Jigsaw table

Decided to make a jigsaw table which is basically a upside down jigsaw with the blade poking up through the top of a box.

Not much planning beforehand so to get started let’s route out the top for a insert.

We've made a start…

The box is about err…this big.

Routing done and cut a MDF insert.

That will be fine.

Most of my tools are from ALDI and their supplier for this sort of stuff is Einhell. Check them out and compare to Bunnings and Masters, for me Einhell comes out on top.

A bit of sanding, mark out, drill holes and we are ready to mount the ALDI Taurus jigsaw that I bought for this project marked down to $25 bucks.

The jigsaw is mounted, that bit of timber is to brace the jigsaw.

The jigsaw is secured with two pieces of ‘shaped’ timber. There’s that timber brace with a U-bolt clamping the handle along with a hole in the back that lines up with the saw dust extraction port.

Next stage of this project is to come with some sort of blade guide support.
