Router Circle Cutting Jig | Adjustable Circle Cutting Jig for Trim Router

Hi everyone! In this video I am making a router circle cutting jig. With this router guide you can make perfect circles. ► Subscribe to AllFlavor Workshop: This time I decided to build a router circle cutting jig. A trim router is a very useful and a handy tool in the workshop and a circle cutting jig is one of the basic tools for a router. In this video I am showing how to build such jig to make perfect circles. The circle jig has a measuring tape on the bottom. You can adjust the radius and make circles of different diameters - in this case min is 2cm & max 60cm. While making the circle cutting jig I let the slider get as close as possible to the router bit to be able to cut circles with a small diameter. I am very happy with the result. Save money and built this useful circle cutting jig yourself. It is a simple woodworking project and you’ll see how useful it is. Watch the entire video for a step by step guide how to build this router jig and make perfect circles in wood. ROUTER CIRCLE CUTTING JIG | ADJUSTABLE CIRCLE CUTTING JIG FOR TRIM ROUTER I started out by measuring the width of the router and cutting a slot in an MDF desk. I trimmed a bit right next to the slot as well for a metric ruler. After that I cut a slot in the Plywood desk creating a T-slot together with the MDF desk. I temporarily fixed the desks together using a double sided tape and cut off the excess of wood to make the jig lighter. The width of the MDF desk is 5 mm - not only the jig is lighter but also it does not take away much from the router bit and you’re able to cut as deep as possible. I marked where the bolts of the router are and drilled in holes from the bottom to sink them in completely. As for the adjustment mechanism I used a piece of plywood. Sanded it well from all slides so that it slides well in the MDF slot and fixed in a ⌀4 mm brass pin that serves as the pivoting pin. Tips: - Use a smooth thin MDF desk as base for the router circle jig. The jig slides smoothly on the surface while cutting - Let the slider as close as possible to the router bit to be able to make small radius circles TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Router circle jig demonstration 00:40 Designing and building router cutting jig 01:28 Making a groove for scale ruler 03:24 Cutting off wood excess 05:01 Drilling screws for trim router base 05:35 Making slider and adjusting mechanism 06:45 Fixing router desks together 07:44 Making a wooden knob 08:33 Assembling all parts together 09:27 Fixing the scale ruler 10:10 Cutting a circle with router jig MATERIAL USED: - Router - DeWALT D26203 - MDF desk (a x a x a cm) - Plywood desk () - ⌀6mm bolts, ⌀6mm router bit, ⌀4mm brass pin - Wood Glue, Epoxy Resin, Wood Screws, self adhesive metric scale ruler - Wooden Knobs - ► Check out some of the other projects as well: Make Adjustable Router Guide Jig | Perfect Dados & Grooves How To Make a Circular Saw Guide | DIY Circular Saw Track Old Putty Knife Into Kiridashi | Hand Tool Transformation ► Follow me on: Website - Pinterest - Instagram - If you have any thoughts or questions, let me know in the comments below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
