I'm a fairly intelligent person, but apparently I need more sleep. I was looking at the two bearings under the jig and it didn't click what it was for until I saw the jigsaw in place. Yep, too little sleep. I should have seen that coming LOL. Nice way to keep the cut really straight.
You could use a router, but it would be a hefty chamfer bit to cut that large...but time = money and a router bit would have worked a little better. I still give credit where credit is due, it's a very functional jig. I think it is worth a thumbs up.
For small 45 degree bevels a router is probably the way to go, but if a bevel other than 45 degrees or larger than the capacity of a router bit was required then this approach is a good solution. A jig on a table saw would possibly give a cleaner cut, but then the size of circle would be limited by the size of the table on the saw and be a more risky operation to perform. Thanks for making one of the most interesting woodworking channels on YT!
I have a table saw. I tried to cut a circle with it once. The relief piece kept binding up on the blade. I have a router on a router table and a 60° chamfer bit, for making 30° bevels. It is tedious and a hell of a fight to get a good clean result. I have the tools you mention, and I'm going to make his jig. It is genius.
Clever! Couldn’t understand why the two pivot points at first. Then blazingly obvious (like most innovations). How did you plan the outer pivot point? Probably also obvious, but ... . Thanks for the video!
Brilliant! This is what I 've been looking for. I 've been looking to build a "Bowl from a Board" and it looks like this jig can do the ring part. Nice work 😀
This can be done with a router OR table saw too :) nice jig though. Alanzo GarbanzoThis can be done with a router OR table saw too :) nice jig though. Alanzo Garbanzo
@@ccccen Except this technique yields a circle and a ring. I have use for the rings. I look to cut all the way through the circle and have circular rings with 45-degree walls. This jig can do it! 😀
You'd need a massive chamfer bit, no? What if you wanted a different angle than 45? Not likely you'd find a chamfer bit that big with a different angle, but this jig could do it.
You explained that so well. I am impressed with your skill.
Thank you very much Donald
nice jig...well thought out...good job.

Great idea if you don't have a router. I rather use a router though lol.

An excellent little jig 👍
Very goog idear, Thank's
That's pretty clever jig. I might consider using that kind of an jig myself if I need to make circular bevel cut sometime.
Thank you very much. I won't use it a lot, but it was fun to make and use
That is actually a chamfer, a bevel comes to a point.
Yes, now I changed the title of the video
Very nice jig and I like the ring :)
Thank you very much Stephan. Yes, it also makes a nice big wood ring with a bevel in the inside :)

Thank you very much Robert. There is a lot of people who only have a jigsaw, and they don't have a router, a router table or a table saw

Great job!!! Thank you!
this is really just an explanation of how rockets achieve orbit around a planet.
Very ingenious and simple. Congratulations
Ingenuity at its best. Keep up the good work.

Pretty impressive, nice jig.
Thank you for sharing this video. ...and thanks a lot for the english language which I missed for the last time. Greetings from Germany. Robert
Thanks for watching 😀
Well executed & very nicely done! That is a great jig........... 👍👍👏👏😉😉
Feine Arbeit
Dankeschön fürs Zeigen
That was pretty amazing.
Great jig.
Very interesting trick, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😀. I will be making a new version soon
Great work ... From tunisia
Thank you very much. Making precise chamfers with a jigsaw is something I couldn't imagine some time ago :)
Pretty interesting project, dude! It works great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Amazing! I find jigs and things to be just as fascinating as the pieces they are used to make. Sometimes even more so. Nice work!
Clever man, clever idea. Bravo 👍
Nice!

@@stu-po OHHHHH , what you want is the darn circles ok. lol

A router and chamfer bit would be far easier, accurate and consistent.
For sure, but in case one don't have a router ... 😀

What jigsaw blade do you use? I looks longer than normal
Yes, some brands make extra long jigsaw blades. I think here I use Bosch T 344 DP
u r clever man ....is this cut 45 degrees?
Yes it is 45 degrees cut
😊👍
I'm impressed, you are really smart!
Nice job!
