This week I'm making a circle cutting jig on the cheap. I really needed to cut a Stabilized maple burl cap into a perfect circle to fit into a pvc pipe for a resin casting project I had coming up. I looked around the shop and came up with scrap materials to build this cheap circle cutting jig. This is super easy, but most band saws are not exactly the same as this , so you will just have to adapt what I did in this video to your jig. I do lots of resin casting, but I always find a way to incorporate woodworking.

I went with a slightly larger screw in my t-track though so once cut, I can screw it directly in to a worm wood screw

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

That’s a great idea. Thank you for watching Rich! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

@LarryDMitchell 2 года назад

I like the simplicity, ease of use and functionality of this jig. I just received some rough wood and need to get a batch ready for bowls and this will do just the trick. No bells, whistles or extraneous lights and sounds...just get'r done!

@samswoodshop9937 Год назад

Jake instead of the T track make the slot wider and use a floating circle and double sided tape then no need for holes. there is a you tube video on that circle jig, sorry I did not remember the site, I'll look and get back with you. I like your work.

@JakeThompson Год назад

Thanks Sam . Pretty smart

@jencstephens5452 3 года назад

@eddieagha5851 3 года назад

Great idea Jake, using the T-Track upside-down! For my "pin" I use a 5/16" treaded rod cut from any bolt that screws into a female 5/16" insert set into the slider. That way I can make the "pin" pointy or flat, depending on the size of the blank I'm cutting. For a bowl blank I just drill 5/16" hole and use a flat topped pin screwed into the insert. Allows for cutting much heavier pieces. I made a dovetail slider. Much more complicated than your T-Track. I wish I'd thought of that! BTW you can turn your T-Track around 180 degrees and cut a much larger circle!

@mikewickham1767 3 года назад

I made one of these some time a go, and it works great. I had pre-drilled holes and a nail to place the timber on, but the T-track idea is so much better. Thanks.

Hi Jake...great jig for turners...dont know if you do any flat work...Judy at Inspire Woodworks made a nice one that doesn't need a hole in the piece like a table top.. really look forward to your videos...stay safe buddy...press on 😎

Thank you.. I’m glad you enjoy the videos.. plenty more to come.

@gordroberts53 3 года назад

Hi Jake. This popped up on my notifications today and happy it did. I made something similar several years ago but my slider was a modified French cleat. Using the T-track is brilliant, will be reworking mine but will epoxy a roofing nail (generally 1/8" diam) instead of the self tapper. Great job thanks for sharing!

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

Thank you Gord.. that’s the beauty of these kind of things.. no one is right or wrong.. but I like to see the different ideas come out of theses types of projects. 👍👍

I’m making wood rounds for resin art and this is a great way to get it done! Thanks for the measurements of how wide .. 22” is pretty good sized. Can’t wait to see what ya do with the round burl! Cheers 🥂

Jake. Have you ever made a segmented jig for the band saw? Good job on this

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

Thank you Mark.. I haven’t made one but it’s a good idea.

@sakaj 3 года назад

Different take to circle jig. I made one about a month back. I used metal T track in guide where you used wood with wooden stop for bandsaw table. Where you mortised out area where you put your metal T track , I just marked a hole every inch perpendicular to bandsaw blade and used a 3/8 inch drill bit and drilled 1/2 inch deep. Plywood was 3/4 thick. I cut a small piece df 3/8 in dowel that can be inserted into hole . Drilled 3/8 in hole in Burl to fit wooden dowel and based on circumference I wanted just move down in one inch increments till I have the circumference I need for burl and inserted into hole I drilled. The 3/8 inch hole in Burl also will accept worm screw on Burl if I need to to turn on lathe. My overall length was 14 inches. The 3/8 dowel was couple bucks and plywood was about 6 bucks and T track was about 5 bucks. Nice job 👍.

Looks a lot like the jig I built (10 years ago!). Only real difference is mine has a 1/4"x20 tpi x 1/2" long bolt for a pivot pin. Always intended to make a nicer version of ... just haven't seen the need to yet.

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

@LouAdzima 3 года назад

I like the metal slide idea very good. I take it that the resin won't stick to the PCP pipe???

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

I use mold release inside the pvc.. it works pretty well....... most of the time.. 😂

@allanmoulton3745 3 года назад

If you put the screw in the outside end of the track, you can double your cutting radius.

Jake thank you for sharing the jig video, my 1953 Delta Homecraft 10"band saw has No slot in the table is there a way to make a circle jig for it ????

@JakeThompson 3 года назад

@paulhawvermale1606 6 месяцев назад

Can you tilt the table so one can put an angle on edge of disc?

My table does tilt.

Oh man, im so unhappy with Jet customer service right now. My 18" jet bandsaw murdered itself. Spindle from drive pulley just completely sheared in half. A 1" thick solid steel "pin" shouldnt break in half from rotational force! Sorry to unload.... the jig is awesome. Nice take on it

Hey Jake, meant to ask, the scores on the wall in the workshop, what are they? And what is the significance of them? Not high enough for basketball, so either baseball or American football I think.
