Jigsaw blades

Bosch Bi-metal, 10 TPI is about as good as you can get, but don't expct it to give a "clean" cut unless you are working with 13 ply Birch.

Cut proud and clean up with a router if you truly need a clean edge in ply.

Here's what I found:

• The Bosch T101AO (20 tpi) produced a very clean straight cuts. Not quite as clean as a router, of course. But I was pretty impressed with this saw cut.

However, it was a disaster on some (gentle) curves.

• I switched to the T119BO for the curves and they got the job done but with a fair bit of tearing that needed to be cleaned up.

Coincidentally, I recently saw an article or tip that suggested making a zero clearance jigsaw plate. Sorry I cannot recall where or when but if you Google it I'm reasonably certain you'll come up with something. Good luck.

ROY!

They can be bought for less than a buck each for Bosch jigsaws.
