Go to a german forum, you'll get the old "A table saw under 5000€? Nah, that won't work...I see you don't have a formal aprenticeship, so fuck you, you have no business to do woodworking anyway."

[@tomjeffries58]

@@Hoodalump I'll stop immediately. Thank you.

[@josephhargrove4319]

I'll second the praise for Tamar and her 3x3 Custom channel. I find her videos easy to follow and understand. And her videos are full of practical information. You, she, and about 3 or 4 other woodworkers are the only woodworking KZbin presenters I follow on a regular basis. richard -- Believe those who are seeking the truth.

[@josejoakingallastegivilanu9475]

I just finished building the handrail on my deck kzbin.infoUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z and used this great little router to clean up the top rail before the final sanding and stain. It was light weight but packed lots of power. Either size battery didn't seem to make it top heavy and I'm a 64 yr old women so I really appreciated how easy it was to use...................... CORDLESS only way to go !!

[@HandyManDan723]

What are the odds I'm looking to cut circles to make some display bases for my wife, and your video shows up in my feed! Thank you for this and every other video, I've learned so much from you!

[@thatgirlisageek]

The method using the rabbeting bit is one I definitely hadn't seen before. Nice out of the box thinking especially for anyone that doesn't have many larger tools in their shop or if you need to expand an existing interior hole.

[@karenmitchell6814]

“An exterior hole”! That’s on a par with “thickni”! 😁

[@vikassm]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Excellent work on this one, Jonathan! This was perfect timing since I need to cut a circle this afternoon!

[@BiggMo]

Jonathan, thanks for taking the time to show us these options, it would have been very easy for you to have cut those on your CNC which most of us don’t have access to.

[@1jim1tenford70]

A big advantage to the table saw method is that if you tilt the blade you can get tapered edges on your circle - a trick I learned when making some bar stools.

[@vikassm]

Nice! Something I can certainly use, once I have a tablesaw again 😂😂

[@sailingeric]

I have used the router jig trick when making clocks. I cut about half way through the wood, cut close to the eadge the flush trim bit to clean up

[@BiggMo]

The Danny DeVito wearing the Katz-Moses apron in the background always cracks me up. Now he needs a Jimmy Kimmel in the background also

[@petermcmurray2807]

the table saw method will be great for me as I decided against a circle and want to do a 12 sided piece in clock form. Thank you

[@GetHandsDirty]

Very informative and well explained. I particularly enjoyed the last phrase about the motivation to get things done independently of what tools are at one’s disposal! The brain is the master tool. ;) Very cool and clever tips, Jonathan!

[@katzmosestools]

Thank you my friend!

Greetings from México to Portugal 😃 I always watch your videos. You are a talented and beautiful girl !!!

[@lindacurtis-smith9835]

Thank you! I've been practicing with my new palm router (DeWalt) cutting circles for elevated dog bowls. I've got a long way to go, but you helped with a kickstart. Good job teaching!

Very informative video. Thanks

[@chriskovaly6634]

Thanks! I used the table saw method, so straightforward and cool...

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome video, Jonathan! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@EvanDunville]

Awesome! I used a slightly fancier jig on the band saw to make my own dust fitting. I cut the od and then the ID and just glued the cut line between. It worked really well.

[@chetleonard169]

Great Tips Mr. Moses

[@CalebsFineWoodworking]

Great tips! I've always cut circles on my band saw, never knew you could do the same on the table saw.

[@donnygrahambuilds]

As always man - great, informative vid. Super appreciate all the good info!

[@troyclayton]

Thanks for the assortment of techniques. I just built a plywood router mount for my rotary tool (replacing the one I built far less well 30 years ago) and I wanted a circular base. I used the table saw method for the outside, then a hole saw on the inside. I used a sanding spindle to bring it out to the line. For rough holes I'll use a hole saw every time just for less wood turned to dust, and the cool circular offcuts always get used for something. I also used a hole saw to cut the height adjustment knobs.

[@garyhome7101]

Bought a roll of the double stick tape. Good video, thanks!

[@waelbu-holigah9308]

Thank you so much

[@mikemonks9497]

Quick tip re: double-stick tape. Only fight with the first piece. Instead of cutting the strip to length, peel it and leave the tail on for easy access the next time. You're welcome.

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@Floridamarty]

Thank you for all the info. I think #2, is the way for me. My problem is that I need a aprox 6" circle cut from 1/2" hdpe, but here's where it's gets complicated. I need to be able to trim the circle a very little at a time till it drops exactly into a pre existing hole I am trying to plug. I will be cutting it with a 1 or 2 degree angle so that it seals very well. The pre existing hole cannot be altered. Appreciate any advice.

[@GoSloSho]

2:55 "very" counter - 7 in 13 seconds 😂

[@johndyer1487]

Very nice! I tried a similar trick to what you did with the band saw but I only have a scroll saw. The issue I have is that the thin scroll blade would pull / walk causing the circle to be larger or smaller. Any thoughts on what I could do here with a scroll saw? FYI, I'm trying to cut 18" diameter circles our of 1/2" plywood for homemade concrete weights.

[@hansangb]

@7:52, check out Jodee of Inspire Woodcraft video on using double stick tape. You'll never have to fuss with trying get the backing peeled off. Saves so much frustration for folks like me w/ short short nails. And thanks for the trim router jigs. I'll be making one for my small router!

[@lisak1185]

If I want to make really small interior circles, like 3 inch, could I use the band saw method but use a scroll saw? That’s all I have.

[@stevemichaels7556]

Everyone shows how to cut circles out of 1/4 in or 3/4 in. What's your suggestion for cutting circles into 2x material? I've used a jigsaw but the cuts are never perpendicular to the top.

[@darrylportelli]

Another way that im using recently , not only for cirlces but for any imaginable shape , is to 3d print a pattern and use a flush trim bit ..... Obviously you'd have to have a 3d printer but if you happen to have one its amazing what you can do for a woodworking shop with it

[@telosfd]

I am looking to make a circle cut on half depth and then the same thing, on the round cover of the circle hole. Any idea?

[@barryreid2467]

Jonathan, just got the dovetail alignment board, - excellent service by the way!! Only ordered on the 7th!! But how do I put it together? Just glue and clamps, glue and pinned? Screwed? Help please lol thanks B

[@multidinero]

There’s actually a Diablo hole saw for 3 5/8 inches. As well as a Milwaukee variant. I own both.

[@katzmosestools]

That's funny. Point is you can dial in any hole to the 1/16 with that technique.

[@multidinero]

@@katzmosestools I wasn’t trying to contradict your point, sir. Just wanted to say that the size does exist. Your point is 100% valid.

[@user-ip3yw8hc1k]

👏👏👏👍

[@shootygames6175]

Did this in class for math assignments and the circle was so perfect they thought I was too smart and kicked me out for some reason. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@TimeLapseRich]

I did a 48-inch circle on the table saw once, made a cat running wheel.

[@kiwi-iu1ny]

Another way is to use an adjustable circle cutter in your stationary drill stand. But do not use one of the cheap $10 ones. I had good results with a Star-M circle cutter. Believe it's japanese. Only problems is the hole in the middle

[@williamellis8993]

I've also seen a table top cut without a hole by starting with the tape and spacer method. About halfway through, a saber saw was used to cut away most of the waste and then a pattern bit or flush trim bit was used to finalize the circle.
