I needed a circle jig, so I built one. But not alone. Kriss from the channel Toolify visited me for a few days and we made this project together.

Enjoy the video!
The majority of the video was shot about 2,5 years ago. The collaboration got interrupted and we then didn't manage to finish it. So some parts of my shop look different than now.
Great👍👌❤️🌹💯
Did you add salt to the glue?
@@mattschwarzenberg yes, he did. The granules bite the wood so it doesn't slide. Works great.
How come Kriss doesn't do any videos anymore? Dude was smart also.
Great memories. This was a lot of fun! I need to get to editing the other video we filmed :D
Yes, definitely pretty cool four days! I'm looking forward to your video!
Hi chris have you abandonded you tube all together are are you planning a comeback
I miss Kriss's videos! Greeting to both from Croatia
Hey Kriss!
Glad you’re still around man. Worried when you vanished from all social media. Hope you’re doing well. Please consider making videos again!
I made your circle jig two years ago and all I can say is thank you - AGAIN! My hobby is making speakers, many speakers, and as you might imagine I cut many circular holes. Your jig has saved me from having to rewire three routers. I know that some will say all you have to do is watch the router and cable to avoid the tangles. I believe you have to focus on the work and this jig allows me to put all of my focus on my work piece.
Great to see Kriss. He had some very interesting ideas back when he made UA-cam videos. This was a fun blast from the past.
Was just about to say the same! What ever happened to Toolify? He had a fantastic brain and some interesting solutions/projects!
Agreed! Marius try to get Kriss to do more collaborations.
Don’t quote me on this, but didn’t Kriss quit UA-cam to go and star on that Big Bang Theory show? Seriously though, had a chance to meet him when I took my kids to Festool Connect in Indiana a few years ago; he was super nice, talking to them about his shop and giving them stickers which are still pasted on their little toolboxes. I still recommend his homemade MFS video to everyone.
I had to comment on your subtle humor in so many places. Watching your videos is a joy.
It's always great to watch videos by Marius but what a special treat to see Kriss again after all this time!
One modification you could make to make it easier to change sizes would be to use sliding T-nuts in a track carved in the slider rather than fixed nut locations. You'd still need to remove them to flip the slider, but it would mean no more unscrewing all the way to get to the next nut location.
Thanks Marius, I made a version of this router circle/hole cutting jig and it worked very well. I've made a couple of the traditional circle jigs, but as you clearly stated the cord and vacuum hose can get really tangled up. Thanks again!
Two jig designing geniuses & masters of modern woodworking together in one shop!
Great build. Nice to see Chris again, I miss his Videos.
Thanks for introducing Kriss. He has some very brilliant ideas on his Toolify site.
Yes, I just now subscribed to it.
Fantastic. I don't have a router and for sure I don't have the skill. Yet, I'm so very impressed by the good explanations, fantastic workmanship, and the practicality of the end product. This is my favourite channel. Great work Marius!
Using the bushing is genious.
Using new baseplates for the routers and the adjustable wheel bearings is a brilliant idea!
Thanks a ton for sharing that! :-)
my first thought: Marius builds a plywood machine that enables mitosis.
Marius, du bist großartig.
When making the slider, you can cut a couple of longer strips on the table saw if it's set to the correct width. That way you have future stock if you need to route a larger circle.
I did that off camera. They're in the drawer together with the jig
You could add a ruler on the bottom of that jig to make it even simpler to set the radius correctly. Maybe you can embed it into the slider and calibrate it to the middle point of the router's axis.
Another idea would be to add some kind of measuring point for the caliper so you do not have to subtract half of the pin points diameter and such things.
What a brilliant idea you've got Marius! Thanks for sharing!
One of my. Oak Park jigs uses this idea as well, The guide bushing allows router to stay on one direction without the cord getting tangled…. Thanks…
The three little bearings: Genius!
a really smart idea there Marius, soon as I get back in my shop , I'm making one too Well done , Karl
First class build.
Hi Marius, I just checked out Kriss's site. Love your posts & thank-you. Kriss did great work.
That’s a useful jig if your always using your router. Good video. And also wanted to thank you, as you are inspiring. I always try and push myself to learn to hard and difficult things as I always find the most satisfaction from those things. Am sort of a late bloomer lol. Take it easy.
Your Vid was just "Ahh Okay" till I seen the addition of the bearings. then I was very impressed. very very
Nice job and very clever!
2:35 "the easiest way to mark this is a caliper"... or use your triangle square to mark 45° lines from the corners.
huh, genius, danke dir
awesome improvement on a common jig. thanks for posting.
Brilliant skills brilliant explanations and a lovely manner. Thank you.
Great improvements on the commercial tool. You should make a sketch of this and sell the plans. I'd buy a copy.
Definitely cool! All thats needed now is a way wo use the jig without having to use a center hole, that would be perfect.
Great work again I would make this myself and already starting to see its potential for all my routers especially the ones I dont use often
Did anyone notice that Kriss was wearing those neckband earplugs like a pair of ear muffs? Sorry, but I found that hilarious!
"Just cutting off one nut" is not something I would do to save a project
That's a very handy jig.
Great project and video. Thanks for sharing.
This is just so simply superb 👍🇮🇳🙏
I want one of those damn shirts!!!
And now for the glue up. Now it’s really important you season it first as the salt really needs to penetrate deep into the wood, giving the most tenderness and flavour
0:49 perfekt deckungsgleich, wohl im Post biske nachgeholfen 😉
I'll be making one of these. Thanks Marius.
Спасибо.Вы очень позитивный ,добрый молодой человек . Идеи какими вы делитесь дорого стоят!
Awsome collaboration. Hope to see Chris making videos soon.
That's Awesome!
Hey Marius! You should build yourself a Fritz&Franz Jig! This makes cutting on your Hammer K3 much safer!
I'd love to see Marius have a go at it as well!
Well done and well thought out. MY particular routers have very little adjustment for concentricity with the base hole and the center of the bits .. the toughest thing I have to do.
Good work. The swivel base is ingenius!
I'm thinking this technique could be applied to work with a Jasper (or similar flat) jig, and routers that have a round base. Make a plate, maybe a 1/4 to 3/8" (7 to 10 mm) thick disc, that will be screwed to the Jasper jig, and will have the three bearings spaced accordingly on it. My only concern is stability, / the router staying flat on the swivel base.
I don't make videos, but it would be interesting to see if you or someone else might try this.
Great Jig Marius. Really great....!
love the bearing idea but I would prefer it fixed to jig incase it slightly pops up above bearing on one edge or indeed out of the bearing guide all together causing the cut edge to be off. maybe a normal jig but with cable hanging directly above router like a boom etc?
maybe also a add on to this one that locks in the router but still lets bearings move?
This looks like an original idea??? Darn good one!
Awesome work you guys!!! Love watching both of you.
Awesome build. Thank you for sharing your skills.
very nice work Marius. I am wondering why Kriss has not created videos. You are both very talented woodworkers...
what a great idea and implementation. Just perfect.
Very nice jig
Excellent Jig! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Awesome jig. Well designed and fabricated. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Awesome idea! Thanks, keep up the videos always enjoy them!
Genial! Vielen Dank für diese tolle Idee! Uwe aus Darmstadt
I made a similar jig for cutting circles with a router but have been wanting to make a better one for ages... the bearing and circular base plates make it so much easier! I'll have to add this to my list of projects to make :)
Very clever, well done
Excellent idea!
Genius. Building one, but hope to find a way to include a ruler that will allow me to adjust the radius
Finished making one for a palm router with a fixed base (does not plunge). This is a problem because it requires drilling two holes. One for the pivot pin and another for the bit because trying to align the router base within the bearings while the router is running is not easy. Otherwise it works great. I really like that the bearing location is adjustable to ensure a snug fit with the base. Hoping someone has an idea of how to emulate the plunge action without having to buy a new palm router that has such a base available. I want to use a small router so I can cut small circles such as guitar and ukelele sound holes.
Great to see you Kriss........your alive...;-)
This footage is 2.5 years old... So he was alive then....
Though he did leave a comment here too. Just not making videos.
Cool, thanks for sharting.
ur better then this Old House, plus i want a shirt
Great job!.Thank you for the informative video.Good luck to you.
nice work
i want to be woodworking but don't have tools:(
Perfect collaboration. Do you know why he’s not uploading any more videos?
He's just busywith other stuff
Marius Hornberger what’s her name ? 😆
@@peacekeeper5119 First name: Other Last name: Stuff
I think to in order measure the diameter of the circle you plant to cut you need a measurement from the center of your pin to the OUTSIDE of your router bit. I think you measured from the inside
He's alive! :D
Haa...i think its been quite a while i havent seen new videos from toolify. Hello chris
Подскажу , там где центральная ось сделай из органического стекла , чтобы видеть где она. Еще не всегда ось можно в изделие вбивать\вкручивать , поэтому делается пластинка из оргстекла с углублением под ось и клеется двойным скотчем на столешницу к примеру которую вы режете.
Great video, great looking shop. What was the purpose of the salt on the glue?
I love Germans lol (American). You guys are awesome
Hi Kriss from Toolify. It's been years!
Excelente...! 🇵🇪
Realy cool project :D I must made same jig
awesome! Been waiting for this!
Brilliant!
Nicely done Marius. Have you considered installing a couple of drop cords in certain spots to allow the cords to go overhead? I use drop cords for routers and sanders to keep the cords out of the way.
Dangerous comment (for me): saw a commercial product, thought I could make one - a lot less expensive (hahaha!)
Does the salt trick really work when doing glue ups? I've read about it but have never tried it. Nice build by the way.
Thanks Marius that router guide is going to be very handy. I wonder what effect (if any) having the slide offset from the centre line or at a slight angle will have?
Very interesting from the spectator point of view but I think this would be quite useless for most of the circles you need to cut, I mean how deep can you go with that 3/4cm of thickness ( jig+plate)? I mean jig+plate are roughly 3 or 4 cm ,what if you need to cut a circle on a 2cm wood table?
Jig+plate is 21mm thick. About as thick as any other homemade circle jig
you could market that jig
Great video
What is the smallest diameter you can cut with it
@2:06 just season to taste
Thanks for the video. Love the knobs! How did you make them?
You did not mention that you have plenty of this nice shirts :-p
As always, nice build :-)
did he user salt?
Would there be a point in installing some kind of rollers for the base plate to sit on to reduce the friction between the base plate and jig? Or is that just me overengineering it?
nice jig but i just bought a cordless router so no more tangled cords ever
That's the optimal solution
Der Kollege lebt noch 👍 warum macht er keine neuen Videos?
Hi, Marius, I have the k3, but it doesn't have the circular opening that your saw has. I think that you actually have the b3, but that the router is just not installed.
Almost, I have the C3, without the router and without the jointer/planer
@@MariusHornberger Thanks! I've been wondering about that for some time now. Thank you also for the detailed information about the table saw. Thanks to your videos, I knew what I was going to get.
I like your idea in general. However, doesn't it defeat the purpose of the jig (speed of mounting among other things) to have to remove the plastic base plate from the router to screw another base plate (the one you made in wood) every time the jig needs to be used? Would it be better to just attach (faster) the bushing? Unless the plastic base is rounded (which always have a straight edge). Just my two cents.
If you want to use the original plastic base again, then this jig doesn't make any sense, right. But the idea is that you always use the new wooden base.
Is that the Felder Diamond Saw Blade? Did you ever make a video about that?
Perfect 👌❤️😍🌹💯
Do you have something similar for elliptical?
No, haven't cut anything elliptical yet
Great project, thank you for the inspiration. Will you make plans available? I find interesting that your AEG router is basically the same as my Ridgid router, even the color. Now it begs the question as to what Kriss is up to now.
I don't see the need for plans to replicate this jig
Lol the T-shirt.
Yes! That’s my favorite part too :)
