    What about a zero clearance plate for the jigsaw.



  2. Stephen Wiles on February 13, 2022 at 10:36 pm

    Lovely and clear in an informal way.

    Well explained. Tips are extremely useful, at least I learned them for the first time. So thank you for that. I wish you had given some idea or tips on how to fix the work surface on a table while using a jigsaw as the blade would be protruding below the work surface while running.

    Great video. Really useful advice. Thanks for uploading.



  5. Janet Cook on February 13, 2022 at 10:37 pm

    Great tips and have now convinced me to get this.



  6. Kay Em on February 13, 2022 at 10:39 pm

    The blade often comes off during cutting.

    Thank you! I have an old skilsaw, I took it apart and cleaned it up, but it sounds rough. I was afraid to use it.

  22. BRO. ARCHIE TV on February 13, 2022 at 11:04 pm

    THANKS SIR



  23. Tony Latimer on February 13, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    Thanks Wally. A useful guide. You talked about speed in respect of feed speed. How about the relationship of feed speed to saw speed and different materials? I’ve had a cheap jig saw for years but never really had any regard for it because it wanders around with a mind of its own. I’ve come back to it, wondering whether it’s just my lack of knowledge, to give it a second chance!



  24. Jamie Andrick on February 13, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    I only buy dual cut blades now .. great video!



  25. KLLEE 477 on February 13, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Great tips for using this tool. I learned a couple of useful things today watching your video. Thanks a lot!



  26. sharon bender on February 13, 2022 at 11:08 pm

    Just purchased a jigsaw & found your video extremely helpful. I am not tool-handy so simply watching you talk about & cut with your jigsaw was comforting, it helps me to know what to expect when I use mine for the 1st time. AND love the tips you gave!!! Thank You!!!



  27. Chloe Dao on February 13, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    Thank you so much, so helpful!



  28. Marilyn Villanueva on February 13, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Thanks for your video I’m a beginner and it will help me

    How do I get the maple syrup out of the maple



  32. KISHORILAL KISHOREDA on February 13, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Thank you, it was a great tutorial



  33. Angelica B on February 13, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Lovely video. I am making a bathtub deck myself for the first time because i basically got a botched job done. I bought a jigsaw and have never used one. This was so helpful i just made my first couple of cuts and am amazed on how accurate your advice is. Thank you !



  34. Vicky Good on February 13, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    Thanks so much this is very helpful. I have the same jigsaw and i work with maple like the one you used. I’m struggling with cutting curves, similar to you example, without the jigsaw over heating on me. What blade and speed would you recommend?



  35. Mark Johnson on February 13, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    Good vid, thanks. The first part is for extreme beginners and reasonably useful to someone who has no idea what tools are about. Your tips on usage, especially pre-scoring and taping were ones I had not seen before and will be used extensively. On one downside, your intro music was WAY TOO LOUD, especially with the soft vocal video in the rest of the vid. All around, I appreciated what you had to say. Thanks again.



  36. D. Jinerson on February 13, 2022 at 11:20 pm

    Got a nice Milwaukee fuel jigsaw in a Milwaukee fuel kit I bought…. the few times I’ve used I always felt my circular saw, or table saw do a much better job…I guess I need to start making some curves. Love your video, and you’ve encouraged me to replace the dust on my jigsaw with saw dust 👍



  37. Nelson Ortas on February 13, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    Thx Wally….



  38. steve wakeham on February 13, 2022 at 11:23 pm

    Here’s a tip . Use a barrel grip and put the shoe of the saw on the bottom of whatever you are cutting
    with the blade pointing up . You will see the lines easily, will not get tear out " if using an upstroke blade" will not
    mar the piece in anyway. It takes a little getting used to , but have been doing this for 40 plus years.
    p.s. will work with a top handle grip , but much more control on a barrel grip type jigsaw. Have a nice day.



  39. TheSolderingGuy007 on February 13, 2022 at 11:25 pm

    Great video! question: for mixing the tape and score tips, do you tape and then score or score and then tape over ?



  40. George Costanza on February 13, 2022 at 11:26 pm

    Thanks for sharing, great tips👍Was hoping you would have touched on orbital settings… perhaps in another video?
    Anyways, I just picked up a Ryobi P5231 for myself and I’m loving it!



  41. Jay Gibbons on February 13, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Very well done. Thank you.



  42. dres wolfpack on February 13, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Thanks



  43. Mary Tallerico on February 13, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    When I use my jigsaw it starts to shake and I have to stop and start what am I doing wrong?



  44. D B on February 13, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    Thanks!! Was trying to decide on buying a circular or jig, and I’m going to buy a jig. Seems safer and more variety of uses 🤠



  45. Kym Coetzee on February 13, 2022 at 11:30 pm

    How do you cut a straight line. Mine always goes skew.



  46. Travis Dukkovski on February 13, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    I hate it when people blast music louder than the rest of the audio… Thanks for waking up my wife…now i gotta go!~



  47. Angel Figueroa on February 13, 2022 at 11:31 pm

    Great advice,thank you so much



  48. KARTHIBANATHAN Sembuveerappan on February 13, 2022 at 11:34 pm

    Thanks



  49. K G on February 13, 2022 at 11:34 pm

    "Flesh cutting blades." Had me asking all kinds of questions.



  50. Dave S on February 13, 2022 at 11:34 pm

    Lots of great info on this video. I just added this jigsaw to my Ryobi collection. Question for you (or anyone else).
    I need to modify my front fiberglass door and sidelites (1 3/4") to accept the new door glass inserts for them. They already have inserts in them, just need to create a squared top instead of the current half round design, so not a lot of cutting needed. What blade would you suggest and what speed (guessing a 0 on the orbital switch?). Thanks for this great tutorial!
