Alchool Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Is it possible to cut out a guitar using a jig saw? I remember that in some part of his book Melvyn Hiscock says that he used a jig saw because he didn't have a band saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 yes it is just leave a little meat around the edges to sand down as a jigsaw doesn't cut the edges perfectly square(the blade leans a little around corners) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchool Posted April 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 So I don't have to spend a fortune to buy a band saw! My uncle got a jig saw, it could be good (at least for now). But can it cut through hardwood? I'm going to use maple for the neck of my guitar, and it seems very strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
