In Response To: starting the cut (Jay Babina)
: for what it's worth. I use a metal ruler as a straight edge and use a utility
: knife. Start lightly and get a little path about an inch. Keep working it
: and burrow a slice into your line. Then push the blade in, take deep
: breath and pray.
I start my jig saw cut for hatch openings by drilling three or four, very close, holes on the cut line with a drill bit the width of my saw blade. Then just push the jig saw blade into the holes and start sawing.
All the best,
