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.
Great idea and I have to applaud your ingenuity, you’re giving me ideas on how to setup a mobile shop that is both cheaper and more functional than anything I would have bought. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you BlackMacX!
what would be the thickenss I could cut with using this jigsaw rig.. Say could i cut a guitar body blank of 5cm thick ?
The maximum cutting height you can get is 70mm. You can cut the guitar body, but you must go slowly and use a hard and long blade with few teeth.
