Glenn,

You might be able to adapt a jeweler's saw's wire blade to work in the
jigsaw.

While cleaning the basement I happened across my neighbor's old, large, sears jigsaw. What I don't want to do is toss something out in January and then wish I hadn't in May. So, the question to all you experienced pros is: can this saw be rigged up as a trim saw? Do they make jigsaw blades that will cut enough kinds of rock to make this worth saving? It's a dinosaur (no pun intended...) but works fine...certainly it could only be a dry-saw....? Thanks for the help.....Glenn
