Step 6Angled Blade
It took one of my co-workers a long time to explain why this is so brilliant.
Finally I understood. Ordinarily a bandsaw blade is sideways and if you try to crosscut a long piece it hits the frame of the saw. A jigsaw has the blade fore-and-aft and you can't rip anything that's long.
With the blade at an angle (theta Z) like this, you can rip or crosscut materials of any length.

Any length true, but width is limited. Seems there is always a tradeoff.
