I just watched 10 different ways to cut a perfect circle in a piece of plywood. This is by far the fastest, easiest and safest way to get the job done. Thank you
Just a few things to consider here. 1) you need to have a good, straight jig saw which is adjusted spot on perfect, and new blade, otherwise the blade will pull to one side or the other, and screw it all up. 2) this would be better setup to cut in a clockwise circle, as cutting counter clockwise will tend to make the screw in the center back out.... or, use a crew with the top portion having no threads.
To make this work without the blade drifting, bending, burning up or breaking. The individual center mark holes, NEED to be lined up with the cutting edge of the blade. Otherwise, the blade will begin to bend as you go along and end up burning it up or breaking the blade, and end up with a non perfect circle that has a beveled edge.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! Really helpful! A tip for future users; one problem I ran into was the not following of the circle by the jigsaw. The solution was the combination of using a heavier blade and pushing the jigsaw down firmly.
Nice idea, I do my circles using a router the same way. Only problem with the jigsaw is that you're left with a notch in the circle where you drilled for the jigsaw blade, but not with using a router. Going to have to post this on my channel now haha. But still, well done 👍👍
I totally agree with you, TH-cam is a library, a school, the best thing that has happened to the world. If it weren't for the expert videos we would remain in total ignorance.
I knew that I need a tool like this, but I didn't knew the best and the simplest way for doing it. Thanks to your video, I will be able tu cut perfect circles for making my speakers cabinets. Cheers !
Awesome technique, i will implement by making my drill bit hole under jig saw a little further away from the center of the circle to prevent that defect at the start. Thanks great video!
Right on dude I was thinking to myself as I was watching this video how far down in the comments I would have to go to see if anyone noticed a little notch in his pre-drill and yours was like the fourth one down I guess I am normal right on man hahaha
Could you mark where the hold you want to start say put a pencil through the blade hole. do a plunge cut to get the first hole place the jig back on wood place the jig saw in and put blade through the plunge hole you made?
Awesome simple design! Thanks. Made a small design change but 99% yours. Wish I had a way to make a video. But anyway, this is the world of DIYers sharing with others. This is how the entire world should be with others.
Using a drill hole will still make the blade wobble a bit. I took a screw driver(skinny) one and did the hole, this way the blade will fit tight with no movement to left or right and besides, the hole on the circle will eat a little into the circle.
Yeah, he needed to drill the hole either to the inside or outside of it, depending on whether he wanted a "perfect hole" or a "perfect circle." ;-) I'm looking to cut some perfect "holes" in the good material, so I'll drill the pilot hole to the inside of the line BEFORE I place the jig.
Great idea, I made one in just a few minutes. I need to make small circles tho. I tried an 8" circle first and it was too tight, ended up bending the blade. But I bet this works great for larger projects!
SO I made something like this to cut sheet aluminum and it starts off fine but it will bend the blade and eventually the blade pops out the wheel guide to the side. I tried the different settings for cutting straight and circular but same thing happened. I got this at Hrbor Freight. Is it it a junk jig saw or is sheet metal different or what? Doesn't seem to do that when I don't use the jig.
Awesome! Thank you so very much for this awesome resource! It works like a charm and you are so appreciated. I was able to make a 74 inch circle because of you!
seemed like a great idea, made a jig for my Bosch. Tried cutting 26" diameter (13" radius) circle in 5/8 pine. Didn't notice till too late that the blade was bending ever more outward till it started binding. I started my cut first by freehand cutting from the close edge and ending tangent to the drawn circle. I then mounted the saw in the jig, verified blade was straight when I started the cut, then kept cutting without checking every now and then to see how the cut looked. I swear I ended up with a 45 degree bevel before the blade started binding. serious bend in the blade. Not sure how to avoid blade bending, may look at making a jig for my router to cut circles instead.

Just exactly what I need for a project, and since my jigsaw has no such jig, I'll make one tomorrow. From one brain to another, the human way, via TH-cam.
I built the rig to use with my Dewalt jigsaw to cut circles from 3/4" sheathing but as I'm turning, the blade is pivoting, getting hot and breaking. Is there a particular blade that should be used or a trick to keep the blade vertical without shifting or twisting? I'm using 10tpi blades.
Making this jig is not for the amateur there is a bit more to it than what this video shows, every thing needs to be spot on to get it to work and even then it is not simple.

This is great. I found another use for myjigsaw.
You could theoretically make this jig for a router which would probably eliminate the notch.
Thanks!

I thnk this is the simplest way to make a circle cutting tools. very straight forward and can be easily do it at home. Thanks
From Argentina! Huge help from your video! Now I got a happy customer! Thank you!
I was curious to see how you fixed the hole left by the drill bit after you cut out the circle.
A way to avoid this is by starting at one edge of the plywood or piece of material you are cutting.
Thank you for making a video of something that is a great tool, and uncomplicated to make. Bravo!
Awesome. I noticed it's more difficult cutting smaller hols than big ones. great concept.
I knew that I need a tool like this, but I didn't knew the best and the simplest way for doing it.

Lol i wanna do the same, but im worried that it's not gonna work with a 5" woofer
Awesome technique, i will implement by making my drill bit hole under jig saw a little further away from the center of the circle to prevent that defect at the start. Thanks great video!
I guess you should start on the edge of the plywood if you want a circle without the little notch where you drilled the starting hold.
Right on dude I was thinking to myself as I was watching this video how far down in the comments I would have to go to see if anyone noticed a little notch in his pre-drill and yours was like the fourth one down I guess I am normal right on man hahaha

You can use a multicutter to avoid the round hole
Although I agree with you, I guess you should learn how to spell. He didn't drill a hold.
He's cutting out a hole. Not making a round piece to use. So the drill hole matters not. Jack asses
Woooooowwww!!!!....THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARE!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!
Genius idea! Very simple, practical, inexpensive and easy to do. Kudos to you my friend! Keep on keepin' on!
It is better to drill your starting hole just outside the circle to get rid of that notch. This is the best jig of this type I have seen. Good job.
This video is what I want to watch.
Thanks for sharing your tips.
Thanks for sharing 🇧🇧 👉🏾 🇨🇦 👍🏽
Simple but great idea..THANKS!
Voilà une vidéo très instructive.. Merci beaucoup ! ;-)
Thanks for none of the useless talking lots of people do!! Awesome video
Great video! To keep mine from lifting I used an extra piece of scrap to fit over the metal plate of the jig saw which helps secure it.
Your video is the best man. Thank you
Tak tiru josss tenan, good idea.

Thanks. I just recently made one with the help of this video. Perfect Circle.
Cool jig for cutting perfect circles.
Thankyou! I was thinking of this in my head but couldn’t figure out how to make the actual jig!
very innovative thanks!!!
Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
Great jig, thanks for share.... best regards from Tijuana
Worked great. Good idea! thanks
No Circle Back on this !!!! Great job !!
Plot twist: The starting hole in the beginning was the perfect circle he was referring to
jk, great idea

Great, if you don't mind the screw hole or have to plug it or fill it.
Simple yet efficient. YANK YOU SIR. , Video can be shorter.🎉
Great idea man 👍
Use a router with a panel cutter bit, does a perfect job
very nice ! Thank you for your efforts. respect for labour
I seen so many these made. I was gonna do it this way as well. Seems so much easier.
