The ONLY bandsaw circle cutting jig that fits EVERY NEED!

I built a version of your circle cutting jig and it works amazingly well! Thanks for the video! My version has 4 changes that I think improved utility: - I made the center adjustin knob less than 1/2" tall. Then I only drilled 1/2" through the donut. This change provided more surface area for double stick tape. - I used a MATCHFIT Dovetail Track Hardware® nut to help prevent maring of the dovetail track when the center knob is tightened - I extended my sled to the back of the bandsaw table where I put a stop that wraps around to the bottom of the table. This prevents tipping of the jig whe cutteing large circles. - My cut-depth stop is a full 3/4 thick and extends all the way to the bottom of the table. Thiss allowed me to use a threaded insert and a knob (or just a bolt) to act as a depth adjuster so that i can fine tune the depth of cut in case the saw blade shifts when it's replaced. To make room for the adjuster the base of the jig has to be ~1/2 inch wider than the table and the dovetail track need to be cut 1/4" behind the blade edge.. I also added two nuts on either side of the stop to make sure the adjustment doesn't change accidentally.

The best jig I have ever seen for cutting circles. I love the concept making circles without a hole. Great!

Clever idea. Nice work!

Who in their right mind would dislike this great idea. Excellent use of gray matter!! Excellent job!

I love how you made one that doesn't leave a mark or hole on one side of the wood - most do. Great job.

Great idea. Just what I was thinking of designing myself. You saved me so much time, trial and error with this video. I think one way to handle the stability would be to use a Rockler Universal Fence Clamp on the end to the left of the blade. You could also make it longer on that end and use a 'T' bolt in the other miter slot to hold it down similarly to the way feather boards are secured. Or perhaps even rig up a magswitch to hold it down. I already have the Rockler clamps, so may go that route.

Went ahead and made this jig with two mods. Cut a T slot instead of dovetail, and extended the base to use both tracks on my bandsaw table. Great video, great jig. Works great.

I can’t tell you how excited I am. I just ordered a new 17” bandsaw yesterday and this will be one of my first jigs. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, I've had this video bookmarked for a while now as I was very impressed with the concept. Having just bought larger bandsaw and now being under lockdown due to the Corona Virus in the UK.I Have just completed the project! Had to make a few mods on the way to suit what I had available but still very impressed.

Haven't gotten a bandsaw as of yet but curiosity for this jig led me in. Coincidentally was watching an unrelated build video where the piece was secured with several screws. Brilliant thinking "around" that problem. Saving this video and subscribing.

Great idea! The advantage is no hole on the round piece when finished. In addition, much more accuracy and almost no tear out!Thanks!

Great job. I just started thinking how to do it, and here is your video. Special thanks for the mounting method in the center of the circle, without drilling details. I myself could not guess. I need it. Большое спасибо.

Brilliant, this is the best thing I've ever seen!. And for the wobble when you are cutting larger pieces make extend the jig and add a second connection in the other track to lock it down then you don't have to add a leg to support it.

I saw this a couple of months ago, subscribed and bookmarked it. Of the many I've bookmarked, this is by far the very best. Well Done!

You sir are looking in too my future! I have saved this because I intend to begin manufacturing a product that will need circles. Now I am not a woodworker hence why I am watching you and so I had no idea at all about any circle problems and now (thanks to you) I have the solution before I even encounter the problem!! Thanks Bob

Most useful jig I've seen as far as simple to make and use. Huge thumbs up! Thanks!

I like your approach on this. On mine I added an adjustment to the front stop so the sled can be moved back or forward for blade alignment. Your overall design is superior to the jig I use now so I may have to build another based on yours. Thanks for sharing.

such a great tutorial-- i doubted myself, but viewed this many times and had the confidence to try it and it was easier than i thought- and i not only was able to build the jig, but i created a stunning round jewel box for my wife-- i really appreciate the time you took to educate me - thank you.

Ran into the circle cutting challenge last night. I knew I watched this video a few years ago. Building this next. Thank you for sharing your design and how it works!!

Great idea. The best best circular jig I’ve seen so far. The whole was always a problem. Best regards, Richard
