I made a jigsaw cutting station that works as a jigsaw cutting guide as well as a jigsaw crosscut jig. The build is solid, it doesn’t cost much and you can use it for a lot of workshop projects. The jigsaw cutting station lets you cut straight cuts up to 65cm, crosscuts, and cuts at an arbitrary angle depending on how you adjust the guide rail. The jigsaw cutting guide is removable and you can use it without the cutting station – great for short and precise cuts. If needed you can easily mount it back on the jigsaw cutting station. You will need only a few things to build this DIY workshop tool – plywood, aluminum angles, bolts, nuts, T-nuts, and a jigsaw. This homemade workshop tool is simple to make and it will help you with many projects. Watch the entire video for a step-by-step guide on how to make a jigsaw cutting station and a jigsaw cutting guide.

HOW TO MAKE A JIGSAW CUTTING STATION | DIY JIGSAW GUIDE CUTTING STATION

Easy Jigsaw Cutting Station For Your Workshop

I started out by building the jigsaw guide – cut the plywood and the aluminum angles for the jig. Attached those to the plywood base using double-sided tape, bolts, and nuts. After that, I drilled several sight holes in the base and after that, I cut the slot in the jigsaw base (Note: cut the slot after having the sight holes ready).
For the jigsaw cutting station, I cut the baseboard and elevated it with timber to make space for the jigsaw blade. I measured the position of the slot and attached the jigsaw cutting guide to the jigsaw station using T-nuts, threaded rods, and wing nuts. I cut out the slot in the board using the jigsaw guide and marked several lines on the base and attached a guide rail on one of those for 90 degrees crosscuts. Additionally, I mounted a removable flippable aluminum rail with a wing nut as a guide to be able to cut at an arbitrary angle. This jigsaw cutting station is a great homemade workshop tool.

    thanks for detailed info for measurements



  2. Giampaolo Debole on June 26, 2022 at 9:34 pm

    Excellent work! Where can I get the plans for making such an amazing cutting station?



  3. Sue Camilleri on June 26, 2022 at 9:35 pm

    Hi I made one but unfortunately after it was nearly ready I made the cut and the jigsaw didn’t make it straight so I had to open the cut but now I can’t see where is the actual mark do you have any suggestions instead of I do another one just to see where is the mark ..
    Thanks



  4. Mauro Vendas on June 26, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    Very nice! By the way, the video shows the design for someone who is left-handed, right?



  5. Dejan Savić on June 26, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    Perfect! Great design! Tomorrow I have to do this the same! Thanks buddy!



  6. Chau Nguyen on June 26, 2022 at 9:44 pm

    It’s great one. If you have pre-made, I would buy one. How much it’s cost? How long I have to wait? Or you print me one and where to order materials? My email is anthonynguyen1944@gmail.com. Please reply me as soon as you could. Thanks



  7. Milene on June 26, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Melhor gabarito para serra tico tico .Parabéns, ficou maravilhoso. 👏👏👏



  8. DanCopy on June 26, 2022 at 9:45 pm

    Very good! Thanks for sharing. And this square, where can I get it; could you write your specs? I live in Brazil; Thanks



  9. Weldejaison Costa on June 26, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    Very good



  10. peter spence on June 26, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    Brilliant 🤩



  11. William Bock on June 26, 2022 at 9:48 pm

    I’d love to make one since my jigsaw is the only powered saw I have but I don’t know how I’d make precise enough cuts without a jigsaw cutting station. Maybe a hand pull saw or Japanese saw would work. I need one anyway. 🤔



  12. Mechel Tan on June 26, 2022 at 9:50 pm

  13. Adam Hull on June 26, 2022 at 9:51 pm

    Awesome video! I’m just getting into wood working and as of now only have a miter saw and a jigsaw. Do you think there is a max length for one of these tracks? Like if it were longer would it run the risk of being less precise? I’d like to build one of these to rip longer sheets of plywood if possible, up to maybe 3 or 4 feet.



  14. Amplitude Diversa on June 26, 2022 at 9:52 pm

    okay, it’s a shame it doesn’t work!
    When cutting the wood, the blade simply deviates from the rail, it’s not possible!



  15. Zafar Durrani on June 26, 2022 at 9:54 pm

    I like your efforts and wonderful hard work also I like this amazing video because the plan is also available in the
    description, I am not a professional woodworker but I am very fond of woodworking, Thank you for providing the best knowledge and information,
    My all the best wishes are with you,
    Zafar from Quetta Pakistan



  16. master cell on June 26, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    bien, bien



  17. Graham Bourne on June 26, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    For someone like me who couldn’t cut a straight line even if my life depended on it, this Jig will solve a lot of problems. Great video & thank you very much. Graham



  18. Sebastiao Jose De Brito Constant on June 26, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    Perfeito



  19. Роман Як on June 26, 2022 at 9:57 pm

    непонятно как отпилить не от балды,а от размеченной карандашом,ведь ничего не видно



  20. Pablo Alvarez on June 26, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Muy bueno el video



  21. Juan Ardiles Gonzalez on June 26, 2022 at 9:58 pm

    Muy buena la idea,pero al Mister,le falto poner muchas medidas,largo,diametro de la broca foster,etc.



  22. We are not livestock on June 26, 2022 at 10:00 pm

    I guess those holes allow to easily remove the jigsaw without scratching the trench ?



  23. Kocco Carrasco on June 26, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻



  24. Mr. FiXiT on June 26, 2022 at 10:02 pm

    Very clean



  29. It’s Ali on June 26, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    something that makes your works to be unique here(into the word of online and social woodworkers) is that your work is very clean and simple to understand,no music, no noise, just sound of what you doing. thank you for the time you spend to create this video, Im ali, from IRAN..



  30. Sem medo da perereca (a vida sem pula-pula) on June 26, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    It’s so easy to do!



  31. Armin Indrapura on June 26, 2022 at 10:05 pm

    Genius



  33. Wilbury Castle Railway on June 26, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    Well I’m having a binge watch of your vids puts all the tips channels to shame , brilliant 😎👌🇬🇧



  34. declan wilson on June 26, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    Hi, really good video, simple but very effective. One question, why did you use bolts to secure the guide rails and not just use screws – is this just personal choice? Thank you.



  35. Tony Cee on June 26, 2022 at 10:08 pm

    lik ed very good good luck



  36. jose roberto santana velasquez on June 26, 2022 at 10:08 pm

    soy nuevo me gustarian las medidas o planos para empezar

    perfect



  38. Sérgio Oliveira on June 26, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Cara, você é muito bom. É uma grande inspiração. Grande abraço e muito sucesso!



  39. Lagunenkov Piter on June 26, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    Идея отличная! Однако гайки в дерево поставил не с той стороны, надо ставить снизу. При затягивании они просто вылезут.



  40. Jairo Rocha de Oliveira on June 26, 2022 at 10:14 pm

    parabéns muito bom valeu ….apreendi mais uma ….



  41. Sinnersslayer on June 26, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    all of those stations are cool and stuff, but why not use just thick steel L profiles
    this plywood has like 15mm thickness?
    it’s 15mm less of the blade length when you want to cut some thicker wood



  42. Alfredo Vianna on June 26, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Muito bom parabéns pelo trabalho



  43. GALLERY Carnell on June 26, 2022 at 10:16 pm

    Thanks, I am new to woodwork and love watching. I will give a go.. ahahah

  45. Mark Bennett on June 26, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    I think I’ll have a go at making this.. I really, really need to get straight cuts.. No more rubbish cuts..

    Small point, you would love a little Dremel tool with cutting disc for all that small, fine metal cuts…



  46. Tsutomu Nakao on June 26, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    埋め込みナットは下面からが正解だと感じました。 上からでは締め込んだ時に浮いてくると思われます。



  47. Amplitude Diversa on June 26, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    Boa, parabéns! Já estou quase a concluir a minha baseada no seu projeto. Abraço.



  48. Chuck Redd on June 26, 2022 at 10:29 pm

    I use the "single track shelving brackets" for my guides. They are light weight, drilled for screws, low profile. Lowes price $ 8.00 for a 72" bracket.



  49. Ana Lúcia Cunha on June 26, 2022 at 10:30 pm

    Awesome
