Want to fall in love with your jigsaw? Just flip it upside down.
OK. An inverted jigsaw is not quite that good. But it still is a great tool for people who want to make intricate cuts but don’t have a bandsaw nor a scrollsaw. A few people have asked for more info about my setup, so let’s take a closer look.

DeWalt DW317K jigsaw (amzn.to/2PauahJ): I have worked the heck out of this thing. It has handled continuous running four hours without problem. And that's with all sorts of dust and junk falling into the works from above. At 5.5 amps, it seems to have plenty of power. My only gripe is with the shoe. One side has an adjustable cutting angle, while the other lets you flip it around and lock in at 90 degrees. This feature should be nice; if you want to just make plain-ole square cuts, then you don't have to worry about adjusting the shoe angle or checking to make sure that it hasn't wandered away on you. But the 90-degree-cut side of my shoe is actually more like 94 degrees, making it unusable. I haven't been able to fix it, either. Instead, I just leave it on the adjustable side. That being said, the proven reliability of the tool keeps me happy. No magic smoke yet!
Toggle clamps (amzn.to/2wgwxbn): These vertical toggle clamps feature 200 pounds of clamping pressure. This should be more than enough strength for holding the jigsaw in place, even when cutting grippy stuff like sheet steel. These are untested on vibranium; please let me know how it goes if you get the chance.
Spade bits (amzn.to/2TUmhAF): It's nice to have a set of these around for quickly cutting big holes. You can use these either for rough work or for when you have to plunge the jigsaw blade into a surface for an inside cut.
Workmate (amzn.to/2E3DDpX): If a bench vise and a sawhorse had a baby, it'd be a workmate. This handy tool features a contracting surface that both clamps and supports your work. And when you're not using it, you can fold it up and tuck it in a corner. Mine is some cheap brand that my wife got me for Christmas one year. While it's falling apart, it still works fine. This Black and Decker one looks similar. Hopefully it has more robust clamping hardware than mine, but even if it doesn't, the price is right.

I consider myself a bit of a McGyver and am generally able to think outside the box to make something work, but I could not wrap my head around how I was going to do this without all the OTHER tools needed to make an A-Team inverted jigsaw table. Now I can thanks to your simple yet thorough video and it turns out that I should have been thinking "inside the box" all along ;)

@AndrewReuter Год назад

😆 Same here, I can totally relate on the intimidation factor of some of the jigsaw table builds out there! Awesome to hear this feedback. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your future projects!

Took me way too long to reply here, but I remember this from one year ago, so I just wanted to say: Moments like those are awesome. I can totally relate to that feeling of, "Well how the heck did things line up in THAT way?" And it's crazy to be sort of on the "delivery end" of one! Total coincidence? Higher power? World is a simulation? I don't think we need to know the answer for it still to be amazing though. Take care!

@theopiner402 5 лет назад

Perhaps I will give this a go, I have been wishing I still had my bandsaw. Although, a jigsaw doesn’t have the same depth of cut that most bandsaws have. Yet, it would be free seeing as how I already have a jigsaw and some scrap wood! Can’t beat the price of free.

@AndrewReuter 5 лет назад

Sorry to hear you don’t have your bandsaw anymore. The bandsaw definitely beats the inverted jigsaw overall, but from a space vs. price vs. capability perspective... Man, the inverted jigsaw can just do so much. Hard not to be impressed, even after you have been sitting there being jiggled to death. 😆

Jeez. Just when I had an excuse for everything. Just kidding...kinda. I'm so relieved that I can "just flip my jigsaw upside down and get to work" because I've been wondering how I could make those cuts while remaining true to my primary spiritual principle of procrastination. Doing it this way and putting the rest off til later satisfies it all. Kinda genius. Mr. Reuter, if I may be so bold, I believe this could be "Wood and the Art of the Disappearing Gumption Trap"...just sayin. Though my current standards are somewhere between extremely low and completely fictional, and while it's not the most original thing I've ever come up with, it sounds pretty good to me at the moment. Begrudgingly subscribed.

@Sousafolle 2 года назад

If it happens that you use a Dewalt saw. Look carefully at your jigsaw shoe, there is two threaded holes on it. The problem is that they are not usable as is because the shoe surface block any access to them. I drilled small holes in the shoe to enable to attach it under the "table" using only two screws and those fancy threaded holes. I also drilled a hole in the table to access the screw that adjust the angle of the shoe. Bingo! And instead of building a box, I just attached a chunky piece of 4x4 under the table and hold it securely in a bench vise.

or just buy a band/scroll saw lol. I get it. Having to buy so many saws/ tools is expensive and needs space. We need to invent tools that combine most saws/tools into ONE interchangeable unit.

@davnunn1 7 дней назад

Thanks for this video. I went out and made a jig for my Bosch jigsaw. However I found it very scary to use. The wood kept binding and chattering on the upstroke and the blade deflected badly on curves cutting 1/4in ply. Any ideas why I’m hearing such poor results or what I could try to do to fix it?

@diymatt 5 лет назад

I tried the inverted jigsaw thing one time. Skeeved me out too much. 🤔 The box and the zero clearance certainly do seem to make things less sketchy.

@AndrewReuter 5 лет назад

Oh yeah, the most positive way to describe using one of these is “coarse.” A possibly more accurate term would be “nasty.” It’s like running a jackhammer. I’ll also say that my fingers have literally hit the moving blade before... and come out fine. Doesn’t seem possible. Could be that you really need to be pressing on the blade to cut anything, versus something like a bandsaw, which features a much thinner, sharper blade that will cut you instantly. Very tempted to do some hot dog testing...

@grittsy 4 года назад

Great vid. Sort of sorry it came to an end. I was getting into it all. I actually have been looking for a way to cut out an internal 90 degree internal square corner. Solid timber. ( Basically an oblong inside a 20mm plank) I was hoping one of the local joinery firms in town would be able to do this with CNC machine but alas they either had trouble securing a smaller bit of wood or their drill bits still left a rounded bit in the corner. I thought modern CNC machines were able to angle the router bits to chew out the corners neatly. Anyway I have used a circular saw and biscuit machine for the ends and ten sharp Japanese saw to cut out corners. A bit fiddley. I was warned against jigsaws because they can wander a bit. Maybe upside down would be better. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

@AndrewReuter 4 года назад

Thank you! Sounds like a challenge you have there! If it's still useful, my suggestion would be that it sounds to me like a jigsaw could do that, but you'd want to stay back form the line and then chisel/file/sand to the line later. Might be easier to make a template of the hole you want to cut and router it out with a flush trim bit. That's essentially the same thing as the CNC, where you'd have to go back and clean up the corners with a chisel, but at least you wouldn't have to pay someone else to do it... Good luck, in any case. Let me know how it goes/went!

@grittsy 4 года назад

Very cool video. I like "Yep, reading from the script" shot :D How did I deserve mentioning at the end? :D Thanks!

@AndrewReuter 5 лет назад

Thanks! I thanked you at the end because I used your shots a couple of times, specifically “pointing the camera at a monitor” and “filming a book from above.” Mine aren’t as well executed at this point, but I’m still happy with them! My tendency previously was to say: “Ugh. How am I going to record my screen with a screen recording program and still get a good shot? I don’t even know what program to use, much less codecs, and how to make it not look out of place when next to softer DSLR footage.” The grittier “just point your camera at it” approach is faster and cooler, in my opinion.

@AndrewReuter 2 года назад

Thank you! Yeah, I’m guessing rotary would be better for super intricate cuts. Wouldn’t work as well as jigsaw for straight cuts. Haven’t worked with HDPE much but I suspect there’d be a way to work with both tools there while keeping things cool enough to avoid melting. Slow and patient would hopefully help.

@AndrewReuter 4 года назад

Thank you! One option is to take some sort of clamp and squeeze the trigger in the on position. Plain old spring clamps will sometimes fit, but can be a pain to put on and take off. Irwin squeeze clamps work, if they’re small enough to fit inside the box. I use a locking round-jawed clamp for my portable bandsaw, though it might be too big for this space. Or you can just used a zip tie if you are going to leave the jigsaw in the jig for a while. But then you need to plug it into a power strip with an on/off button or something like that so you can still easily shut the saw off in case of an emergency. Good luck! Feel free to let me know what you chose!
