Jigsaw to Recipro Powertoolhack! Max Destruction!

This is not a full tutorial to replicate the design, but the video and pictures can give you an idea to build your own version.

Step 1: Watch the Video

In the video a lot is explained. This video was to show you what is possible when you think around a bit. It is not an instructional video to make a perfect repica but to give you an idea. With this "idea" you can make your own recipro if you like.

so, enjoy the video.

Step 2: What It's Made Of

So this was a build with small scrap stuff laying around.

-2 X 608ZZ bearings to guide the shaft.

-a U alu profile so there will be less friction from the shaft.

-some rest stainless sheet of 2mm. for the foot and the connection to the jigsaw.

-a leftover alu L strut for the clamps.

-some bolts and nut and some screws.

-a recipro blade for a dewalt or makita.

-some leftover wood.

fist i check how big it needs to be. then i cut some wooden block until i have the rough size.

Then i mark how big the shaft needs to be and where to position the bearings.

i keep the block rough for as long the mechanics needs to be finetuned in order to work.

as soon as the mechanical movement works fine, i screw down the blocks to eachother and grind them to shape with my anglegrinder.use your imagination for a cool design.

after that you can paint it for a better look.

like i said, this is an idea, not a complete worked out guide. for those who can and will, fee free to make your own by reusing this idea on your own jigsaw.
