Seldom seen useful jigsaw accessory.

When sometimes I need a scroll saw for pierced work but I don’t want to go through the hassle of installing and removing blades for every cut on a regular scroll saw I use this rare accessory. It is made by Bosch for their saws but it may work for others. Quick to set up and works great. There are very thin blades for scroll work available for this saw also.

So, you can make a pilot hole then free hand the shape out by holding the shape?

Correct. Although it will not replace a scroll saw for most pierced tasks it will work fine. With a scroll saw one has to install and remove blade after each cut in order to move to next cut. Scroll saw does however have much thinner blades allowing one to make cleaner tighter radiused cuts. If one needs to do some scribing cuts on long skinny pieces or fillers at a job site it is also great for that. Many times its easier to move the work over the tool rather than move the tool over the work. These scribed cuts around the fireplace in my house were done with this set up many years ago.
