How is keeping a jig saw ready and close by not the epitome of being prepared to be lazy? I prefer to hand saw most of the time but when feeling lazy, grab the jigsaw..

Guest Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 i use whatever is close at hand. tracksaw, jig saw, hand saw. I have one of those newer stanley carpenter/panel saws with the hardened tips and they get through a cross cut fairly quickly If I am going to buy lumber and don't have my wife's van, I will take my bosch cordless circ saw. I know the guys at the yard can cut it, but I am a control freak and like to determine where the cut will go and not be rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rough cut at the lumberyard is VERY rough, with lots of tearout. Cordless circular saw to the rescue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryMcK Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hand saw mainly. I will occasionally use a jigsaw. Sheet goods are converted with my tracksaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdbuilder Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Yes. As long as there is reasonable contact with the fence and the table in the blade area, not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Nope! Replace your avitar or whatever it's called with a current pic and the jury will decide. And I'll be darned if I will get into a debate as to which GUY is the best looking. I'm more of a clevage kind of guy. Except for that one redhead in Amana! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
