Homemade circle jig for plasma oxy cutter invention tool
I decided to build me a homemade tool invention which is a quick circle jig for my Powermax45 plasma and oxy cutter. I am cutting out some lids for some small BBQ grills as a test. The circle jig invention tool works great when doing lots of cuts as it holds the size once the nuts is tightened up. This invention seems to do the proper job and will be added to my tool box of homemade tools The Circle Jig tool could also work with a oxy cutting torch with minimal modification. This invention / tool is something to add to my Plasma Cutter tips and tricks. The circle jig tool can be made for under $14.
$5 Magnet'
$3 All Thread 1/2"
$4 Hex nuts 3pc
$1 Bolt, Washer and Nut
Have fun and be safe.
I could not find the exact model of magnet but here are some similar ones that could work.

Here is a quick video I did today on a circle jig. I always wanted to build one and decided to attempt a simple adjustable jig. Total price in parts under $14.

Donde compro el imán ? Where did u get the magnet

@robertlaw8510 Год назад

Thank you. You have made a very good circle jig. When the weather gets a bit warmer here I'm going to make one for myself. It looks to be the easiest circle jig to make that doesn't leave a hole.

Great guide. I'm gonna use your version. I'm cutting 16 dia x 1/4 circle plates for a smoker pit. Then on to 22 dia. Thanks for posting

@PRR5406 2 года назад

This is the best home built circle device I've seen thus far.

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

This has worked great for me and there is so many designs I have seen over the years. I actually used the circles I cut out for a stand for my Wilton Vise last week or so.

@virgiltoepfer7087 2 года назад

You did awesome. To help line up your magnet mark center line on your plate then what ever the diameter the magnet is draw a circle to help set it in place. Nice job on video!

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

Awesome tip. We learn stuff every day so I appreciate the ideas and comments. I'm always building stuff so hopefully I can bring more videos this year.

@mattcrowell7945 2 года назад

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

Thanks for liking. This was a quick design and could do some changes on version 2. I need a set screw or 2 to hold the torch in place and centered.

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

It makes cutting circles faster especially when cutting several the same size. I ran out of consumables for the plasma cutter so only made these for the 13" bbq grill to come.

@hubertrobinson8825 3 года назад

Awesome is all I can say

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

Thanks. Sometime we just need to be a little creative because some kits are very expensive. I have seen some circle cutter on ebay starting at $50 but this was cheaper lol.

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

Thanks. It's a quick setup I threw together to get some material cut. It's not 100% accurate as I need to apply some adjustments screws to remove the slack on pipe holding torch.

Ordered the magnet going to build one

@Paulman50 3 года назад

That's brilliant. I'll have to knock one of those up for myself. I haven't tried my new plasma cutter yet.

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

What plasma cutter did you get? I got some consumables for my powermax45 ( China clones) and they lasted a whopping 8 inchs or so each. Ebay had them for half the price so bought 3 sets of trash.

@shaunoneill3727 3 года назад

Very clever

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

It works great for my application and could use some tweaking for more accurate results. I would probably apply some bolts to apply pressure to plasma cutter torch so it won't wobble much.

@stihlpancakes661 11 месяцев назад

Im guessing your tacks are with fluxcore, due to no gas nozzle. Are you able to run a bead without the nozzle? I can see that saving some money in a pinch.

@Tanhands36 3 года назад

Nice video. Do you have the magnet marked for center or how are you finding center of circle?

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

I measure from center of pipe to center of nut for my circle cutouts. I might try a diffrent version later since I built this for some cutouts I needed.

@markchamberlin7554 3 года назад

I made this at work, while watching your video. Everything worked fine till I turned on the plasma cutter. The pipe head caught some slag and the magnet moved off center. So question what is the magnets strength? I'm using a 95lbs magnet.

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

I think my magnet is also rated at 95lbs. I haven't had issues with my magnet moving and have done 6 circle cutouts only. I haven't worked on projects after getting sick but might use it again with the new plasma cutter that I will give away.

@markchamberlin7554 3 года назад

@@cutweldngrind i upgraded my all thread to 1/2, also a bigger magnet but with the same amount lbs rating. One last thing and perhaps I didn't catch it during the video, I raised the cup off the table and now only my plasma head touches the metal. everything works great. Thank you.

@darylkaufman9142 3 года назад

What size threaded rod did you use 3/8? Nice set up going to build one!

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

I used 1/2" threaded rod because I had some 1/2" nuts in the tool box that would work for this application. My plasma cutter torch has a ceramic head so I did not put screws to hold torch tight onto pipe I used. So if you want to get better results try adding screws to hold plasma torch in place.

@gregmccarter2176 Год назад

1/2" is exactly what I'm going to use..I have a bunch of it

@rogertaylor8615 Год назад

Is that a drag tip or pilot arc

@cutweldngrind Год назад

The powermax45 is a pilot arc plasma cutter. The shield on it are made for drag cutting from what I was told years ago. I also have shields for gouging which I don't recall if I ever tried it. I haven't really done much in the past 3 months with any or my cutters.

@rogertaylor8615 Год назад

I was asking because I wondered how high it was off of the metal or if it was just dragging on the metal

@kehindeoluwatosinchanges4605 3 года назад

Which welder are you using? Flux core (without gas)?

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

I usually use Flux wire on the Titanium MiG 140 from Harbor Freight and my Hobart Champion Elite arc welder. I had planned to buy a tank for the MiG but I really need a shop to store all my tools and projects.

@larrylingle7493 2 года назад

Where did you buy the magnet?

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

I get the magnets on Ebay, Harbor Freight or Ace Hardware. I think this magnet was rated at 90lbs or so which seems to be a good rating to hold it in place.

@jessndam06 2 года назад

Where did you buy that steel sheet?

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

@bricoletout1 2 года назад

Great job, now I have found the way to make my own. Just a question… is your welder using gas or not ? Thanks in advance

@cutweldngrind 2 года назад

My Mig welders are using flux wire and maybe once I run out I will switch to gas. I actually need a shop to store my welders out of the elements so hope I can build something soon.

No your supposed to go to a welding shop and spend 300 dollars what are doing you aren't listening to the system

@cutweldngrind 3 года назад

My local shop will probably charge and extra 20% lol. I can but a 1x1 square tubing by 3/16 wall thickness from the city and even pay $30 delivery and still save money from my town welding supplier.
