DIY jigsaw from an old sewing machine

Hello dear readers andthe inhabitants of our site!
Perhaps you have an old sewing machine lying around, and covered with dust.
In this article, the author of the YouTube channel Vladimir Natynchik will tell you how to make a completely suitable and functional electric jigsaw out of it.

This home-made machine will not require turning work. All that is needed is screwdrivers and keys.

Materials
- Old electric sewing machine
— 
- Spray paint metallic blue
- sheet plywood
- Bolts, nuts, washers M6
- Second glue, soda
- A pair of bearings, these are suitable

Instruments, used by the author.
— 
- Hacksaw
- Wrenches, screwdriver
-, wood drills.

Manufacturing process.
So, Vladimir found an old sewing machine “the seagull”.

To make a machine from it, you will have to remove the fabric feed mechanism and the rotation of the bobbin. Those bolts that did not loosen, the master warmed up with a gas burner. After this procedure, everything is very easy to understand.



In the upper part of the mechanism, the author made a small revision, lubricated important components, and removed the regulators.


Old electrical wiring has also been replaced.


Then the master painted all the surfaces of the machine with “blue metallic” spray paint.

He hurried a little with painting, the machine needed to increase the stroke of the rod. Indeed, now plywood will be cut, and not the fabric sewn. He made a lining of plywood 20 mm thick, and screwed it between the base and the upper part of the machine.




To avoid unscrewing the bolts from vibration, the author poured them with paint.

The first test for operability and the magnitude of the stroke of the blade.




There was a little problem. When the blade is loaded, it does not hold well on the stem, and moves back.


In order to solve this issue, the master made a special emphasis from the M6 ​​bolt and two bearings with washers laid between them.



Having made a drink in the plank, fixed the bearings in it, and cut off the excess bolt.


On the underside of the machine, he fixed the thrust mechanism with superglue with soda.

Now a little test for sawing a piece of plywood. It cuts very quickly and without chips. Well, Vladimir gave a second life for an old machine!




Thanks to the author for the great idea of ​​converting an old machine into a suitable machine!
All good mood, good luck, and interesting ideas!

I only wrote to the admin, and you guessed it. Yes, I'm already taking home an ancient one with a scissor. From the bed I will make a barbecue.

I feel now a wave of homemade goods will go not from a grinder, but from a sewing machine. This junk on the sites of announcements is full. And they give it almost for free.

Then you need to master the clutch, otherwise everything will be cowardly. Although with good balancing it should work.
