I make a lot of pieces that have curve edges and have found this method to be amazingly quick and easy. Just have to be careful your tape doesn't slip. Really messes up everything.
Great video, I like these jigs, probably going to make them to. At 2:20 you say your jig can cut up to a radius of 28 inches, oops, I'm assuming you meant radius of 14, or diameter of 28. I'm looking at building an adjustable jig for various angles, adjustable in all 3 planes (I know the table can be tilt, as can the mitre fence) especially for compound cuts, can you suggest any. Sub'd and liked. 👍
Yes you are correct the circle jig will cut circles up to 28" diameter. I've never seen a shop made jig for cutting compound angles at the bandsaw, but this may offer some inspiration... infinitytools.com/products/vrs-200-professional-vertical-router-sled?_pos=8&_sid=988c0b083&_ss=r Thanks!
What did you use to cut the miter slider bar? You mentioned bandsaw but does it have to be metal capable? I only have a wood bandsaw. Thanks and great videos. Going to subscribe now!
i had to bolt an inch thick mdf onto my wen table, either the miter slot or the included miter bar were so out of spec they almost fell out vertically. maybe ill get some extra miter bar and hope the table is in spec. also threw out the included fence, dangerously bad design wobbled and bent before i even used it once. wen=not good.
The flat nut was from Woodcraft. Rockler has them too I think. The bolt was just from a local hardware store. As I recall, I had to cut it to length. Thanks.
For the circle jig, what is the sweet spot for how the centering pin is set relative to the blade? Should the pin line up with the front of the teeth of the blade, or should it be in line with the middle of the blade?
