How to make a large circle jig quick & easy | Router Tips

That's a huge circle with a tiny face in the middle of it

Can you give the specs on that router and what size and type of bit you're using?

After cut circle i want to cut a half inch bigger circle outside but in half depth! The point is how. Thanks for tutorial.

Thanks! Worked great! You got me thinking! I actually used some machine screws directly into the router!

Woodprix has very good and accurate plans.

Woodglut has a lot of designs to choose from.

Thanks for posting this!!!!

What kind of Router?

Nice and easy thanks.

I did it about three weeks ago. I learned a lot about it on the Stodoys website. Check.

Can you tell me what router you use? Any recommendations?

Whoa😳! I read the Title wrong. Thought it said “ Easy Circle Jerk”, LOL 😂. Anyhow, juking aside; great vid, great tip👍🏽, awesome circle-jig

Good Video - I was able to make this in less then 30 mins and the results were excellent. Thanks again.

What's the name of the bit your using?

Hey Alex,
Nice job! I was playing with the same Idea, but Iw wasn't sure if my milling bit would be able to cope. which one is yours?
Thanks,
Olivier

So simple and so cool!

The rig is perfect. Works like a charm. What type of bit did you use to make such a clean cut? I used a brand new bit on my router and I ended up with really rough edges.

great video. exactly what I needed to watch.

darn good and easy, cheap. t.y.  :)

What kind of bit did you use? Like an upcut spiral?

hello. what router bit are you using please?

How would you make smaller circles

What bit do you use to cut the actual circle? I’ve been using my scroll saw to cut circles and this just looks so much easier

I'm sure you can find awesome woodworking plans on woodprix website

Probably a really dumb question but.. Did you just use a nail in the middle??

Do you think you could use this same concept but with an electric drill? :)

Nice and simple. Thank You!

Im doing this!

Thanks Alex, what bit are you using to cut through?

What bit are you using?

what type of bit did you use to make the circle?

Nice and simple! Great idea.

wow! good! thanks

Thanks for your very practical and to-the-point explanation. Worked like a charm. Made myself a perfect circle for a table I'm building.

OMG - get the bloody cable up and out of the way!!!

The way you measured your 36 minus 2*drill bit diameter right? Thanks for the video

so is this good to buy if u have a jigsaw hope I spell it rite

Can you please give me the list of tools to learn how to cut a round circle on the drafting desk. Because I'm trying to buy a drafting disk animators that Walt Disney animators use back in the days.

If you have a look at Hyezmar’s design in his Woodworking Bible, you can get a great alternative design for this.

THank you so much! I work at a Mill Shop and I got the job by accident because the other millright had a slight table saw accident, (he no longer works at this type of job). I just got the order to cut a 8 foot table circle in 2 halves and have never done it before. Your video saved my ASS. I wish I would have had more wood experience when I started this job, but I did not know the difference between vg hemlock and Fir. Please make more videos for us wood challenged, moped experts. Thanks again. Randy RH DSD

Good video, your dust extraction a little like mine today making wagon wheels. I'm like you and make my jigs. I made up my wagon wheels and then roughly cut the outer circle with my jig saw. Then grabbed my festool router, stuck in onto a jig about the same as yours, 3 cuts and perfect. Thanks for your time and love your laid back style.

what do you do about the hole in the middle?

What kind of bit did you use? Think I need to make my self one of these.
