Somewhere a machinist is crying after watching you scribe with the caliper. Good information, I think I may do that this weekend. Very glad I put off buying a circle jig now.
Even if She looks like a Shop teatcher i think its You thats is the teatcher ! Always the best and easy to understand videos, Prepering is the key to make nice and god jobs/parts , Actuly Bangin Restoring A 47 HUDSON PU , used the ruberband trick to make the middel pressing on the cab , the outher day Turnd out Awesome !! //Dan in Sweden.
Quick tip, drill a golf ball slightly smaller than the diameter of the end of your center punch. Press it on and you're gonna want to use your center punch for hours. They work great on old files with missing handles too.
It's ALWAYS helpful to have payed much attention in those annoying math classes. Fractions to decimal conversions get glued into your head and won't go away. Thanks for the great videos!
Great idea , actually I made one a year ago. I used a Cleco as my pivot point but I didn’t have a handle, great idea . Looking forward to Saturday night.
7/16", 7/8", Whatever it takes.... This was a particularly good video. Timely too, because I need to make what are called ttma flanges, used mostly on tank trucks. This neat little idea will make that quite a bit easier. Thanks, Karl!
Mate, I have just come across your channel. I own road trains in Aus and do heaps of my own maintenance work and have older trucks which are so hard to get brackets and such for.... definitely now an avid watcher of your channel tthanks for the tips!
Great work yet again, that finish the plasma gave was really smooth.. gives me a plan to invent an adjustable version possibly integrating a vernier slide ruler 🤔
I always appreciate your tip and technique videos because I always get an extra take away from them. I have seen so many different circle cutting jigs but this one is about the simplest and the quickest to make. Great video thank you for sharing your skills. You deserve so many more likes than you are getting.
12:48 I’m looking at that center ‘waste’ with a hole in it. Often, that is probably useful. Desirable even. But this gave me an awesome idea for a variation. I’m probably never going to want to (or need!) a cnc table - especially for the floorspace factor- but somewhat regularly I need to cut shapes, curves and circles. A modification of this basic idea combined with some woodworking tricks (my other income-producing fab skill) I do with a router and bandsaw will give this super powers.
Excellent and instructive video. I always learn great things from you! Despite this is not the purpose of your channel, I appreciate you consider safety aspects in all what you do.
Karl the circle cutting tool is a nice tool and seem pretty easy to make and use. Great idea Karl, keep up the great work you do. Thank you for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍
Loved the Japanese comment! There are so many tools out there to do this... and I have purchased none of them. Happily, yours can be made from scraps I have and you just proved for me that it is worth doing! Thankyou so much for another great video!
As usual, excellent video. Cheers to the Camera Christina! Great shots and production, and perfect ideas. I NEED a circle cutter for my little plasma cutter and will replicate yours.
Isn't it awesome when you've been doing something one way for a while...and it works...works pretty darn good actually and then you figure out one little thing that makes it work awesome? I turned 55 this past summer and I've been running into things like that a lot lately. In the past ten years that I've been working full time as a mechanic I've run into quite a lot of those situations where there was come little change in the process, some little change in the set up...etc and it went from working well to working awesome! Good thing because I'm way more forgetful now! lol Something needs to make up for the time I'm standing in front of the tool box thinking, "what the eff did I come over here for again?" LOL
Im now 73 and still having fun making things in my shop.I tell my wife,if i have hay u tube in my early days my progets would be something to brag about 🥴
I just made one of these. I’m making corners for my flat bed. Got the circles cut, both the easy and hard way. Works great! Thanks again for another great idea!
Karl, Thanks for sharing your ideas on the circle cutter. It works so well & so easy to cut perfect circles. As always , well explained , well filmed (Thank You Christina) , & an inexpensive self made tool. Looking forward to watching Metal Reborn this weekend Thanks again Karl for all you do & share with us. Stay Real Rick
