I'm used to larger, corded routers th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.
So if I have a solid circle . the wood is alrady a circle, will this work to just cut out he middle of the circle to make it the open frame ? yet to get a jig.Did you remove the rubber base from the end of the jig? I see it's supported on top of the wood hexagon.
martyn jones sorry, for the misunderstanding with my question. I was wondering what bit he was using during the demonstration. I don’t think Rockler producers or sells router bits.
Yup. But last I checked, WWJ is a magazine about woodworking, and usually there is a mention somewhere "paid by Rockler" or similar. Recent videos by WWJ is nothing but ads by companies. At least stand by what is done and shown: advertising.
Since the product wasn't promoted or praised, this isn't advertising. "...like this one from Rockler..." This doesn't constitute advertising. This constitutes, "Here's an example of one." So, uh, stop being a curmudgeon.
What if you want a circle with a solid center? For example, if you were making a table top of an end table. That center plate will not allow this jig to make that kind of a circle. Honestly, I've seen and made my own simple circle cutting jig out of a piece of scrap that does the same job as this and allows you to make a solid-centered round disc. Someone over-engineered this thing!
This Rockler jig comes with a phenolic spacer block under the end of the jig's blue arm. With the spacer block in place, it will enable the jig to cut solid-center circles (or ellipses). But, since these circular frames I'm making don't have a center, I removed the spacer block for this operation so the arm would pass freely over the octagon--it otherwise would have interfered with the cuts. (The spacer block is just held in place with what appears to be CA "super" glue and is easy to pop off.)
As an Englishman, I love your pronunciation of 'octagon'. Your precision brings a smile to the face, as well.
What is the best router bit to cut the circle?
muchas gracias por sus videos , genial explicacion en corte circular , saludos desde España
What about circle with radius less than the router base radius?

Will this jig work with the Dewalt DCW600 Router?
brah listen here.. where you get the circle jig???
What timber did you use on that Octagon? has great figuring through it.
Nice work
Excelente, una opción más para cortar aros
Thanks. What kind of a bit is that?
Nevermind I see you've already answered this question. Thanks.
thank you for making what seemed like a scary tool less intimidating
What style/type of bit do you recommend?
WigWagWorkshop Probably one that's made by someone who's paid sponsorship.
martyn jones sorry, for the misunderstanding with my question. I was wondering what bit he was using during the demonstration. I don’t think Rockler producers or sells router bits.
You can use a conventional straight bit or, as I use here in the video, a carbide uncut spiral bit. 1/4" shank, 1/4" diameter worked well for me.
@@chrismarshall6373 thanks many looking for this answer
If this was not paid for by rockler you could have mentioned that it's easy to make your own jig for circles
Or you, the watcher, could just watch it, see how it's done, and then make your own. So there is that.

you should have did the oval
What kind of the router are you using?
It's a DeWalt 1-1/4HP compact router in a plunge base. A wonderful machine with plenty of power for this operation.
👍
