This works great on a bandsaw and you can make slanted stackable rings that can be glued up and turn bowls out of on a lathe.

@Rabbit Snare its not any dangerous then any other jig. honestly, the table saw is an all around dangerous machine. use it with caution. you are right though. there are safer ways to make a circle. Like a router or a bandsaw jig. but this video is showing how to do it on a table saw.

Since not everyone wants a large hole in the back you could easily plug the hole with the same size peg (and glue) and sand it down.

@KevinCoop15 жыл бұрын
Just a thought, you could add a second row of holes in the jig for odd dimensioned circles as 5,7,9, etc.
@WesHamstra5 жыл бұрын
Kevin Coop yep. Could drill the holes on 1/2” in between each one for the odd number sizes

Wes Hamstra I was thinking possibly too close to each other is why you didn't drill them in. Either way, more choices.😊

fislee there is no need to remove the riving knife. I would have left mine on but I have a thin kerf diablo blade in my table saw and it doesnt allow me to use my riving knife.

Nice jig, but why not put a router bit in your drill press instead of using your table saw? Much safer. You seem to be very relaxed about safety and that's fine but on video to show beginners maybe put on some goggles at least?
@julieb.99113 ай бұрын
Several woodworkers who compare different methods of making circles prefer the table saw method. I’ve watched many vids about circle cutting but I don’t understand how cutting 30” circles on a drill press platform is safer. Set-up must take a lot. Wes, your jig is the best circle jig I’ve seen. I’ve made and tried similar ones but I’m making this one tomorrow!
