I am trying to cut some toekicks out of 5/8" melamine with a jigsaw. I
tried
the cutting guide that came with it and I keep the guide tight and saw
foot
nice and flat but the cut will not follow my straight line made with a
speed
square. I also tried clamping the speed square to the work and using it as
a
guide for the saw without the guide, keeping the saw's foot tight to the
square and still the blade wanders off course. It is a brand new craftman
top of the line and new bosch blades meant for "fine cutting in wood,
plywood and plastics". Thanks for any tips.


Mark, if you go w/ a Bosch jigsaw, do yourself a favor and get the
Progressor
blades. They make all the difference in how a Bosch jigsaw handles
"problem"
materials.
