  • I have a Hychika branded thing which is near identical but slightly cheaper and comes with a soft case, which is a bit more flat-friendly than the hard plastic one.

    It cuts lovely straight edges. I never had any luck keeping a jigsaw blade from wandering, even with the base plate firmly against a guide.

  • Keeping the jigsaw blade in line is easier if it's a Festool jigsaw :)

    Obviously blade choice can help but it can still be a problem especially if the material is thick.

    Hand saw and finish with a plane worked for 100's of years.

  • So did slavery and votes for land owning men. Get something that plugs in! Otherwise half-way through cut number one you’ll wish you had.

  • Make sure the jigsaw has the oscillation set to 0 as well for those clean and straight cuts.
