Would you trust a variable speed jigsaw to cut 1/16" hard maple or sapele?
My scroll saw just went out, and the deadline for my build is right around the corner. I'm nearly broke at the moment, and a jigsaw is looking like my cheapest option. The only thing is, I worry that a jigsaw will either jump around on my material so I can't cut straight, or it will crack my material, or both? What are your thoughts? Thanks.

i wouldn't trust a jig saw for such thin material. Even with tape, it would probably split or tear. I would use a fine tooth hand saw or coping saw.

You need to tape before you cut and trace on the tape the shape. but more important, and I know that this is something you don't want to hear! you need a fine teeth blade! is the only way to cut hard wood with out damaging the edges!
