Using a jigsaw to cut pin blocks.

[William R. Monroe]

He, he,

Yes, I suppose I did at one time.  Perhaps I didn't clarify that answer.  Or, perhaps that answer simply wasn't well thought. I can't say.  I don't use one, however, another tech I know has and does.  He thinks it works just fine.  Probably does at some level.  I probably thought at the time that , "well, if you've got one, go for it and see what you think."  In hindsight, I'd say that I think I've not met a jigsaw that wouldn't be underpowered for this application.  My regret would be burning through a jig saw.

In the end, we want a well fitted block.  How we get there, we all have our chosen methods, each with its own set of trade-offs.  As Jeannie states, she prefers using a jig-saw.  Different strokes.

Best,
William R. Monroe

  Hmm,
  funny as I look back through my email I see that you are one of two people who suggested that this job could be dun with a jigsaw.  Don't get me wrong, your advice is vary valuable to me but...  Might I say a jigsaw don't seem like the way to go to me.  Just thought I would ask to see if anyone was operating successfully with this method.
