Cutting straight lines with a jigsaw using the router method 

Wouldn't it be easier to just clamp a straight edge to the workpiece and use that as a guide? The method in the video essentially does the same thing, but with the added step of screwing a piece of wood to the jigsaw.

역시 응용면에서는 따라갈 사라이 없을듯 유익한 영상 잘보고갑니다 다음 영상도 기대해볼께요 ~~~

🙃🥴The irony of this video is that you need advanced power tools, like a table saw, to create a jig for making straight cuts with a jigsaw. However, if beginners had access to those advanced tools, they would likely choose to use them instead of a jigsaw for this specific task.

Better to use the right tool for the right job. But if you have nothing else, I guess this can work as a permanent workaround if you not planning use the jigsaw for something else. Can also just use a guide and clamp as usual instead of fixing wood to the jigsaw which you will need to remove again when using it as intended. The ideal tool will be a circular saw and will give a much more desirable finish. Jigsaw is better for odd shapes, curves and tight corners in my opinion.

형님의 아이디어는 늘 새롭습니다~^^ 너무 멋진 방법이네요~*^^*

The black plastic guard that is on the bottom of the jigsaw...actually has square and parallel sides. Put a straight edge on the top of your timber and use it instead. Good brands state on them how wide they are between the edge and jigsaw edge.

I think this is a nice idea for when cutting close to the edge of a board, where the sole plate might wobble, otherwise a clamped straight edge will do the same when the base is fully supported.

가이드를 멋지게 만드셨네요. 좋은 아이디어입니다 톱작업 대신으로 작업해도 될것같네요. 지금 리모델링하는 작업대가 완성되면 제작해보겠습니다..감사합니다~~✅

Сверху пил ровный, а вот за счёт мягкости пилки и фиксации её только с одной стороны 90° торец всё равно не получится. Только Фрезер, ленточная пила или циркулярная даст ровный пил и торец 90°... Бессмысленная приблуда, с тем же успехом можно подошву лобзика просто упирать в направляющую

Neat idea! Thought about the same thing a few days ago, as whenever i cut, i have to work out the inconsistencies later, getting tired of it, wasting time.

와... 이건 저도 써먹어야겠어요 🌟🌟 매번 잘 보고 가요 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Great idea and demonstration! I’m going to do this to my reciprocating saw.

Ficou muito top seu vídeo parabéns já deixei o meu like 🇧🇷👍👍👍👍👍💯

If you have a square or a straight endge you can run it against the the saw guide and will save you time and gives precision.

Excellent! Really great way to keep the cut straight. 😎

If you use templates this works with almost every shape, including guitars. This is actually a very common and straightforward method. But if you want something straight, a chisel or a plane would also do a fine job, just takes more skill and time.

Thank you. This video is precisely what I needed.

С направляющей планкой можно было добиться такого же результата с самого начала.

최고 ^^ 안그래도 직쏘기 가이드 만들려고 했는데 마침 이런 동영상이 있었네요. 참고하겠습니다.

Ficou top das galáxias. 👍

Buenísimo. Gracias por compartir 👍👍

굿 아이디어 입니다

페스툴 직쏘기가 따로 필요 없겠네요~~~~ㅋ 정보 감사합니다~~ㅎ 추석명절 잘 보내세요~~^^

Bravo, belle réalisation, c'est simple, mais il fallait y penser 👍😃. Comme quoi, avec un peu de réflexion, tout est réalisable !

Good solution to a jigsaw puzzle 👏

Nice job really useful 👍 🙏

Thank You. I need to make angled cuts on a 1900mm piece of plywood. This will do the job much more accurately than trying to follow a line. In fact I can use it with a circular saw. Much better than the saw guide cutting through the centre that I tried. Straight edge is of course another piece of ply.👍👍👍

와 기발하다.. 좋은정보 감사합니다. 내일 당장 만들어봐야겠어요!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

안녕하세요 구독 좋아요 꾹꾹 누르고 시청하고 있습니다 저도 만드는걸 좋아해서 여러가지 국가 기능자격증도 취득하고 더 좋은 제품을 만들고 싶어서 도전 중입니다 선생님께서 알려주신 방법은 제게 가구 제작 기능사 실기 시험을 보는데 많은 도움을 줄걸로 사로 됩니다 아울러 선생님 채널도 번창하세요

Hey Maker. Great tips. Thanks for sharing.🍁🍁👍👍

Terimakasih banyak atas idenya.. Two tump up... Bogor Indonesia hadir

El sabe sabe, abrazo desde argentina. Gracias por compartir su sabiduría.

Всё гениальное - просто! 🤝👍

Simple jig but very Accurate and precise thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing 👍

thank you for this video!

I could swear when I used to do a bit of cutting that a gremlin was in the saw and on purpose always pushed it off line, cheers for this

Crap! It seems that I need to buy a table saw in order to make a jury rigging of my jigsaw in order to not having to buy a table say... 🤣

Bien . Astuce facile et simple 👍

Bravo ! Cette astuce est géniale !

Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , con esa plantilla fácil de hacer y de colocar , problema resuelto y buenos cortés , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 🛠️ 🔝

A clever idea for specific purposes. Neat! Happy building and staying busy. Northern Michigan here by the way. 😁

Thank you/from Thailand.

Молодец,возьму на заметку(пример)

The best cut and under the panel👍In Switzerland we put the machine under the panel

Ill I can say is…AMAZING!!! Im gonna make one!

Probably wouldn’t be using a jigsaw if I needed straight cuts but making jigs are enjoyable. Good job on that.

Great solution to finish 👏👍 Even with a circular saw you could get a wobble.

Super! Ich liebe solche simple und hilfreiche ideen 👌🏽

This is a great idea. Thanks for the video.

Very good idea but I always have blade deflection when I use a jigsaw. Never cuts square for me and I`ve tried many high quality blades. I think you would have the same problem with this technique cutting curvy lines thru thicker stock.

Nice work. Kind of like a handheld jointer. You could just also make the initial cut with a router and a panel trimming bit.

Parabéns pela excelente ideia. Pergunta: por que as legendas em português?

Using a jigsaw which tons of people have... and a router which most people don't even know exists😅

와우 감사합니다. 자처럼대고자르는 나무두께와 직소바닦에있는 나무두께가 동일해야겠네요. 안그러면 약간사선으로잘릴듯하네요. 그런궁금증이생기네요^^ 아닌가? ㅋㅋ 잘몰라서요... 정말고민많이했는데, 이렇게 알려주시니 감사드립니다.^^

I love the bit where you need a table saw to get the straight cut on the guide you need for a tool thats not the best option, still have to clamp straight edge to your work, and will still probably get a wonky edge because it's a jig saw. 😂 Either cut with a jig saw and use the router to get the edge you want, or cut with the damn table saw

Nice idea... Never thought before... Thanks

Также сделаю. Спасибо автору за идею.

Amazing, I never realised you could get screw driver bits with handles on. LOL.

Great idea mate will deffo use it especially if I can find my plastic footplate, I can set it up and use it at will!

Great video! Thank you.

Dziękuję bardzo 😉

Very clever, thanks for the upload.

This is an excellent idea, thanks

Just clamp a straight edge to your workand use it as a guide. Works great for jig saws and circular saws.

Вы гений!👍👍👍

Mantap Pak Eko.... Terimakasih 🙏🙏🙏

This is brilliant. Thank you.

Brilliant idea! (and great for tight spaces..🍺

showwwww melhor de todos que vi ♥ amei ♥

와우 신기해요 영상 잘봤습니다 🙂

Отлично! Спасибо большое!

🥰🥰🥰, thanks for sharing!

тип изобрел параллельный упор! круто.

*TOP IDEA* 😍

Спасибо за ролик👍

Muy buena opcion cuando no tenemos sierra de cinta. Gracias!!

Very good my friend 👏🏽

Um trabalho profissional

Great idea, gonna try it next time

아주 유용한 지그가 되겠습니다^^

Good idea!!!

Congratulations!!!🙏🙏🙏

Nice ideas broo..👍👍👍

무척 유용할듯 합니다. 가끔씩 끝까지 다 안자르고 중간까지만 자르는 컷이 종종 필요한데, 테이블쏘나 원형톱은 일자로 깨끗하게 잘리지만, 중간까지만 자르는거는 원형자국을 남겨서 문제죠. 이럴때 직쏘가 가장 적절한데 직선을 자르는게 힘들었네요. 좋은팁 감사합니다

can't see how this is better than running the jigsaw down the guide rail you attached with the clamps and not messing around with a bit of wood screwed to the jigsaw

Que maravilha! Gratidão 😃👏👏👏🤗.

Thanks you.

So good, thanks a lot🔥🔥🔥

So all I need is a table saw to make a tool to do what a table saw can do.
