The best circle jig so far!

[@robslifting4life]

Everything this guy makes is just.... So crispy and clean. My kind.

You have given me "The Guilts" again! A couple of years back I made a trial version of a similar jig... I never did make the finished version. One feature I added was an adjustable stop that contacted the edge of the bandsaw table when the workpiece was in the correct position to begin rotating it. It performed the same function as the T-slot stop in your design, but because it is part of the jig, it retains it's correct setting and does not require adjusting every time the jig is used. Should I ever make the final version, this stop would be retractable to allow use on my router table; as it is now I have to unscrew it, and it loses it's accuracy. I envy the stunning finishes you achieve. Using your creations to make more creations must be immensly satisfying. 😃 Thank's again for sharing them with us all.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks for sharing your experience Pete!

[@TheHighpotinuse]

I really like how you marked the screw with numbers so you know how far you have turned it. Great idea.

You always leave me speechless with what you are capable of doing. Greetings from Caracas/Venezuela

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

Excellent!! This appears much safer and a great deal more precise for cutting circles. Can't wait for the next videos showing the jig in action and how it's built.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks Mike!

[@makernova8160]

This is great! I made a really rudimentary version of a circle jig and used it on my table saw years ago. Needless to say I'm never using that jig again as it was a bit dangerous. This looks much safer! Also, I made a slightly scaled down version of your modular workbench and it turned out great! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! I would like to see pics of your workbench

An outstanding jig. Good job!

Thank you very much!

Great video of the bandsaw / router jig Suso! Thank you for always sharing with us!💖👍😎JP

[@jimh472]

Once again you have astounded me with your ingenuity.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

Excellent tool. Cutting straight and corners is one thing but circles is a challenge with other setups. This would simplify some of them. I love it already ☺️

[@sanyoshovah2887]

Well hello good sir. Love your stuff. About to build 2 small modular benches and the large tablesaw workbench. Looking forward to it

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! send me some photo please

The headless bolts, are called Alan Screws Pao. As always good seeing your work!

[@robertling9872]

Beautiful and smart design 👍

[@Flyfishing57]

Very Nice Paoson, I wish I had something like that 40 years ago when I was refinishing table tops

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

Thanks 👍

[@Sebastopolmark]

Yet another genius project! !! !!!

[@xronisdimopulos4147]

Έκανες καταπληκτική δουλειά και πάλι, συγχαρητήρια!!!!

[@gdonham1203]

Very nice. I bought the MicroJig Dovetail clamps and am going to incorporate them into several jigs I need to build. Good work.

[@barry.w.christie]

What a brilliant jig, I especially like the various suggestions on how to use it ... fantastic. Please do not take this as a criticism of your work, as usual the amount of thought and workmanship that goes into your work is readily apparent ... but below I've suggested a method of making an already fantastic jig into something even better 👍 I love the idea of the precision part of the jig, but it makes doing large adjustments (from minimum to maximum size) a complete and utter pain unless you use a drill! If you had the rotation axis block attached to the end of the threaded rod and a mechanism using a split connector nut, placed on the outer edge of the jig, then you could ... - 1) disengage the nut so that the threaded rod (and the rotation axis block) could be moved in/out to the rough position quickly and easily - 2) engage the nut so that the threaded rod can be used for fine adjustment adjustment as per your design Only downside with my suggestion is that the rod would stick out more and more as you increase the radius of the part being worked on!

[@WoodworkJourney]

This is excellent! Much better than the scrap efforts I’ve ever made. Looks like I need to get some T track 😂

[@Toyotajunkie]

That's pretty cool! I would still be afraid of it catching and coming off the pin while routing. What about an adjustable "roller" clamp somewhere on the track/jig? Something to apply medium pressure and keep the work piece a bit more "stable." Just a thought. I still think it is a very good idea!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks! I thought about that! If you are going to make the circular piece on the router table then I think it would be necessary. But if you first use the band saw and you are only going to mill about 2 or 3mm I think it is not necessary.

[@Toyotajunkie]

@@Paoson_Woodworking Good example. That completely makes sense. If you are only taking off a very small amount of material, that risk is also very minimal. Thanks for "reminding" me of that!

[@tektrixter]

Normally hand pressure would be enough, but a few sandbags would be a good idea in case you need to let go. I don't know that a rolling wheel would be any safer.

[@homemadetools]

Nice work as usual. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@BStride]

This looks great, clean cuts as well and looks steadier than what I have used many times in the past

[@timothyeliason8844]

I am inspired by your skill and ingenuity!

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

thanks!

[@markhedquist9597]

Well, another super-duper precision jig. As always, your work is impeccable. To me, it looks like you are setting up for a large build of some sort by making this jig. Hoping to see a mega-project soon!

[@oldtimer970]

Damn! That looks like the Millenium Falcon!

[@angel1138thx]

Genial como siempre Paoson, gracias por el video.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

gracias a ti por comentar siempre Angel!

[@monkeysausageclub]

You could add a tape next to the rod to give you a quick guide to circle centre.

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

it's a good idea, thanks!

[@GNU_Linux_for_good]

gracias como siempre compañero!

[@mukwevhophathutshedzo1646]

Wow, such a nice project. Hey have a suggestion here, can't you challenge us and make a compound sliding mitre saw, I've never seen anyone done such

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

Thanks for the idea!

[@mukwevhophathutshedzo1646]

I know you can't fail making it since you've made that extremely difficult x-motion mortiser which even uses a relatively small parts that are not that easy to work with. The miter saws we see here are for people who are lefthanded and hence are not safe for the right-handed ones. That happens because they use angle grinders and circular saws and their motor are not meant for cutting on the cutter's direction and it's difficult for them to reverse the motor

[@martinwolf5957]

Awesome great Job. 👍🏻💪🏻🙋‍♂️

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

Thanks 👍

[@clydedecker765]

Another outstanding tool design and execution. Thank you. One thing you did not show clearly was retracting the work piece when you have completed the operation (i.e. away from the router bit/saw blade.) I assume it involves releasing the clamp and pulling the piece back?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

hi Clyde, you just have to turn the threaded rod in the opposite direction, it is very easy and comfortable!

[@Habibulla.M]

Nice making

[@rockekoreis3160]

Thanks!

[@lightmooner]

Could this still be done using regular t track nut, or you really need to machine it like you did?

You use a lot of baltic birch in your projects. Given how hard it is to get and how pricey it has become this last year, do you have any alternatives to baltic birch you can recommend?

[@Paoson_Woodworking]

pine plywood, or poplar plywood

You're cutting the wrong way on the router ,rotation should be against cutter rotation
