Thread: Table top jigsaw mount

  1. Back To Top    #1

    Table top jigsaw mount

    Just a quick, simple tool build - this is something I have been wanting to make for a long time... I am always disappointed with my jigsaw cuts, so I am hoping this little thing helps. My hands aren't as steady as they used to be and I think my eyes aren't as good either, so my cuts aren't turning out very good and it's hard to keep the dust off the cutting line to where I can see it clearly.

    I guess it's like a band saw made with a jigsaw, that has no size restrictions. It'll be a table top size and easy to clamp to a workbench...

    I bought a Wen jigsaw because they are cheap, but get great reviews AND I needed it to be black. It also has all of the switches and knobs where I need them to be. Of course I'm using 3/4" Baltic Birch, and it will have a stainless steel top to match my router lift cart.

    I routered a recess into the plywood to sink the jigsaw to give the blade a decent cutting depth/height:











    That's where I'm at for now...

    Thanks! Not yet, I just glued the joints today, so I want them to dry and cure before I stress them... I still want to sand the edges a little, fill some holes and then paint it black. I really like how stainless steel looks against flat black paint.

    It's supposed to match this guy:

    I had a similar setup back in the early 90's, somebody made a metal plate with recessed screws to hold a jigsaw from underneath. It worked out great. The only problem I see with using 1/2" plywood as a base is you lose 1/2" of blade stroke. You might consider doing aluminum plate or phenolic plastic instead.
