Its been a long time, but I believe Ive done this before, and it worked just fine.
A Jigsaw is not a high speed device. Even if a blade shears off, its pointed away from you,
and embedded into what its cutting. Worst case is that you break 2 blades instead of one.
A router on the other hand, IS a dangerous high speed device. Any attempts to make your own cutting tool for that, would be asking for trouble.
Btw - Ive also repaired snapped jigsaw blades by grinding down the blades edge so it will fit back into the slot. Works great.
