Check the video above to see it in action.
I decided to make my own wood cutting jigsaw, i did it for fun, has always i learn a little bit more in every new project.
STEP 1: The Beginning
I cuted and trimed an old dvd drive interior metal support to be the blade suport, did the same for the wood parts, cut and trim.
STEP 2: The "mechanism"
I wanted to have a stedy blade, because of that i created this mechanism to allow full movement up and down and no movements for the sides
STEP 3: The "pullys"
After the final measurements cut and lock the metal rod that will conect to the second pulley from the motor with a rubber band
STEP 4: First Test
I decided to change the pulley system, i replaced the two pulleys to have a smoother transmission
STEP 5: The Handle
Closing the motor compartment, assemble the module case and putting the handle together
STEP 6: Painting and Switch
Painted black for the handle and apply wood vernice and clear coat, connect the switch that will control the motor
STEP 7: Almost Done
Connect the module and the switch, close all the compartments
STEP 8: Blade Mount
Assemble the blade using two screws with nut and is ready to test
STEP 9: It Works !
The cut is very straight, good for small pieces.
