You guys that like a little back cut on your scribe cuts might appreciate this. I made a left and right 10 degree base by cutting two pieces of 3/4 mdf to the desired angle and then contact cemented them to a couple standard base inserts. Switching from perpendicular to bevel is actually faster this way than with most jig saws.

This would be even better if someone had a 3d printer they could make the whole thing in plastic 
Ah something else I just spotted , you can't use splinter guards so if you were to design a fully plastic version of this base it would be handy if it still had the nibs to slide on the splinter guards.

Great Idea.
Is this the insert you used?
I think Festool prices have gotten really out of hand. [big grin]

I think he used the standard flat base. At least, it's the one that I would use for greater surface area.JD2720 said:

UPDATE: You definitely want to use a 105mm blade with these bevel bases... you can get away with the shorter 75mm in 3/4 stock but just barely. A shallower bevel on the base would help some with depth of cut but i chose a 10deg. bevel as a happy medium based on what i've set my previous jigsaws for scribing.
