dwilbank Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hi.I'm looking to get my first sawtable, but maybe I'm looking wrong, for alas I'm not finding a single one that will do what I want.I want to get a good jigsaw which will do plunge cuts, (recommendations? Milwaukee Sawzall?) and I want it to be able to mount on the table, so that I can make precise and straight cuts with fences or guides attached to the table.The Rockwell Bladerunner does exactly 50% of what I want, but I want the jigsaw to be detachable so I can use it without the table as well.I keep reading about people doing this, but haven't found any pictures of their setup!Help?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 I don't have pictures, but I have seen people do this with their table saw. Usually the table saw expands, certain ones. I have seen people build a small table that will fit into the table saw and that way they can use their router or jigsaw and use the fence from the table saw. Not sure if I explained that clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
