Human: Handle for T-Shank Jig Saw Blades, with Blade Magazine Please see my Improved Jig Saw Handle. 03/22/2018: New version where the size of the saw blade socket has been corrected to fit Bosch blades perfectly. The saw body is now available in one piece, not divided. This is a handle for attaching jigsaw blades with a hole inside to store up to 10 blades (depending on thickness). The wedge jaw and sliding clamp system provides optimal blade grip, preventing the blade from moving when sawing. The design has been made to be printed on ABS. Before printing, see the printing instructions. To avoid using difficult-to-remove substrates, the handle is printed in two halves and then glued with PVC glue or by joining the two parts together and applying acetone to the joint. It will penetrate by capillary action, solidly joining the two pieces. Before mounting, it may be necessary to sand the front of the handle until the clamp slips off effortlessly. To assemble the cover, insert the two hooks with the protrusion facing outwards into the rectangular holes of the cover, sticking them to the cover as indicated. They must be slightly divergent from the cover. In order to obtain an optimal grip on the saw, it is necessary to stick sandpaper grains in the jaw and inside the hole where the saw is embedded. To achieve this, soak a few pieces of sandpaper (with fabric backing) in water (Sand Image 1). In a few minutes, the "sand" will be detached from the fabric (Sand 2). Remove the pieces of cloth, rinse the sand, and throw the water away. The sand will remain at the bottom of the container. Let it dry. Take the jaw and soak the underside with acetone to soften the ABS. Add more acetone if necessary. Repeat for 30 seconds. Sprinkle the sand over that area and press gently to adhere. Remove any sand that doesn't stick and flatten with a saw blade. Repeat on the other side of the handle, where the jaw will be seated. Be careful not to let the sand stick to the walls. The Assembly Image shows how to mount a saw in the handle. Depending on the thickness of the mounted saw, the clamp may not reach the end, but the saw will still be securely held. It has been tested with saws from 0.8 to 1.5 mm thick. A longer jaw design has also been included for use if you don't want to use the sand trick, but the saw grip will be less optimal.
