In this review, we will consider the simplest and most cost-effective design of a sawing machine with a working table, made on the basis of a household electric jigsaw. You can make this device with your own hands in just a few hours.
The main stages of work
The first step is to make the base of the sawing machine - a plywood sheet is suitable for this (you can also use chipboards of suitable sizes). Mark the surface of the table and drill four holes for threaded fasteners. Using bolts we fasten the sole of the jigsaw.
Next, it will be necessary to drill a through hole for the saw blade. Then we cut four legs - you can use ready-made wooden blocks or glue them from plywood. Well, then we grease the ends of the legs with glue and fasten them to the working surface with self-tapping screws (two screws will be enough for one leg).
At the next stage, we attach the sole of the jigsaw, and to it is the tool itself with a file. Next, with the help of a metal clamp with a fixing screw, we press the power button on the jigsaw. We set the table in the right place, after which you can proceed to sawing parts or blanks from wood.
To summarize
Of the advantages of this homemade product, it is worth noting the low cost - the design is assembled from the simplest materials that can always be found at hand. The disadvantage is the strong beating of the saw blade in the work process - curly cuts are undesirable, since it is highly likely that the file will break.
