adjustable circle jig suggestion

Keep it simple. Many folks use something like this here If you end up doing a lot of circles a more elaborate one can be made or bought

I suppose that design would work. Just making different pivot points as needed.

As you said, until I need it more than the initial few circles.

Thanks

It is easy to make a simple circle jig. There are many posts on the forum and youtube on various designs.

At that price range, I don't see much reason to make my own (multiple times over the years). I should just get the 200J.

Just what kind of info i needed. Thanks!

In the first video that jig will cut a circle down to 1/2 inch in diameter, if you are very careful and modify it a little. I made that or one similar and it works very well. Just my two cents.

Making your own from masonite IS pretty easy. But I had more money than time.

I was the same, Tom, when I was working....LOL.

Now retired, so have more time than money.

I, at the time, purchased 2 Jasper jigs, an Oak Park jig, a Rockler? circle jig and an elipse jig......(and also made at least one like the one @harrysin demonstated)))

I've got a couple router tables, and more than a couple routers. I also have a bandsaw and have always made perfect circles with a simple fixture slid onto and clamped to the bandsaw table. A stick to hold up the outboard end. I made a nearly matching fixture that could then spin to sand the same circle edge on my disk sander. Not always needed as the bandsaw blade and a slow steady feed could usually make a nice smooth edge.
