Abstract

An adapter is disclosed for converting a portable jigsaw into a hand-held instrument for removing wallpaper. The adapter includes an extension clamped to the table of the jigsaw that both provides structural strength as well as a reciprocating blade mount. The extension is preferably formed of plastic. In an alternative embodiment, instead of the reciprocating blade, a sander is mounted to the reciprocating portion of the extension.
