Hi all,
A new file (translated in english by Ron / Allthunbs) is now on my french site: Lescopeaux.asso.fr at this adress:
http://www.lescopeaux.asso.fr/Techniques/clic.php3?url=Docs/Sante_Tripode_Anglais.pdf

This jig is named in french: "Compas Tripode".
It is simple to make (but complicated to translate - thanks Allthunbs !)
The first sentences of this file edited by Allthunbs is:
This is a jig for your router that will allow you to cut precision holes or make precision disks without blemishing the disk or the bounding workpiece. You do not drill a centre point. Instead, you can employ cross hairs to “set” your centre. Replace the cross hairs with your hole cutting disk and cut your circle. You can cut a circle from 0 to 280mm (0 - 11") in diameter. The radius or diameter can be set or adjusted on a scale. The jig is very accurate.


Cheers
Santé

Hello Daniel. Good to see you back. I hadn't seen you post for a while.

hi Charles,
Yes, there are two reasons why I'm no much in my shop, the first is that I am 80 years old. The second is the health of my wife who is disabled ..
But I look everyday "Router Forums!" (especially when there are photos! :sarcastic:)

I'm sorry to hear about your wife Daniel but it's good to know that you are out there watching.

Daniel, That is a really nice tool. I've wanted a way to do circles neatly and this has gotta be the best!
