It was one of the first tools I bought for the workshop and it is a great help for any woodworking project.Cut on both sides to get best finish when ripping or cutting. Ideal for smaller work areas. Compatible with router attachments. Replaceable rubber edge, high and low friction strips. The jigsaw guide rail we are making is made from plywood and spruce wood. Other materials such as MDF or HDF can be used as well. It lets you make cuts up to around 500 mm in length, depending on your jigsaw’s type and size.
Secure with Masking Tape: Before cutting, apply masking tape (painter’s tape) along the cut line. This technique helps hold the wood fibers in place, reducing splintering and tear-out, resulting in a smoother and cleaner cut. Makita guide rail system offers a compatibility with a wide variety of tools from circular saws, to routers, jig saws, and more.So, while jigsaws are versatile tools, having a straight-cut guide on hand can enhance your ability to create accurate straight cuts for your woodworking projects. Instead, invest the money and buy yourself a good blade for the circular saw that will help you make clean and accurate cuts. Totally worth it!
