Finally made one after seeing this over a year ago and adding it to my "to make" playlist. Made it out of plexiglass (which was a mistake with hindsight) and using a trammel arm for larger circles (which is removable and works out well).
Brilliant! For months, now, I've been looking for a jig that would let me do what yours does. As a maker, I would far prefer to make said tool. You have shown me how. Thanks!
brilliant, for non-critical circular cuts. I'll stick to a single rotator. On a side note, you mean quite the opposite from "like the moon"; the moon actually rotates just -so- it only faces the center of rotation with one side, this method makes the router -not- rotate.
Nice job！In a sense, this is the most comfortable dust collection system, rather than a simple compass. Because it can make your dust collection pipe very comfortable. No skipping!
Absolutely brilliant design..works very nice with small form.. have just bought material to try copy that model.. would appreciate some help with size's or build plan.. great video clear and precise..thx so much
The start hole is the problem, you need something to line up the router with the template and ensure the bit is at the right location before the bit hits the wood. I can easily see you getting a slight off spot because there's no way to align things before you start routing.
@@lohikarhu734 a normal circle cutting jig revolves around a single point, usually a screw or a pin. The tolerances imvolved usually is the difference between the hole you drilled and the pin, or driving a screw...which is about as zero tolerance as you're going to get it woodworking.... As compared to cutting a circle to a specific dimension... Then cutting another circle to match that dimensions... Then spacing your bearings, some how magically, to the exact position, to hold the exact amount of clearance to allow the whole thing to rotate....
You are already using a cordless, so cord entanglement is not an issue. Regardless, cord entanglement has never been an issue for me for small router of thin gauge cord, such as two conductor (double insulated) 18 AWG. I don't see the great advantage of the router itself being able to rotate. Or am I missing something?
При возможности избегаю акамуляторные инструменты . Последний шуроповерт с двумя акамуляторами один оказался испорчены. Аккумуляторы стоят дорого и не факт рабочии.
But someone please inform me of the benefit of this type of circle cutting jig I'm relatively new to owning a router and looking at purchasing or building my own little circle cutting jig so I was wondering if this has any distinct advantages over one that doesn't do what this does
Many trim routers come with a round bottom plate- so you do not need to make that part. The round shroud that goes around it serves no purpose- it rides on the ball races. So you do not have to make that part either. In practice, if you have an overhead extraction system (probably the best arrangement), the rotation of the router is not a problem in the first place...
Good idea but it is much more easy and accurate to use a guide bushing inserted in a hole of the same size. Personally, I drilled a 20mm hole in the jig with a forstner bit and I use a 20mm guide bushing. Easy to set up as there is no need to screw a base on the router and nothing to adjust. Just insert the guide bushing into the router base and put it in the hole of the jig.
Firstly you Have to remove the base plate to install the bushing on most routers anyway, so I don't see a problem here. Secondly, not all routers have a bushing "out of the box", so you'd have to make or buy one. But if you really want a fast swap capability with minimal fuss on the jig side and are itching to buy something - another full base wouldn't hurt i guess... I can see myself making a permanent round base plate from some hardy material like acrilic and just sticking to it... it's better than my square one anyway.
@@arcuscerebellumus8797 Many trim routers come with a round base (e.g. DeWalt) as well. So, nothing to fit, and no loss of height. Personally, if I wanted to make such a jig, instead of encircling the router with a track, I would fit a raised round part in the centre, just the right size to fit into the clearance hole in the router base. Nothing to fit to the router, no loss of height, and no ball races. Simples.
Yes - a guide bushing is so much simpler! I just drill a 3/4” hole in the jig, rout with a 1/4” bit paired with a 3/4” guide bushing and the router will rotate on the jig. Easy, peasy. John Jensen from British Columbia.
Mount a router to a piece of board approximately the size of the router base. Plunge the bit down through the wood until it comes out the underside. Now make a straight line radiating away from the router hole. Make a small hole with an 1/8" drill bit about 12 inches from the router hole but on that radiating line. Make a half circle around the small hole. Draw straight lines from that half circle to the edges of the router base. Cut that shape out on the outside of the lines on a bandsaw or use a coping saw. You are done. Now any hole you make on that straight line down the middle is your pivot point center for any size circle you want to route out or chamfer or bull nose. Just measure out from the center of the router hole half the diameter of the required circle or arc and make a hole on that line.
Curiuosly, this same week, I decided to buy a Palm Router, since my other two routers are larger and heavy (an old Black&Decker 7614 and a Milwaukee 2 1/2 HP with two bases), but the question is: Which Palm Router is best???
The Makita palm routers are nicely made, and have 5 different bases available. The corded one does not have a light, but the cordless does. My biggest complaint, about them, is the lack of micro adjustment.
Well it is a nice jig. But the moon does not rotate on its own axis. It only rotates around the earth in a bound rotation, e.g. the same side of the moon always faces to the earth. And that is the opposite from what your jig does. 😉
So, you look up at what you claim to be an object, that you cannot vary nor manipulate!? What's next, because that was breath taking. Maybe it's Cheese?
It actually does. It rotates around its own axis and around Earth with the same angular speed. Therefore the illusion that it does not rotate relative to Earth, or in other words always shows the same face to the Earth.

これはすばらしい。集塵ホースも回らなくてスマートですね。That's good idea. You did a good job.
これは面白い発想です。トリマーのサークルカットジグはどれもコードや集塵ホースが絡まる問題を抱えていましたが、
これだと回転しないので絡まないですね。電源コードの方はバッテリー式を使えば問題ないが、集塵ホースはそうもいきません。
目からウロコです！
私もトリマー用のサークル治具は作っていますが、これは素晴らしいですね。まったく場所をとらない。トリマー自体を回転させるっていうアイデアに脱帽です。作りたいけど、今の私の技量では難しそう。でもいつか挑戦します。
正直 天才!! って思いました。
これは便利です。
真似させていただきます。

Great build. That is similar to the one that Marius Hornberger made a couple years ago. All circle jigs should be made like this.
You work with great precision, skill, and proper measurements, amazing!

Excelente solución para los que preferimos herramientas con cable.
Amazing build brother !! You made it look so simple to do .....
Excellent, and I love the Hikoki route. I use them and Metabo HPT myself.
I didn't understand that part. Why make part of the cut with the one and then finish the cut with the other?
Brilliant.. Very elegant and clever design
Nice job！In a sense, this is the most comfortable dust collection system, rather than a simple compass. Because it can make your dust collection pipe very comfortable. No skipping!

Great Idea. Can you tell me What are the dimensions of the bearings you used please. Thx
Felicitaciones!! De lo mejor que tengo visto.
Nicely done. No hose/cord wrapping, with this design.
Looks like a pretty hardcore fleshlight
Absolutely brilliant design..works very nice with small form.. have just bought material to try copy that model.. would appreciate some help with size's or build plan.. great video clear and precise..thx so much
A nice build but it still leaves a hole in the disc, and a hole saw could cut out a circle for you, but it is a nice gadget.
Clever jig. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Brilliant I’ve subscribed i cant wait to see the rest of your work
Very cool. I could have done with this jig last weekend.
Nice Design💪
Great, but you're relying on the base being concentric with the bit...
Teria como me mandar um desse gabarito pronto ? Qual valor ? Ou o projeto com medidas....
Gratidão
The start hole is the problem, you need something to line up the router with the template and ensure the bit is at the right location before the bit hits the wood. I can easily see you getting a slight off spot because there's no way to align things before you start routing.
Could you develop ? The router can be on spot before lowering the bit, why would that impact the accuracy ? Regards
Cool idea. I'm impressed.
Using a Hitachi or Hikoki tool to do this kind of thing can't go wrong...
That's very clever. Much easier to maneuver with the tool.
Excelente!! Justo necesitaba cortar unos circulos pequeños ( 6.5 cm)!! Gracias
Wonderful little kit. Do you have a parts list for this?
Bonjour est il possible d'avoir les plans de votre gabarit ?
Merci d'avance
Super gearbeitet, mit freundlichen Grüßen.

Good way to make a circle cutting jig less accurate
How?

Yes the bearings add slop, but if you are having to orient a vacuum hose in one direction this might be useful.
Like the moon? WE LIKE THE MOON!
Brilliant build …
Complimenti.. Su possono avere le misure dei vari componenti e sino a che diametro arriva il tuo progetto?. Complimenti ancora!
Viewing on the small screen and I couldn't make out what material you used to make it? MDF?
C'est super merci beaucoup pour la vidéo

Was thinking the same thing, it is easier for the dust collection hose though.
@@ezion67 yep, the dust collection hose. It's pain in the ass, especially if the hose is stiff like mine
I think it’s a significant safety improvement as well.
Much less likely to have an incident when your control/router hand never changes grip.

Are the plans to build your Circle Cutting Jig available to purchase? If so how do I go about doing that?
Mount a router to a piece of board approximately the size of the router base. Plunge the bit down through the wood until it comes out the underside. Now make a straight line radiating away from the router hole. Make a small hole with an 1/8" drill bit about 12 inches from the router hole but on that radiating line.
