I am going to make an update for my Portable Workshop jig saw guide so I can use it with blade angles up to 45 degrees.

To do that I have to remove the quick access cover.

Take in mind that you may need a different solution for other jig saw models, in my case I have to loosen this screw so I’ll make a hole in the plywood in order to get access to it without disassemble the jig saw. I am going to try if everything works with my bigest blade, I also have to modify the guide to adapt it to these angle cuts.

Now I am marking the position of the drill for the threaded insert.

And adjusting the height of the guide bearings.

I am gonna mark and sand the corners on the belt sander in order to get some more cut heigth.

And finally I am gonna show you how to use it with both miter gauge and fence.

And this is the final result.
