Bora 542009 Jigsaw Guide

Product Information

Some time back I built a crosscut guide for a jigsaw which is, as the name suggests, particularly suitable for crosscuts and short straight cuts.

The information below explains how to rout Rigips and how to then fold and bond the plasterboard panels with glue. A tiny space will be created that will allow for the jigsaw to nicely fit the guide rail and slide easier. Using the cover will let the jigsaw slide easier in the track with less effort when pushing (tracks for this jigsaw guide are made out of planned spruce wood).

Position the jigsaw guide track along the marked line, making adjustments with the help of the sight holes for precision.

This guide rail provides precise guidance, rails are exactly straight, even when the rail is extended, due to self-aligning connecting piece. Alternatively, a dual-cut blade, equipped with teeth in both directions, can further reduce burring on both sides, ensuring improved cutting results.It is mainly the combination of the jigsaw guide rail and the appropriate blade that will get you the best result. Furthermore, a Festool portable circular saw is used in conjunction with the cross cutting guide rail system to cut out the stair stringers.

THE DEWALT 300mm Dual Port Ripping Fence has been designed to be used with the DCS577 High Torque Circular Saw. Although without a stopper you can easily cut through the guide – keep that in mind while building the track guide.Additionally, you can use a jigsaw to cut out the main shape of the circular saw track, but it is not necessary. The Makita 39'' Plunge Saw Guide Rail (199140-0), when used with a Makita Plunge Circular Saw (SP6000) is a more portable option to a table saw for ripping sheet material. Adjust Speed and Pendulum Action: Set your jigsaw to an appropriate speed for the material you’re cutting.
