To make a circle you need a center point. Measure from the blade to a point half as wide your circle. (Hmmm that's confusing) What you're measuring is the radius of your circle. So for instance, I wanted to cut and 11 inch circle so I measured 5.5 inches from the blade and marked that point. Another note! Make sure you're measuring a perfect 90 degree angle from the blade. If your measurement is crooked, your circle will be smaller than you want.



Grab a screw or nail that is slightly longer than your jig top is thick. You want it to poke out enough to dig into your circle a little bit.

Drill a hole where you marked your center point, and put the screw through from the bottom to the top so the point just pokes out. Another tip! I like to write the points make. That way if you need another circle the same size later on, you can use the same hole.



That's it! Once your screw is in, your jig is done! Grab a board and start slicing away! It's a good idea to take the corners off first then continue cutting off all the high spots. OH YEAH! On the safety side of things, make sure when you're cutting larger pieces off your circle that you cut straight lines. In other words, don't try to spin the circle till the very end! This could result in loss of limb, or worse yet, loss of circle!

Check out the pictures for a better idea. You know what would go perfect with these circles? A laser cutter/etcher. I can only imagine what cool things could come out of a laser etched circle! :)
