Project Ideas
Business
Custom Wood-and-Metal Signage
Offer layered signage: a stained wood backer with cut metal letters or logos. The M 3456 XF Progressor blade lets you prototype fast, cutting both materials with one blade style. Sell to cafes, boutiques, and home clients with options for outdoor finishes and mounting hardware.
Home Decor Shop: Maps and Silhouettes
Produce state outlines, pet silhouettes, or name plaques in wood with thin metal shadow layers. The blades handle mixed laminations, enabling crisp edges and quick production for Etsy or local markets. Flat-pack designs reduce shipping cost and damage risk.
On-Site Trim and Fit Service
Provide a mobile service cutting cabinet fillers, vent openings, access panels, and bracket slots in both wood and thin metal. A U-shank jigsaw with these blades covers most materials encountered on installs and repairs, minimizing tool changes and time on site.
Event Props and Backdrops
Build large plywood props with reflective metal accents for weddings, photo booths, and pop-ups. Offer rental and custom builds. The ability to cut wood frames and metal details with one blade set speeds turnaround on tight event timelines.
Hands-On Workshops
Run introductory classes on jigsaw fundamentals: blade selection, U-shank compatibility, cutting wood vs. thin metals, and safe pierce cuts. Monetize through class fees, kits that include pre-marked blanks and blades, and upsells to custom templates.
Creative
Mixed-Material Skyline Wall Art
Cut a layered city skyline from plywood, then add highlights like bridges or windows from thin sheet metal. Use the M 3456 XF Progressor blade to move seamlessly between wood and metal layers, drilling starter holes for interior windows and achieving a dimensional, industrial-modern piece.
Kinetic Desk Sculpture
Create interlocking plywood shapes with small aluminum accent pieces that spin on dowels or bolts. The Progressor blade handles the thicker wood profiles and the thin aluminum brackets without a blade swap, letting you prototype and fine-tune balance and movement quickly.
Puzzle Box with Metal Inlay
Build a small hardwood box and jigsaw shallow channels that accept thin brass or copper inlays. Use the metal-capable blades to shape the inlay strips and the same blade to refine the wooden recesses, producing a striking contrast line pattern around the lid or edges.
Upcycled Pallet Coffee Table with Steel Inset
Break down pallet boards, cut them to size, and inlay a perforated steel or aluminum panel flush into the tabletop. The wood/metal Progressor blades make it easy to cut both rabbeted recesses in wood and clean panel openings in the sheet metal for a rugged, modern look.
Rustic Lantern with Tin Panels
Make a wooden frame lantern and cut decorative motifs into thin tin or galvanized steel panels for the sides. Drill starter holes and use the Progressor blade to pierce-cut the metal designs, then switch to straight cuts in the wood frame without changing tools.
