I'm too cheap. I've just got a chunk of poplar (1/2 in thick- 4 inch wide) with a hole for a 1-1/8 inch template guide. Probably has 10 different pivot points for the circles I cut most often. The 1/2 inch thickness works out nice, since for holes smaller than the diameter of the base of the router, I can drive a pin into the work piece, set the compass on the pin, then set the router into the compass.
I like using a template guide instead of bolting the router to the jig so I can change back and forth quickly between different routing jobs.
