I review my two bandsaw jigs that I use in woodturning, a circle cutting jig (for bowls) and a log sled (for making odd-shaped pieces manageable on the saw).

Thanks. I was getting ready to actually buy a circle cutter when I ran across your design. Seems simple enoigh to replicate. I love it.

I'm often turning bigger blanks than that which needed a lot of support to stop the jig lifting . I solved that by extending the inside edge the base passed the band saw base and added toggles underneath the inward edge of my circle jig to stop it lifting and supporting heavy logs better.

I feel that I should submit a comment because ... I am also a woodturner. Wish I was as young as you. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for sharing that, David. Simple accurate without the over design of so many other jigs. If you make yourself a plexiglas/perspex circle marker and mark off the same distances on your jig your system would be really fast and efficient. I look forward to seeing more of your videos, take care and keep safe in every sense.

I was looking for how you cut/attach the sliding pin.

Great video. Where did you buy the miter slot bar?

What blade do you use? I just got a 1 1/2hp powermatic and the blade I have cuts very slow.

Great designs! Have you tried to cross cut large 10 to 12 inch cookies? How did it go? What are the gotchas?

Great idea love the vid. simple and concise. Is the pivot pin centered on the center of the bandsaw blade?
@DavidPx2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! The pin is centered on the teeth rather than the blade. That position seemed to bind less.

Hi David .Great video. What bandsaw do you use? Is it a Laguna? Some woodturners don't recommend it because of the ceramic guides.I want to buy one and I am confused.

Unfortunately you drilled the worm screw hole on the wrong side of the board. By the time you hollowed out the bowl the beautiful crotch grain was all in the shavings on the floor! Good video otherwise, lots of food for thought. Thanks.

Thanks David, in the piece in the video all the crotch grain was on one side and the other side was plain. This is normal. The crotch figure only exists in the middle of the log where the pith of the side branch joins the trunk of the tree. So the wormscrew should go on the side nearest the bark and when hollowed out you expose the crotch grain in the bottom of the bowl and on the outside of the base. If the log is split on the centre line of the branch and of the trunk, it should expose crotch on each half, bookmatched. Kevin
