Hi,

I was reading the 'Graphics help' thread and kwbraley1 (Keith) mentioned the Rockwell Blade Runner X2 jig saw, which is a portable, inverted jig-saw which can be mounted to a wall.

I've looked at all the usual sites in Ireland and the UK and I can't find it or anything similar.

My question is could I get away with a traditional jig saw as they're fairly inexpensive (at the lower end anyway) and has anyone else used one for their pvc cutting and what blades should I be looking for?

Thanks,

Paul

Hacksaw blades are probably best. All conjecture, so caveat emptor!

Thanks Mark- I see a nice Bosch set on Amazon very reasonably priced- www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-2607010629-Jigsaw-Blade-10-Piece/dp/B003TWP1QO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1447461566&sr=8-2&keywords=jig+saw+blades

Although they might provide too rough a cut for plexi, I shall do my research!

Thanks again,

Paul
