Hi Speros ! I must say that this is one of, if not the best, circle cutting jigs that I have seen! I would like a crack at making a similar sometime for my band saw. A superb project mate , hope all's well and cheers, Bram
Bram the Wadesmill woodturner Hey Bram, thank you so much! I love this jig so far, totally recommend making one. All is well, hope all is well with you and the family. Take care! Speros
Very nice build and one of the best jigs I've seen. Do the front adjuster. I use mine all the time and can really zero in on the back of the gullet. Cheers, Lee
Lee thank you Lee, I plan on adding the adjuster the next time I need to change the blade. I was always under the impression that the tip of the teeth was better than the back of the gullet. I assumed that it could bind in the kurf if the blade is thin on a tight turn. Is there a reason why you use the back of the gullet? I’ve seen it alines both ways. Thank you my friend.
I really don't know. I guess I read it. it would be an interesting test to turn two circles and compare. Easy to do with the " adjuster" . I think the size of the radius may have an effect. Don't know I just use it for bowls and didn't care about accuracy. Cheers, Lee
I must have missed it but I scanned back through twice. I did not see you put a index pin in the track (nail point) to reference the center point of the stock.
Hi Gary, this jig is both pin and non-pin. I have both and other attachments. So, I can cut pieces without adding a hole. The clear circle is double sided taped then inserted into the hole in the slider. It works great. I wanted to design a jig that would do many things. Hope that helps. Thank for watching.
Nice job, if you really want to look professional put your tape measure away in a draw and use a steel rule for measuring. a tip from a retired engineer...
The Dunelm Delver UK. Thank you! I honestly never heard of that before, but I can see your point. I use both and live dangerous, lol. Thanks for watching and commenting!
SP Wood Art So far, so good. Pretreating a batch of punky maple burl bottle stopper blanks today with Cactus Juice. Tomorrow is resin day again. Having a lot of fun with the Total Boat resin, it is almost gone!

Thank you for detailing the point that is needed for cutting a perfect circle.

Lee Good to know, once I add the adjuster I will try it out both ways. Thank you, and Cheers!
