The panel work behind the passenger seat brought together straight edges, corners and small side pieces. A mixed blade set is one way my purchased cutting supplies cover more than one material format.

The item in my kit
I bought DEWALT DW3742C Jigsaw Blade Set as part of my camper van equipment.
The panel work behind the passenger seat brought together straight edges, corners and small side pieces. A mixed blade set is one way my purchased cutting supplies cover more than one material format.
Where it fits my build
I made a front panel and two triangular side pieces from black aluminum composite sheet. The cover let me orient the heater vent toward the van interior instead of following the sloping back of the seat platform.
I joined the panels with brackets and self-tapping screws, then fitted the assembly at the seat base. The angle of the platform made drilling awkward, and one screw position left a hole that I planned to cover with a larger washer.

My build notes
I liked the black composite sheet: it was easy to work with and cut, and I liked how it looked. The difficulty came at the angled fastening positions, where access mattered as much as the shape of the cut panels.
The finished panel shape and the access for fastening it had to work together.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The WORKPRO set is another mixed-material assortment. The DEWALT DW3770-5 is a focused metal-blade pack, trading the variety of an assortment for repeated blades of one type.
WORKPRO T-Shank Jigsaw Blade Set
This jigsaw-blade assortment contains several tooth patterns in a storage case. Its T-shank blades provide options for cutting different material types with a jigsaw.
These T-shank jigsaw blades have a tooth pattern intended for thick-metal cutting. The pack groups repeated blades of the same type rather than a mixed-material assortment.
