You might think you can rip cut using a jig saw, but you can’t. Really, the only way to rip cut is using a table saw. You can get close with a band saw, but the cut will be jiggley.

And that little roto-zip thing that they show them putting on a wall and cutting out a nice square outlet hole turns into a wild torque fest of jagged lines across the wall.
What you guys need are guide fences, and on the band saw you need to replace the standard blade guides with roller bearings. I actually use the zip saw, along with an 8 foot extruded alumminum bar and a couple of c-clamps, instead of a chisel for setting hinges into exterior doors.
