In this video I am building an upgraded jigsaw guide track with an adjustable crosscut guide for long straight cuts and crosscuts. I combined my previous jigsaw builds into this one, creating an upgraded version of a jigsaw guide - • How To Make a Jigsaw G... , and jigsaw guide track • High Precision Jigsaw ... . The build lets you cut straight and precise cuts. For accuracy you can track your cuts using sight holes. The design of the guide also lets you clamp the jig to a bench and also fix the the (cut) piece while cutting. When building a crosscut guide there is a lot of precision needed to secure 90 degrees. Thus I created an adjustable crosscut guide that lets you make minor adjustments to make sure you cut at 90 degrees.

FMD, this is the third one of your 'make a straight cut jig' videos that i've watched, and in each one you use an already built straight cutting jig! HOW DO YOU BUILD A STRAIGHT CUT JIG WIHTOUT ALREADY HAVING A STRAIGHT CUT JIG???

Simple jig for diy beginner
That's great work I watch your vidoes from Iraq I like your work so much I want to learn this job Can you mention the measurements for each stage you do? You only mentioned the length of the loch 70 cm, and you didn't mention the rest Thanks alot With my best wishes
Hi, its really interesting but you do not show it cutting a mitre corner?
Very nice. Is that 1/2" or 3/4" plywood? And what size/thickness are those L-angles? I see they come in various sizes. Thanks.
@AllFlavorWorkshop

Hello, that would be a 1/2 plywood. I used a slightly wider angle as for the crosscut -1,5 x 1,5 cm thickness 2mm and for the guiding rails I used 1,2 x 1,2. But any would do. Thanks!
Tell me, what are the holes for? 7:33 Thanks!
Sir do you have tips for inclined cutting issue? Bcause my blade often bending. Or this jig already solve the problem?
@AllFlavorWorkshop
3 жыл бұрын
Hello D - thanks for the question. The jig does not solve the problem. It mainly lets you cut straight cuts along a line. But for the inclined cutting issue what helps is the blade itself and then how the blade is attached to the jigsaw (goes hand in hand with jigsaw quality). For straight cuts take a look at sturdier, thicker jigsaw blade - I have good experience with this one: www.amazon.de/-/cs/dp/B00141BC06/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=T308BF Also to avoid inclination cut slowly. Hope it helps 👍
If the base of the sled were made out of acrylic wouldn't that serve the purpose of the window holes better and prevent tear out?

Hello Jay, the one I am using in the video is a 13 cm long jigsaw blade for high precision cuts from Extol Craft. The cuts are really clean and nice. Very similar to the one in the link: www.amazon.com/Bosch-T308B-5-Piece-T-Shank-Blades/dp/B001GNC8ZU

what if the left side alignment and assembly were detachable. Then you could make different attachments for with the same sled.

what is the purpose of the indent on the right hand side?

If you mean the "lip" on the right side of the jigsaw then this one serves as clamping "space" for the piece that is cut. Or do you mean something else?

Hello Eugenio, the thickness of plywood is 0,9mm. You dont need a thick one for this guide. (On the other hand I wouldnt recommend anything less.) I am planning on releasing more detailed info on each of the project on a webpage - currently in progress ;) Thanks Eugenio! 👍
it is very nice video ... but if you put the size of all the wood you use it will be more good and obviously, because we don't know what size you are using

Thanks Mohammed for the comment. Good tip, I'd like to keep on adding measurements of the builds for all my videos.
serious question here, (not trying to be a smart ass) but if you are going to line up on a scribed line and cut it, why would you need anything more than just the jigsaw guide track??? what other purpose would this serve? I mean, as long as you made a 90 degree line with your pencil to begin with, you just cut along the line.... Just trying to think of a reason to build this instead of the jig saw guide track....
@AllFlavorWorkshop

I believe that would work too. With a simple guide track I sometimes had a problem that it was not easy to clamp it down (depending on the size of the wood). So I made a handle with this one. Also having a fixed 90 degree crosscut might not always come out easily. So I built this one. Once setup it is easy to operate.
All of these designs have one common flaw!! You cannot see wtf you are cutting! Leave a 1" gap in between aluminium rails so that you see the workpiece being cut!
