Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
I just posted a new video on Youtube to show you my last project. An innovative incremental jig that will allow me to cut circles safely and precisely on a band saw or router table.

Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
I've edited this video to show you how my new incremental circle jig works. By turning a threaded rod I can adjust the desired cutting radius. Each complete turn of the rod moves it 1 mm.
I marked the coupling nut with some numbers to use as a reference, but I can also adjust the cutting radius with the T-slot stop. This innovative circle jig will allow me to cut circles safely and precisely on a band saw or router table.

Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
I just posted a new video on Youtube to show you how to build my new DIY circle cutting jig that doesn't require you to drill the workpiece. I made an acrylic base to stick to the bottom of the workpiece to use as rotation axis. This way I was able to cut a round cutting board.

Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
Besides cutting circles on a band saw, my new incremental jig will allow me to do circular milling jobs with different router bits. I've edited this short video to showcase some examples!

Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
Quick and simple method to cut circles without the need for a center hole. I made a base with acrylic and stuck it to the bottom of the piece with double-sided tape.

Re: DIY Incremental Circle Jig
A few months ago I made this circle jig, and I've edited together a short video to show you how the incremental adjustment system works to adjust the cutting radius. For this system, I used a threaded rod and an aluminum plate. I haven't stopped using it since and it works great!
