After trying to free hand cut a circle on my bandsaw I thought to myself that there has to be something better. Found your video and looks so simple to make being you took your time and explained everything. I headed to my very small work shop to make this jig. I'm making mine out of MDF. I think I'm going to use pins instead of a screw. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time to put this up. I'm going to have a go at this.

Thanks. It's not perfect, but so far it works pretty well.

Had you left that back corner on your base, you would have had a zero clearance saw plate to prevent tear out on the work piece. Your 1 inch (radius) marks are actually 2 inch marks (diameter).

Perfect! Thank you. A question- has the ‘screw pin’ ever bitten in to the wood and changed the pattern? Might a straight pin work better, or is that just overthinking?

@BitsandWood 5 лет назад

So far everything I’ve cut was going to get scooped out in that side so I haven’t worried about it. A straight pin might be a nice improvement.

Nifty

I would have liked to know what the actual measurement was after cutting out the circle. I suspect that it would not have been what you were after. Should have cut a test piece first. Nice video though.

Thanks. That round ended up at 14-1/2" inches across. It's going to be a seat for a shop stool if I ever come up with a leg configuration I'm happy with. I'd really like to finish that up and get a video posted sometime this fall.

Pretty good video all but the loud, blaring effects music

Does it matter how wide the blade is. ??

@BitsandWood 3 года назад

As long as the minimum radius the blade is capable of is smaller than the radius you are cutting, no. I mostly cut larger circles like what I did in the video so I can pretty much cut anything I need with a 3/8” or 1/2” blade.
