My jig saw is in for repair as it was not oscillating and I needed to make a few curves. * I decided to give my old compass saw a sharpening. It was a strait rip geometry with pretty large hook. Darn near 30. After doing some research, it seems if one was going to cut wood with them, they would want two. One rip, one crosscut. I bet 90% of them are used to cut drywall and it does not matter and most people use a jig saw anyway. They can get into places power tools can't. So thinking homeowner handyman use, maybe make a half-way with just a little fleam. Make it equally not perfect for either rip or crosscut? Being rip, explains why the holes I have cut in paneling are so rough with so much splintering.
I think I gathered that a table saw is similar, but the set is offset to give it help in following a large outside radius in one direction only. A compass saw needs to cut in either direction.
Thoughts, comments, dope-slaps?
* eventually just put the smallest blade in my Hacks-All and hacked the curves, cleaning them up with a rasp.
