Well I learned the hard way that no matter how hard you try a jigsaw will wander!
I ended up using my little Worx saw - did a reasonable job - far better than my plasma cutter!
Talking of jigsaws I just tried cutting a curve in a piece of 3mm ali at home. I didn't have my expensive jigsaw with Bosch specialist aluminium cutting blades - all I had was my little Black and Decker cordless multi function drill/jigsawwith a 10tpi wood blade - it was FAR better!
I never realised a cheap wood blade would be better than the proper tool for the job.
