If you are building a workshop and considering getting a tool for it, I would recommend getting a jigsaw as one of the first tools (after a drill). You can easily make straight cuts or curves and depending on the blade, you can cut through different materials, such as wood, plastic, ceramic, or even metal.A circular saw is one of the very basic tools every workshop should have. It is one of the most common beginner power saws and a great tool to use when you are starting in the craft. Due to its versatility, in many cases it can replace a table saw if used correctly. The jigsaw guide rail we are making is made from plywood and spruce wood. Other materials such as MDF or HDF can be used as well. It lets you make cuts up to around 500 mm in length, depending on your jigsaw’s type and size. NOTE: It can be problematic to make a straight 90-degree angle cut with a jigsaw. These tips will help you not to end up with a skewed cut:

Transform select routers when connected to the Guide Rail for dadoing, mortising, and trimming applications for a precise and accurate experience.I was honestly surprised at how nice long and straight cuts I was able to make with this jig.
