The ONLY bandsaw circle cutting jig that fits EVERY NEED!

- This one-off designed bandsaw circle cutting jig let's you make perfect circles of any size without drilling holes in your work, leaves little-to-no tear-out, and is ready for use in a matter of seconds.
I had to think long and hard on this one, as I wasn't satisfied with "the same old" jig. Most set-ups have a sliding dovetail type arm that comes out to the side and provides little support for the workpiece. Most of them require drilling a hole in the work piece as well, which I'm not fond of either. This compact design enables me to cut perfect circles of any size on the bandsaw without all the other compromises and it works AMAZING!
I had to figure out how to drill a hole in the middle of a dowel to make the adjustment knob, I show how I did that here - • How to DRILL A HOLE in...

The best jig I have ever seen for cutting circles. I love the concept making circles without a hole. Great!
I built a version of your circle cutting jig and it works amazingly well! Thanks for the video! My version has 4 changes that I think improved utility:
- I made the center adjustin knob less than 1/2" tall. Then I only drilled 1/2" through the donut. This change provided more surface area for double stick tape.
- I used a MATCHFIT Dovetail Track Hardware® nut to help prevent maring of the dovetail track when the center knob is tightened
- I extended my sled to the back of the bandsaw table where I put a stop that wraps around to the bottom of the table. This prevents tipping of the jig whe cutteing large circles.
- My cut-depth stop is a full 3/4 thick and extends all the way to the bottom of the table. Thiss allowed me to use a threaded insert and a knob (or just a bolt) to act as a depth adjuster so that i can fine tune the depth of cut in case the saw blade shifts when it's replaced. To make room for the adjuster the base of the jig has to be ~1/2 inch wider than the table and the dovetail track need to be cut 1/4" behind the blade edge.. I also added two nuts on either side of the stop to make sure the adjustment doesn't change accidentally.
I love how you made one that doesn't leave a mark or hole on one side of the wood - most do. Great job.
Great video...quickly decided I shouldn't be three Winter beers into the evening when watching this video!
I recently made a circle cutting jig very similar to this and it worked ok, but yours looks better, so when I get back in the shop I will be building one of these, but with an added support to minimise the tipping. Great vid, cheers.
Who in their right mind would dislike this great idea. Excellent use of gray matter!! Excellent job!
Most useful jig I've seen as far as simple to make and use. Huge thumbs up! Thanks!
I saw this a couple of months ago, subscribed and bookmarked it. Of the many I've bookmarked, this is by far the very best. Well Done!
Great job. Discovering videos like this one ........ makes you tube great again.
Thank you for sharing.
such a great tutorial-- i doubted myself, but viewed this many times and had the confidence to try it and it was easier than i thought- and i not only was able to build the jig, but i created a stunning round jewel box for my wife-- i really appreciate the time you took to educate me - thank you.
Bravo!
Hope your wife loves the box.
But like how much did cost to get the machine?
I watched this video 2 years ago when you made it. I finally made the jig and I love it. Thanks!
One of the better circle jigs that I've seen. Great job my friend!
Brilliant - precision woodworking nicely executed. 👍 John 🇬🇧
Clever idea. Nice work!
Great job. I just started thinking how to do it, and here is your video. Special thanks for the mounting method in the center of the circle, without drilling details. I myself could not guess. I need it. Большое спасибо.
This is by far the best circle cutting jig I've seen. I definitely need to make one.
Thanks man! I’m rather fond of it as well. Let me know if you make one!!
I second that, I'm so making the same one! Thanks dude.
Agree with Joshua
Please how much will it cost to get one of this machine?

Great video, you have a knack for instruction!
So glad i found your channel!! Thank you!!
Great idea. The best best circular jig I’ve seen so far. The whole was always a problem. Best regards, Richard
The best circle cutting jig in you tube I found !!!!!! Thanks
This idea is so unique I’m in love with it
You sir are looking in too my future! I have saved this because I intend to begin manufacturing a product that will need circles. Now I am not a woodworker hence why I am watching you and so I had no idea at all about any circle problems and now (thanks to you) I have the solution before I even encounter the problem!!
Thanks
Bob
Now this is what I call a useful, simple to make idea! Thx!
Great idea! The advantage is no hole on the round piece when finished. In addition, much more accuracy and almost no tear out!Thanks!
Ran into the circle cutting challenge last night. I knew I watched this video a few years ago. Building this next. Thank you for sharing your design and how it works!!
That sir is genius. Best circle cutting jig I've seen 👍
I can’t tell you how excited I am. I just ordered a new 17” bandsaw yesterday and this will be one of my first jigs. Thanks for sharing!
YES! I’m working on a remake of this thing as well. Absolutely nothing wrong with this one. I just want to try and make it easier for people to make and try to have plans. Let me know how it goes! Enjoy the new bandsaw!
Definitely the best circle cutting jig I've ever seen. Congratulations!
Hey thanks!
NICE WORK! I'm saving this for sure!
Really really cool. I am going to try this! Thank you for creating this jig and sharing it.
Nicely done! This is a well thought out jig. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant, this is the best thing I've ever seen!. And for the wobble when you are cutting larger pieces make extend the jig and add a second connection in the other track to lock it down then you don't have to add a leg to support it.
Well thought out plan and execution and has definitely changed my mind on making a jig
Another great video from you. Good precise information, no waffling. Two thumbs up. Well done.
Perfect for cutting tone rings for the resonator guitars I'm building. Thanks for taking the time to share.
Best jig I've seen. Gonna make one next week
I’ve made a couple jigs for this over the years I like your approach
Definitely nice looking and the only improvement I could think would be to extend it on the inside to make use of that other track on the inside for a secondary runner. That would offer a bit more stability without having to prop the jig up I would think.
Great idea. Just what I was thinking of designing myself. You saved me so much time, trial and error with this video. I think one way to handle the stability would be to use a Rockler Universal Fence Clamp on the end to the left of the blade. You could also make it longer on that end and use a 'T' bolt in the other miter slot to hold it down similarly to the way feather boards are secured. Or perhaps even rig up a magswitch to hold it down. I already have the Rockler clamps, so may go that route.
Haven't gotten a bandsaw as of yet but curiosity for this jig led me in. Coincidentally was watching an unrelated build video where the piece was secured with several screws. Brilliant thinking "around" that problem. Saving this video and subscribing.
Hi, I've had this video bookmarked for a while now as I was very impressed with the concept. Having just bought larger bandsaw and now being under lockdown due to the Corona Virus in the UK.I Have just completed the project! Had to make a few mods on the way to suit what I had available but still very impressed.
Brilliant. This is the best jig I have seen
That`s the best one i see. Greetings from Germany
Great idea and execution! I will be building one soon. Thanks so much!
Not a wasted second on this vid ! Great stuff and no time wasting.
Brilliant. Thank you very much. Very easy to understand at my level of knowledge and skill. Keep the videos coming.
Great design. I have always cut circles on the table saw but this will be a lot safer and way faster. Thank you for the design.
Looked at allot of circle jigs and this one is by far the best. Hope to make one soon, Thanks for the video.
Terrific design. Well done and thank you.
Simple, well thought out & concisely expressed. Thanks!
Great idea ! With no holes. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from France 👍
Creatively first rate. Thank you for sharing this.
Clean cut. Well done
That is really clever! I love the intro too!
You did an AWESOME JOB on this. I will build this for my shop. Thank you for taking the time!!!!!!!!1
Excellent Jig!!! congrats!
Smart way to cut a circle... Good work...
Best circle jig I've ever seen. Gotta make one!
Now that is a super duper jig.......keep making videos, you've got a style.
brilliant engineering once again!
Went ahead and made this jig with two mods. Cut a T slot instead of dovetail, and extended the base to use both tracks on my bandsaw table. Great video, great jig. Works great.
That's awesome! I used the dovetail because I had it, and I was trying to just use stuff I already had. But I did wish I had a slot cutter when I made it. Glad it worked out for you!
@@InspireWoodcraft I also learned that what tape is used can be important. Especially on big circles. Ended up adding two screws in the doughnut for a 30" circle. Worked great
Best circle jig ever. thankyou
Good jig. Much better than drilling a hole into a new circle stock. Thanks for the video.
Awesome. Don't have a band saw yet, still shopping. You definitely motivated me.
Very nice jig. Great job
marvelous job...& precise too👏👏👏!
Simple but affective, nice work 👍
This is gold. Well done!
Nice Job! Well explained and I love the no holes part.
Best jig I’ve seen! Great design thanks! I’ll be making this soon
I Love the idea of not having a hole in the center of the finished circle. GREAT VIDEO.
Fantastic idea! Finally building my new shop and plan on making one of these for it!!!!
Well done, thank you for your great jig!
THAT LOOKS LIKE THE BEST I'VE SEEN.
This is an awesome jig pal !!! Thanks for sharing the idea !!!
Great video, many thanks, going out to make one this weekend.
I like your approach on this. On mine I added an adjustment to the front stop so the sled can be moved back or forward for blade alignment.
Your overall design is superior to the jig I use now so I may have to build another based on yours. Thanks for sharing.
outstanding best circle jig I have ever seen
This for the video, will definitely put on my shop
to do list.
Absolutely brilliant!
Nice looking jig . Nice adjustment idea
Thank you I shall definitely use it
Love this design. I just made one for myself. Thanks. I took your design to the router table too, in order to rout a juice groove in a round board…it works well.
Really good jig.
FANTASTIC WORK!!! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.
Definitely going to make me one of these. Well done!
Very well thought out. Not an easy video to make since there are so many steps involved but you did an excellent job with this. I have a simple and reliable circle cutting jig but will upgrade to this one. Excellent job on this!
Nice jig! Definitely gonna build one now
Another jig I Have to make. Much better than any others I have seen.
Love this idea! I am definitely going to build one off of your design. For the centering piece I think i will use a hole saw. Thanks!
That's the best circle cutting jig that I've seen so far!
Thanks!
That’s a great design.
Well done! 👍
Well done. Well thought out. Circle cutting has always been a puzzler. You can use a similar jig to clean up the edges on the disc sander. Thanks for sharing.
😍💥😍Really like this jig! I'll be making one of these when I get a band saw. Thanks for sharing!
Just came across this video; what a great concept! Thanks for sharing it. I may have to give it a try. I don't do a lot of circles in guitars but every so often. It's always good to have though.
what a cool jig
Excellent jig, the best I ever seen,I have been looking for this a long time,very easy to use NO HOLES , great will make one asap thanks very much for the jig saved me a lot of looking keep up the great work thanks again......
Looks like a really good jig! Think I'll have to reproduce it. Thanks!
Great design! Thanks for sharing!
