

Very smart Sergio thanks.

[@Iainwilliams67]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us,this has solved my problem.

[@deltamike20]

just great, in 20 mins i'm going to start making one myself. thank you....

[@brianmorris8045]

You have thought that out beautifully, Sergio...well done senor. And it looks a very professional looking table. Don't you just love plywood for neatness alone? The fact that sometimes things don't work as they should, at times, makes you improve on ideas....hence the rollerskating bearings.

[@indianajones7470]

That’s a great idea my friend

[@hermanclores6911]

...helps me a lot...you give a great idea..

[@junchavez1078]

Wow. perfect. Thank you for the idea sir

I like that! Good thinking.

[@ferozrahman7615]

Good Job !

[@ayhancapan]

Thanks man, u r wise...

[@rltech8327]

Great Job Sir

[@FarmerFpv]

Fantastic build/tutorial mate, I built one similar but with 3 bearing supports, 1 behind the blade to keep friction down and the other 2 on the sides. It gets a lot of force pushed on the blade, you should consider using 3 bearings for the blade supports. It operates much smoother and much more precise. Also used a narrower blade to get tighter radius cuts. I'm sure yours is perfect I'm just really picky about precision, lol.

[@shamsularfeen1676]

That was awesome stuff..👌❤

[@mastersullivan]

very well done!!

[@lukewadel3675]

Thank you for your great videos and channel! You are a great teacher and an ingenious woodworker. Most of my blades are only about 3 inches or 4 inches long, and I would like to make a guide for them. But the 3 inch ones are drawn completely into the shoe of the jigsaw on the upstroke. If I used very small bearings that could catch the blade at the bottom of the downstroke (to correct any sideways bending), would that be better than no guide at all? I wish you a great day!

[@norocketsciencebuild5371]

Good trick!

[@otherbrothersteve]

Brilliant!

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

brilliant!

[@somapalakarunanamage3796]

Hello friend, i always liked your videos. I have a question regarding the jigsaw table, why is that when i try to cut a piece of wood (without blade guide) my work piece jumps and goes out of control? I am amateur woodworker from Sri Lanka.please teach me. Thank you so much.

[@GSimon850]

Thanks for sharing dude :-)

[@rafikhan908]

Obrigardo

[@didisenior9263]

Genius!

[@nyomansutrisna3716]

very good tutorial. it is useful, but how about if we cut long board?

[@patrickstratton4630]

I followed your ingenious guide but.changed the design slightly so that the bearings were across the board on a bridge but in no time at all the back of the blade cut through the soft metal let alone the wood

[@rhymegames-puzzlesjigsawst2131]

Such a amazing video. Thanks for the effort you put into it! Cant wait to see what you post next :) :)

[@fgh-hi9tl]

мужик, ты крут,! man you 're cool!

[@mahmoudboughdady1156]

nice

[@MusicWorldandcomputer]

Good job!! :-))

[@reduniverse0]

by mitter cutting at an angle of 45° the bearing support, you could have more room to cut big piece of wood.

[@fetabrown]

Legend.

[@itscaboodle]

Great info and was very easy to follow your instructions just have 2 questions.what speed do you recommend to run the jigsaw when using the table, also what setting for pendulum action ...0 1 2

[@cheshuevich4]

Thx, good work! )

[@bobwolf1811]

Sergio, this is a great idea! I plan to make a similar saw, using my Sawzall. My main problem has been figuring out how to make a blade guide. Have you figured out how to adjust for different kerfs of different blades? Also, have you figured out how to adjust for cutting wood that is thicker?

[@eibimalul]

Brilliant!! Say, how long is your blade?

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks, what are the size of the bearings?

[@lennym1273]

How about putting the support from the side in place of putting it behind the blade?

[@WoodworkingwithDIYtools]

I also have a video where I show how I put the support in one side of the jigsaw table. But only for when I have to make long straight cuts. For small cuts and curves I prefer this configuration

[@niklar55]

Instead of plastic plugs, it would be better to use short pieces of aluminium rod, and drill a little off centre, then they would be adjustable, for greater precision. .

[@nomadbud4378]

run the guides from the side , so long stock can be cut .

[@fernandolima4386]

Se tiver um video com serra de fita, ficaria grato.

[@burricanecarter]

Thanks for a very informative video. I'm going to try to build this guide myself. What did you mean at @5:48 when you say, that the bearings turns off center?

[@sean7058]

Just recess the top to set the saw plate in then screw down so the saw plat is flush with tsble

[@sean7058]

A thrust bearing would be a good upgrade on the blade guide
