- Yes! Quick release! That means no more endless screwing and unscrewing to make adjustments. And no tools needed to make adjustments, after it's put in the router.
A single wheel sets the diameter and can be popped out and in for rapid set up.
While I used plastic for the wheel in mine, the original plywood one should last a long time.

I was thinking if John were to add two more (one at each end) they could be used to lock the base in position.
Only thing I'd do differently is use a threaded insert in the knob as it will last longer than the wood threads
My favorite projects of yours are always the small shop tools. Your mini cross-cut sled has gotten a lot of use in my shop.
The title of this video is suitable for 99% of the woodworking projects.
John is the Tesla of the wood shop!!!
So glad you still take the time to share your creations. Thank you
Really people? Only 39 comments? This jig deserves way more than that. Very innovative John. Nice and compact. Thanks for sharing.
".....and you know what? You made it, so you can make a new one. No problem." 🤣
I like it, looking at the thumbnail i thought you'd brought something rather than making it, i was shocked 😅
You sir are like a mad genius. Been enjoying your videos for years now. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great tool for speaker builders
Loved the quick adjustment 👍👍
Reminds me of the way I used to work and build things before I started using CAD, CAM, CNC mills, Laser Cutters, and 3D Printers. I'll never go back.
Enjoyed seeing this come together. Your stuff is so complicated, yet so simple.
Hi John,
I made your circle cutting jig today. Thank you so much!! I used your updated technique for cutting the round base plate, I found that the collet for my dremel would hold the 1/8th drill bit, then the 1/4 inch collet would grip the dremmel collet enough for me to drill the hole in centre with the router. I then used the circle cutting jig to cut my baseplate. 👍👍👍
Awesome 👍
Thanks for the video!
Thanks :)
Wow! Cool jig. Well done sir. I have a tip regarding wooden machine screws. I use some water thin CA glue on the threads to make them tougher. In an application like your circle jig, the CA goes in the hole right befor you run the hreaded rod rod back an forth being careful to keep the rod moving so as not to glue it in the hole. A little wax on the rod after the CA has dried makes it work smoothly. I tried it once when the idea first came to mind, and it's become a regular step whenever I'm cutting machine threads in wood. Thanks for sharing this well thought out jig.
All i can say is your work of wood makes me envious. Excellent video and product.
Thank you very much! This is miles better than the stock Makita circle jig I got with the router.
Once again.. you’re a wizard.
That's so cool. You're making me want to buy a router!
Very cool. I’ve been using your previous version for a while and this is a great improvement.
Bloody brilliant!
Awesome work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Excellent work sir.
I Suggest superglue in the threads of the wood nut to strengthen them. Or, super in the hole of the nut before you thread it. Of course, allow the super glue to dry before putting it on the threaded rod
Love it! You are an absolute genius!
Very handy jig, well done
Your tools are crazy sharp amazing
brilliant idea
Nice and simple!
Good jig John,i love it.
Neat idea John.👍👍
Great jig John. I see one of those in my future.
Nice size. You could get extra fancy with the nut, maikng it like a quick release quill stop. using a threaded furniture cross dowel for the plunger half nut. I think they are M5.
Cool! I might try this w a 4-20 set screw style clamp.. hmm.
Fantastic circle cutting jig John! Will definitely be making one like that! Thanks! 👍👍
Great jig!
Spectacular!!!
Great idea
Good making
Gosto de apreciar novas invenções que lidam com praticidade e bom desempenho. PARABENS
Really nifty idea. Gonna put this on the shortlist ” to build”. Great project John 👍
Nice! You could also make a recess for a steel hex nut and epoxy that in before cutting out the notch.
another good one!
Appreciation 😮😊
I dunno, it seems to me that you are just going round and round… ;)
Great idea, well executed!
Thanks
Great work John! On a side issue - do you think you could DIY a roller to turn square steel stock into a 1:4 pitch? Same as the normal router bits? It would so handy for many projects.
very clever
I think you can also press fit a Nut in the wheel, and appoxy it. I like the idea, very creative and an Excellent Video…
Really good-if you want to make the wood thread last longer make an in-situ epoxy bush in the wood. Wax up the threaded stud , drill an oversized hole in the wood and fill the gap with thickened epoxy
Thanks
Very nice
You are one intelligent fellow. 😎👍👍
Nice work John!! Great Idea. Headed out to the shop now to build one!
You are very clever.
That's just brilliant, John! Fantastic work! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the tips!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Might it be an idea to add a lock nut at either the inside out outside of the block. I know it'll take longer to set, but nothing would be more annoying than to go around the circle and then find that the router's crept in to the work.
Great video. Question-- can you reference me where to buy that double side tape? To remove the tape from the wood piece I have to use the blower. Thanks.
I have an idea to bounce off you. Instead of a wheel, what about cutting a thin slot parallel to the threaded rod, then inserting a piece of hacksaw blade using the hole end of the blade as a pivot. The hacksaw blade could be pivoted down to the threaded rod to engage blade teeth to rod threads. Perhaps some sort of spring could be added to press the blade down to the threads. The only thing would be getting a good match between the blade teeth per inch and the rod’s threaded per inch.
Goated jig
0:58 Ah, was expecting the green Hitachi... nostalgia...
The "ANY 16THs Circle cutting jig"...noice.
Awsome
Far out, man. Those circles are groovy.
Neat Idea... Scarlett Johansson would be proud (or hidden... whatevs)😉
Cool.
Would it not also work with just one block and a wing nut on either side of it? 5:59
John, have you ever had your IQ tested?? The reason I ask is because a LOT of the stuff you make seems to be pure Genius to me at least!!! Brilliant 👏 idea, Sir!!
Another great jig 👍 Wouldn't it have been simpler to have a single block which the threaded rod goes through, with a threaded knob going down through the block and pressing against the threaded rod to hold it ... quick release built in and nothing to really wear out ... another method would be to have a split in the block with the knob pulling the sides together to clamp the threaded rod in position!
But then you don't get the threaded micro adjustment.
Why not just cut a nut into the plywood wheel . I know you won't getting quick release but you could spin the for with the drill for quicker adjustment
It's really a disaster that John always gets his hands so close to the running saw blade. He sets a bad example!
This is a great idea. For safety reasons I would probably consider it a prototype. It might be worth getting machined. I wouldn't want to rely on the epoxy to hold that little pin in such a thin piece of wood. I also have to assume the internal threads of the plastic knob will eventually stretch during use. If it was machined, the pin would be a weld and the knob could be aluminum with a push button quick release. After making a bunch of 10" and 11" circles this week, I would've used this if I had one.
so much over thinking, lol. How much force do you put on your tools?
@@KipdoesStuff There is a minimum force required to send router bits through materials. That's why we have a pretty big variety of routers from cut out tools/laminate trimmers all the way up to shapers and every HP in between.
id just stick a clothes peg init and be done with the wheel
I like it. Solid design. Better than I could think up on my own I think. Although I think I would modify it a little.
The screw knob thing looks a bit fiddly to me though. It will likely work a long time. I don't doubt that. I might would just use a solid block for the threaded rod to go though, then drill and tap an intersecting hole in the side of said block, and run a bolt with a home made head glued on for grip as a set screw. Just seems simpler to me, although you would lose any fine adjustment beyond just loosen, bump, retighten, try, loosen, bump, retighten.
💥👌👍🤝😎
First!
Man you could have at least painted it cat shit green!
Why not talk about or show what you are going to build first?
Made your previous version for my Bosch Colt abd love it! 🪵 ⭕ 😊
Great idea
