Build a saw table for a jigsaw yourself

Working properly with a jigsaw is often not that easy. Sometimes the workpiece wobbles here, sometimes the workpiece slips there - if you are tired of this way of working, why not build yourself a saw table.

What you need:

  • 6 x steel tubes
  • 1 x U-iron
  • 3 x flat iron
  • 1 x welding machine
  • 1 x Small Flex
  • 1 x steel bracket
  • 1 x grinding wheel

Cut the saw table to size

You are building a saw table out of steel.

  1. Take a 20 cm wide U-iron and cut it to a length of 200 cm. The material thickness is 2 cm and the web height measured on the outside is 10 cm. This U-iron serves as a support for your workpieces.
  2. Next, cut three flat irons for your saw table. The flat irons have a material thickness of 3 cm and are 50 cm long and 10 cm wide. The legs are then attached to this flat iron from the underside and the U-iron from the top.
  3. Now cut the legs for your saw table. To do this, cut six tubes with a diameter of 5 cm and a material thickness of 3 mm to a length of 120 cm. These tubes are beveled a little to ensure that the legs are in the best possible position.
  4. When you have cut all of these pieces, you should free all of the cut edges from the grade. Take a small flex with a sanding disc and pull it briefly over all the edges.

Build the work surface

  1. Take your U-iron and flex about 2 mm of material at both end points. You do this over a width of 10 cm. When you're done at the ends, do the same thing again exactly in the middle of the U-iron.
  2. Next, take your flat iron and attach it to your U-iron with small spot welds. The flat irons are spotted at the ground points in such a way that the flat irons protrude equally on both sides of the U-iron.
  3. After you have brought the flat iron into an angle to the U-iron, you can attach the six legs. The legs are also spot-welded again at one end of the flat iron. When attaching the legs to your saw table, make sure that the legs are correctly rotated.
  4. The bevels must be attached to the flat iron so that the legs run away from the U-iron at a slight angle. When the legs are spot-welded, you can weld the entire saw table.

When your saw table is fully assembled, you should have it galvanized.
