I got tired of scratching my woodwork with the base of my Bosch jigsaw so I replaced it with a wooden one. I used a piece of 3/8-in. thick maple, 3 in. wide and 5 in. long. The larger base gives more stability, and the wood damps vibration.

Nice. I use masking tape. Also, my Bosch came with an add-on plastic shoe.
