Today I have bought some fancy blades which I am told should do a better
job than the standard blades that came with the jigsaw.

They are bosch "clean for wood" - "clean cut" blades with 1.4mm pitch
teeth. I will post an opinion when I try them out.

Thanks for the reply

Does anyone have any tips on the best ways to cut marine ply (6, 9 and
12mm)? In particular I want to cut curved 8' boards for a dinghy. So I
guessing that a band saw is a good bet but I don't have one. Are there
any other methods that can produce good results?

Thanks


A power jig-saw does good work, if equipped with the right blade. A
fine metal blade might be better for thin sheets, which otherwise show
one ragged edge unless backed.
