could this work with a jigsaw?

Sure it would work fine as long as you get it good and tight since a jig saw vibrates so much.

This is not a clear "yes". A jigsaw blade may try to wander off line, especially if the tool is pushed. Generally a jigsaw blade is steered through the wood by the user, adjusting for any tendency of the blade to wander. But when the baseplate is guided, the only thing keeping the blade on line is the stiffness of the blade itself, and if it is at all twisted or crooked, you will not get a straight cut through the wood, and the blade will start to bind as it is bent further out of your intended line.

when using any cutting tool with a guide or fence the blade must be parallel to the cut to produce clean cuts and reduce the chance of kick back/ binding. Some jig saws have a base that tapers from front to back or an adjustable blade angle which means the blade will not be cut parallel to the base edge or cut line and this will be a problem......if you ensure the jig saw base and blade are parallel with each other and with the cut line this will work

Definitely. Just clamp or secure your stock properly first. Drill a starter hole of needed and then go to work. I used it with a router and a circular saw.

If its the same set-up as inserting the blade on a jig saw it should work. According to the description on Amazon: Tool-free blade changes Accepts standard jig saw blades for added convenience

Yes it can be used with the older style jig saw blades as well as the newer "T" type blade.

Don't know: never tried, as I have a separate chop saw. If I were thinking about it, I'd check with DeWalt, or at least look at rotational speed; I'd be concerned about the chop saw blade coming apart if rotation were too fast -- or cutting ineffectively if the rotation was too slow.

Probably, but it is the wrong blade in the wrong tool for the job. You need a blade with teeth such as a small circular saw and blade or a carpenter's saw.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

You need to reference two surfaces at 90 degrees to each other to conduct jointing activity. If you build a jig at a perfect 90 degrees, yes you could actually joint edges. However, I'm not sure this machine will hold up to those thick maple boards. Buy a good "glue-line" rip blade for your table saw. The blade will cost about as much as this machine.

Yes Mark. It's quite possible. I have rip cut 18mm ply with this jig into 1" wide strips for a job. I have also cut prelaminated particle board with this. I have had no issues. But one thing when cutting small strips. Be careful about the position of the hands. You need to balance the jig and have the piece you are cutting, steady.

Absolutely! As long as you have a 1/4 20 input on your homemade jib, it'll work great!

Yes, it will work great, just be very steady with the saw and keep it straight.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

No. A jigsaw is typically used for rounded and scroll type cutting. Freehand or with a guide. It's not designed for straight cuts that need a lot of accuracy.

I don't see why it should not. If the saw has a standard miter slot the gauge will work.
1198466
Yes, but a hole would need to be drilled through first. You would need a drill bit 1/16 or less. Need to get behind the lathe or mesh.
1328465
It is possible, but very difficult. The tool is not made for it. You'll destroy some of the metal of the tool when doing it.Best thing is to use a wooden board, put the chain on top, and use a hammer.

There's no reason why it won't. My concern might be that there may be a small amount of tear out at the edge, but then that can happen using a table saw as well.

I cannot answer your specific question for sure since I used it only for repairing my sagging wooden gates. My hunch is that if the diameter of some object is few inches or more, the saw probably would work. But, if something that is not thick nor fixed in place, this saw would not work because the serration of the saw "teeth" is very coarse; using such a saw would be a challenge to cut where you want to successfully.
