A lot of people think that they need a lot of big, expensive stationary tools for woodworking. If you don’t have a lot of space or money, a jigsaw is an amazing tool that can make almost all the cuts you need.

Is there a backstory to all of his “Micro Jig” intros?
Thank you so much. I learned so much. I am going to buy a ‘jig saw’ with T-Shank blades. Very informative!!!
Thanks for posting this very clear video, I enjoyed watching it!
I got one ot these to I just need to slow down.but I love it.
i love technology, and you sir.. like a walking manual.
I have a Makita jig saw. It always cuts in a non vertical cut ie at an angle, which is very frustrating. Why is this?
Thanks
Can I use the jig saw to cut a wood plank or wood top in half to make a shelf?
Can’t cut really thick lumber?
Bosch’s 10″ jig saw blade might disagree with you on that.
Also 6″ or so jigsaw blades are common.
ok I change my mind, I won’t sell my jigsaw just because I’m a beginner.
OMG HELP THERES A…Microjig maker of the grrr-ripper
What’s better for beginners codless or cord drill?
This is not the tool to go cheap on . Buy the best one you can afford and you will be glad you did .
CONVINCED!!!! I just got a set to start DIY/crafting consisting of a drill, reciprocating, circular saw, and work light. Now I wish I’d gotten a jigsaw!!!! Guess what I’ll be asking for for my birthday!!!!! Thank you so much!
Hello. I watch this in May of 2018. I already have my first jigsaw, and realize that my jigsaw uses the U-Shank Blades. Is it possible (and safe of course) for me to use the T-Shank Blades on my jigsaw? Thanks in advance. And thank you for this video.
Does DeWalt make the best cordless jigsaw? I’m thinking of getting one.
When a blade cuts on the upstroke it holds the saw firmly against the work surface allowing you to relax a litle more while cutting. That´s what I think anyway
Bosch is the best!
left of the line…right of the line…
the line…. practice!
Thanks Steve…
Steve: What’s your favorite jigsaw?
All done more easily and cleanly with a router, no?
Did you know The Jigsaw is famous for being the name taken by a villain
I’m sorry sir, but I’ve NEVER had a blade fall out of my U-Shape blade jigsaw. Other than that, great tips!
I personally thank you for this video. I have purchased one Jigsaw AGNI 570Watt Indian. When i was cutting 1.5 inch wood in stratght line it stops at interval of 4″ with blade running, i have to turn on/off the switch then only it cuts, orbital is ON, speed is 6. The wood is wet, is that the reason? And is the wattage ok?
That was very informative. Thank you.
You cut on the upward stroke to avoid the saw needing downward force to counter act the teeth gribbing the saw upwards. Isn’t that pretty logical?
can i cut 3/4″ plywood with a jigsaw? straight cut
I’m starting to like these… microjig maker of the grrr-ripper work safer work smarter… commercials
good clear informative vid…….friend from high schools son signed with RAIDERS about 2 months ago,was with DALLAS
As a newby, this vid was tremendous. Thanks.
great learning tip thank…steve.
Skill saw is the one saw to rule them
All
och dang! I’ve just bought u-shape jigsaw ;/
Thank you!
i know this is an old video, but i’m going to ask: is there a reason why the blade bends so quickly? i’ve looked and there’s no blade calibration feature on my jigsaw. i wonder if it’s the blade roller guide. is this a possibility?
Good presentation
I wish I knew how to do this stuff, I wouldn’t even know where to begin or what tool to buy, trying to just make a simple name stencil out of wood for my girlfriend and her mom’s garden
lets all get jiggy with it
Thank you SIr
It can be use in Jigsaw movie
…WOW!!! OKAY…
Will this work for cardboard projects?
i even brush my teeth with my jigsaw XD what i mean is i use if for so many things its amazing. thanks for the video
What a great channel!!!
You forgot to mention a router
Nice tips. Go raiders
I must have a crappy jigsaw. If I try to cut faster than 1 cm per hour, it attempts to launch itself through the roof.
great video, exactly what i was looking for as someone who’s interested in getting into woodworking but doesn’t know the first thing about it .
