I'm trying to cut a blockwood kitchen worksurface using a jigsaw and 3" blade.
Despite clampng a batten as a guiderail I'm finding it's not cutting straight along the rail, but is consistently veering off to the left of the line (towards the guiderail).
If I try and pressure the saw over to the right to get back on line, what happens is that the jigsaw blade moves out of vertical, and although the top of the cut stays near the line, the cut itself is now slanted.
Any ideas? ? I suspect I'm going to be told I should have bought a circular saw instead, but are there any tricks for making the thing cut along a straight line?
