  • This Jig for the bandsaw will unlock the ability to cut perfect circles, and rings WITHOUT putting a hole in your piece. This is FASTER and SAFER than a table saw, FASTER and QUIETER than a router and a CNC, and cleaner than In my next video I will show you how to make a BOWL with rings on the bandsaw using this jig.
    This is my design but taking inspiration from a few different videos on UA-cam. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas for improvements, thanks!

    Great jig. I can see a few ways to make this build a little bit more stable and much easier, but it's still great.

      Thanks, how would you improve it? Always interested in making anything I make better.

    Kudos to you for mentioning that you had inspiration for your design from others on UA-cam 😁
    I like the use of the tape/glue trick to hold the centre pin ... overall I like your design a lot 👍
    Two suggestions ...
    1) use double sided tape to join the track to the plywood next time
    2) Maybe place a small flat disc above the locking bolt for the slide, otherwise over time the small end of the bolt will create dents in the underside, which may pull the slide into that dent when making a circle of similar size.

      Thanks for watching. I think both of your suggestions are great, there is always room for improvement. I’m working on a video that uses this jig repeatedly, so I may try placing something to prevent denting in the past I have even put a dab of hot glue which can act as a small cushion with grip.

    I appreciate your video, this is the best circle jig I’ve come across. Maybe I just didn’t catch it, but I didn’t see where you drilled the hole for the little dowel sections to fit into???

      Thanks for watching! I might have forgotten that clip. My older video probably shows it. Basically you just need to drill a hole with a forstner bit that matches the diameter of your dowel into the center of your sliding bar. I used a 5/8” bit / dowel. You also want your hole to be a little bit deeper than the length of your dowel on your workpiece so it doesn’t bottom out and allow your workpiece to rock or tilt. Hope that helps!

    Thanks Nick, I'm going to try your method. I was thinking of using lamenate wood for the second layer. Might spin easier? Thanks.
