Looks to be a great circle jig, thanks. PRO TIP: when looking for the "A: holes, usually I look in the comment section! !! !!! That's where the people who "know it all" post.
If you're looking for A-holes you've come to the right place my friend! 😆 Great overview Jodee. I love the jasper jigs. They've been around for years and are a very good value for what they do. 👍 Beautiful coasters btw.
I have the same router and I'm 100% sure I know where the A holes are lol I like that jig plus what you did with the doubled sides tape love it man. Had one of those why didn't I think of that moments. Thanks for sharing jig and tape idea
I wish more people understood your initial comment.... Sometimes for accuracy and/or time - buying the best option And everyone is balancing time/money/accuracy differently Great stuff as always!
Great recommendation, dude. I agree that sometimes, it's just smarter to buy a thing than make a custom, one-off jig, etc. Love the humor in this one, and to be honest, I'd watch a video of you building a router.
Beautiful, no sense in reinventing the wheel. Perfect jig. I've got a great use(s) for it. Ordering one as soon as I get through typing. Thanks, Jodee.
Thanks. I have 2 Jasper jigs at the moment for my larger routers. I note that the model 290 is to fit the fixed base trim routers. I have Ryobi R18TR2 ( I believe the US equivalent is P601)
I’ve been wanting to make one of these and I need to be honest with myself that it just isn’t going to happen, and then I just need to suck it up and buy one. Great tips, thank you!
It's certainly well thought out. Perfectly functional too. At $46 it's a bit pricy. A little bit limited by the 18 inch dia. 24 inch would be better. Still it looks like a well made piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
I would be very grateful if you would advise me on what's the difference between the DeWalt DWE600 router and the DeWalt D26200 router? Thank you in advance for responding to my question.
Nice video! I did a project last month where I needed two rings cut out of alder wood, and I just used a piece of plywood with the router hole and two pivot holes drilled in it. But I can see the utility of the pre-cut and pre-drilled template if I'm going to be doing a lot of similar work using a range of different radii. And yes, double-sided tape on the underside of the work piece works great, but I suggest thinking carefully about where to put the tape such that the router bit won't be chewing up a lot of it on through-cuts. The tape can gum up the bit in a hurry.
Awesome... Your videos have really helped me, as a new woodworker. I have a question.... I don't have a dado blade and want to cut several 1/4 inch cuts in preparation for the dovetail bit for the microjig clamp system. Would it be OK to use two 1/8 inch blades on my table saw to it them? Thank you for your advice. Larry
Somebody needs to invent a circle cutting jig that is not 'tidally locked', to use a scientific term, to the center. I want to keep my hands at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock during the entire rotation. This would be more comfortable, would prevent the cord from getting twisted and in theory, would be safer, and produce a better cut since you don't have to take your hands of the router at any time. One of you smart engineers needs to get on that. (edit: removed the clock reference since youtube thought I was referring to a timestamp)
Did you have to get extra long router bits to compensate for the thickness of the blocks used to avoid drilling a hole in the finish piece? Brilliant by the way…👍 I’ll be stealing that idea
I've got one of these, but the problem i have is that all of the 5 inch holes are covered up by my router's base. I can't get a pin in more than the thickness of the jig, and that doesn't feel secure. Wondering if i got the wrong size jig maybe. It's a full size skil router.
A holes. A holes. Yep. Jasper guys could have used numbers or any other symbol system. I suspect that someone there with the authority to make the call had a certain kind of sense of humor. Nice jig.
Talk to a milling machine operator. Often 80% of the time is taken making jigs, clamping to them, and establishing reference. That is the price of accuracy.
Can you do a follow on for making smaller holes with the jig - specifically where the pin overlaps with the base itself and you can't access those holes? I have the same jig and can't use like anything around 3"...
@@InspireWoodcraft flipping upside down means the baseplate holes no longer line up (on a Bosch 1617), plus the screw holes are countersunk. I was able to make it work using a cut off nail instead of the pin.
THEE"A" hole? Sorry I just could not pass that down. You didn't mention the other routers that would fit it nor where we can purchase the jig. The jig makes sense to me because it seems every time we have a outdoor party the coasters come up missing. Either make more coasters or new friends!
@Joseph Worley The only router that I personally have used that doesn't require a centering device is my Festool OF1400. That base has two milled location pins so that it can only go together in one position. If you have a couple of minutes, I went over a couple of other alternatives in this video: ua-cam.com/video/pU2QlL2NjqA/v-deo.html Hope it helps.
Three problems with this jig- - you have to bolt the router to the jig, and use another jig to do it (!) - you have to rely on a measurement for the radius, rather than see exactly where it will go. - the router is fixed to the jig, so rotates with it, so hose and cable get twisted and you have to keep changing your grip. Can you avoid all of these problems? Yes- see ua-cam.com/video/utPjymzT6_s/v-deo.html
I watch and appreciate your channel very much, so thanks for this one. I have a Jasper circle jig and it works well, but like most you have to watch the cord for tangling. That's why I took the time and made this one ua-cam.com/video/YQdNaJFDUR0/v-deo.html. Marius's jig which he made with a friend works very well, yes it takes some time to make but it was definitely worth it for me.
@Olob Iksnagol That's one of the many reasons that I went cordless! I originally tried using a bushing in the centering hole in the Jasper jig, but it's just slightly the wrong size. That's a great jig that he built, except for having to measure each time.
You got a subscription for the pause reaction to the “A Holes” 😂
This recent set of videos you have been doing are great. Very informative. Keep them coming.

@Sebastopolmark That's what I was going to say originally, but I figured I've stirred the pot enough lately. 😂
Great share of purchasible jig, even better tip on how to adapt it for discs instead of holes.
Great fix to avoid central pin holes.

Short and to the point, I like.
Great vid! Picked up the 290!
I LOLed when you identified the holes you were looking for.
I'm an a hole, and I thought that was hilarious! Another A+ video man!
Great looking little template. And "looking for the A-holes"....I love it~!! 😀
Another quality and informative film from you, thanks very much for sharing it with us! 👏👍😀
"I could've made my router too, but I didn't, and you didn't either" lmao, priceless! Thanks for the ideas sir!

@0:43 A Holes. Of course LOL But looks super interesting. Thanks for the info.
Very Good, I own one, but have yet to use it. Looking forward to making some circles. Thanks
Great Video. Handy information.
“The look” (00:47) 😂🤣😂
I have this jig, it works as advertised.
Great Job!
Thanks!
I hope when I get it I'll be looking for the "B" holes LOL!
As usual excellent info many thanks
The pregnant pause over the a-holes comment was all it took :)
Hahahaha.. that's just the chuckle I needed today.

Nice, the metric-version you get in Germany for !!! 90€ ! 😳
Are the A-holes any better or worse than the B-holes? Asking for a friend.
What kind of bit did you use for the groove?
A holes. A holes. Yep. Jasper guys could have used numbers or any other symbol system. I suspect that someone there with the authority to make the call had a certain kind of sense of humor. Nice jig.
Good common sense statement.Some makers spend more time making jigs than making projects

0:43 *"bro why you gotta look at us T.T"*
Will it fit my Ridgid 18V seamlessly??
my trim router doesn't have a plunge base :( Any thoughts on how to route circles anyway?
Ain't that the truth, always having to work with the a-holes 🤣🤣🤣
Can you do a follow on for making smaller holes with the jig - specifically where the pin overlaps with the base itself and you can't access those holes? I have the same jig and can't use like anything around 3"...
@Andy Peters Have you tried rotating the jig 180 degrees?
@@InspireWoodcraft flipping upside down means the baseplate holes no longer line up (on a Bosch 1617), plus the screw holes are countersunk.

ottimo
A holes are easy to spot. They always reveal themselves. 😂
Do you really need to use the centering cone when reinstalling the sub base? Don't the screws align the base automatically?
They do not - all router manuals I looked at specifically ask for centering cone.

I want to make things. The things I want to make are usually not jigs.
