Hi Derek Very nice jig  I use the hole saws for making yo-yo's and wheels ,the other jig is for sanding them smooth, (hole saw) it putts the hole in on dead center in one shot thing.. Plus using flat stock ,gives you a less of a chance of splitting the stock once you cut the wheel/yo-yo to size.(wood grain thing) ========= Quote:

A hole saw would not put a round over on the outer face of my Yo-Yo's, and drilling central is no bother at all with another jig, and a depth guage because the hole must not go right through. Yes, a hole saw is very handy for cutting wheels.

Hi derek I use the bits below to put the round over on b/4 I use the hole saw. A wooden dowel with wooden end caps work well for yo-yo's ,keeps all the parts true and on center.. ======== Quote:

Good enough idea, I suppose, but not for me when I needed forty of them, I just stood the dowel up in the vice, and used the router and a round-over bit, then cut off, just a few minutes each. I would have thought that in this day and age, expansion bits are a little old hat you know, when we have all the other technology, of which you are well aware, and in any case they would leve a hole right through which i am trying hard to avoid.

That's a great idea. The same jig could be used for smaller or larger diameters as well. It could also be used on the drill press for drilling into the side of a dowel....although I guess you don't need that when making yo yo's

Hi Derek Yep they are old tech. but some of the old tools work well for today's jobs.. You could use rosette cutters,and you would have no hole in the center but you get the round over with one cutter and make both parts at one time so to say,stick 1/2" thick stock together,do one side and flip it over split it and you have both parts to the yo-yo's that are matched.. Grizzly.comŽ -- Search Results But I'm sure you like doing it your way it's just one more way I have done it from the old toy maker in the states = Quote:

A very simple yet elegant jig Derek. Now now BJ, please don't become one eyed about one particular method, one such member is enough. You of all people know that there's more than one way to skin a cat.
__________________ Harry The best advice that I can give a newcomer to routing is, learn to use the router mounted, this can be as simple as a board held in a vice, with the router firmly attached and a simple fence held with clamps, and when he/she feels competant and confident in it's use and is familiar with all aspects of safety, THEN, and only then proceed to learn how to use the router hand held. This is MY opinion, and may or may not coincide with that of the forum management, but is based on a lifetime of woodworking. http://members.dodo.com.au/~sharry02/ | ||
