Thanks for the great tip! I didn't know how to cut a circle using a jigsaw. I like your technique on how to get started without drilling a hole.

I wish I found your video before I bought a 9-inch hole saw for my subwoofer project. I already have a jigsaw and didn't know I could cut a perfect circle of any diameter, wow! Thanks for sharing! 😁

I often don't have the "ideal" tool for the job, and have to come up with something that works as good and even better. Saves money too.

The radius guide is an old trick. I use one with my router to cut large circles. The entry trick is new to me, though. For cutting an inside circle, put the temporary screw between the radius center and the blade. You'll need to drill a hole to start the cut, but it will be clean, just like his outside cut.

This is ingenius!

Beautiful! I have not seen a BETTER idea than this for cutting circles. I planned to make 3 side tables with circular tops, so now I have the best solution. Thanks. SUBSCRIBING!

Thank you very much 😃. Soon I will also cut wooden circles with a bevel in the edge 😃

Very good job! Brilliant!

Thank you. I just used this for the first time I ever cut a circle. It saved me so much trouble.

Thanks for your opinion after using this trick :)

This is perfect since all I have is a jigsaw. Other videos show routers, etc. which I don't have. You came up with a simple technique.

Ten thumbs up! Great idea!

Good jig! Now i can make a perfect circle

Tanks, you just saved me a few hundred dollars.

Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

I do not have a router yes so this is perfect! Thank you so much

Just what I needed. It works a treat so well done. Don Adams

Beautifully executed my friend! Very clever! TYFS! 💘💘💘

Great process, looks like you can reglue the outer ring with an invisible joint too

Very clever idea👍

Fantastic!!!!!

This is brilliant! It makes a perfect circle! Way better than drilling a pilot hole to insert the jig saw blade.

Very smart entry trick - thanks for the idea!

Thank you very much. I am going to try this.

just brilliant - would never have thought of that

Great hack!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Even the offcut looks super useful. Imagine putting the second screw at the 4 cardinal points you would have some nice cams or spacers!

Thank you. In another video I make a better jig to cut perfect circles with perfect vertical cut in the edge of the wood :)

Вот знал , что надо как то подвести пилку к кругу , теперь все понял , большое спасибо за идею .

BRAVO

Thank you! This is a great idea.

Thanks for sharing

Very clever Sir..

Ver smart. I would not have thought of this technique.

Thank you teacher

Brilliant video. Thank you very much.

Very cleaver indeed...thanks

You are a genius mate, you think outside of the "box" i like that well done.

Clever entry technique - nice work!

Thank you very much. Did you watch how I use something similar to cut a bevel in the edge of a wood circle using the jigsaw?

Thanks for sharing, nice idea.

Thank you.

Excellent job great idea

Great .. thank you...

Good and simple works well

This is brilliant, as all your ideas are. Thank you!

Good job👍👍👍👍👍 amazing idea 🤜🤛

Ingenious!

Great!!!

Brilliant .

Great idea.

Great video mate.

So smart. Thanks

Brilliant!

Good Job!

Amazing! Thank you I am about to try this to replace rounds on my barstools. Thank you for making this video. New sub!!!

Im surprise how clean the cut was. What blade did you use?

Clever guy

Nice work

I like that awsome i made a lazy susan and all i have is a skilsaw jigsaw and a sander i can see a small wobble i was thinking of securing my sand and the susan to the bench and just spin it till she's round

much better way to start without leaving a notch on the circle

@WoodworkingwithDIYtools

Yes, that was the idea. I wanted to avoid that notch in the edge of the circle :)

Cracking! Just used this to cut a circle and it was spot on. Thank you!

Super

Very good sir I am it fan

nice idea

Now that is a brillant solution & certainly an out of the box idea! Nice work....👍👍😉😉

You can also cut internal circles if your new pilot screw in between main screw and jigsaw. But you need to drill a hole.

Nice! now i need one to cut and keep the outside circle.

This is great! I saw another video that used coat hanger wire instead of wood but your method looks even more reliable 👍 I am trying to decide whether I need a circular saw to cut straight lines in 12mm mdf (200 to 500mm cuts). Is this doable with a good "budget brand" jigsaw? Could the same jigsaw be used to cut 11cm circles in 3mm mdf (with fine tooth metal blade)?

10/10 on all fronts 👍👍👍

Very clever, even brilliant solution! Thanks for posting it!

This is brilliant! It looks like that outer ring is a clean cut and can easily be glued back together. That makes me think that by tilting the blade fo 45-degrees this could also be a jig to make a bowl from a board. I'm never comfortable cutting 45-degrees on a band saw.

@WoodworkingwithDIYtools

You must be reading my mind. I already have in my channel a woodworking jig to make 45 degrees cuts with the jigsaw. I will mix it with this one to cut wooden circles with a 45 degrees bevel, maybe to make a fancy round table 😃

Excellent! This never occurred to my mind. Thank you so much!

That will certainly come in handy. Thanks.

Simple yet ingenious. I’ll use this myself. Than you!

A perfectly serviceable jig, better than what I've been doing

So simple yet it is amazingly accurate.

Very, very good idea!!! Thank you!

This is clever! But I think it could work for holes as well? If the extra pin was placed between the main pivot and the saw, the saw would swing inside the circle instead of outside. Using the same ‘line up the line’ technique and switch pins should then give you a perfect hole?

I am already making some test 😃. Actually, as soon I I have cut the wooden circle in this video, I began to try to cut inside circles. In advance I can say that tight curves can cause a lot of burning

That's great. Off in the garage tomorrow to make one

Thank you, you just saved me from having to try and convince my wife to let me get another expensive tool.

You are a clever guy. Thank you.

Great idea, many thanks for sharing this!

Not so simple. The pivot hole must be precisely aligned (i.e. square) with some point on the blade-a point that is different with every blade-or the blade will creep inward or outward until it binds. I know this from experience. If the blade is behind the pivot point (an obtuse angle, even microscopically), it will creep inward until it binds or breaks. If the blade is in front of the pivot point (an acute angle, even microscopically), it will creep outward until it binds or breaks. I successfully made a circle jig like this, but I wasted loads of plywood scraps experimenting to find the "sweet spot." And if you ever change blades, forget about it. You have to start over. This design appears amazing, but in reality it's a nightmare.

I understand the problem you mention. But the truth is that I was able to cut the circle on the first try. You also have another video on my channel where I combine this trick with my jigsaw jig with bearings that helps to keep the cutting blade vertical. The video is titled "Amazing cutting absolutely perfect circles with the jigsaw" and shows how I manage to cut a circle from thick oak board leaving a perfect edge with no marks.

What you describe is exactly what happened to me when I tried this method. It was cutting a spiral instead of a circle despite my best effort to align the pivot hole with the blade. It looks like his jig is helping to keep the blade from bending.

By far I think this is the best cutting a circle I have seen. Thanks - How did you attach the jigsaw?

Une très bonne idée, Monsieur 10/10

I tried to repeat this method but ran into problems with the jigsaw blade being deflected by the curve or the circle (I was trying to make a smaller circle as per the above video)... The jigsaw never got to bite into the wood... I had to cut it out by hand and eye on a bandsaw. Disappointed that the above method did not work for me. Any type of special balde being used? Angle of attack? Maybe a square board would work better, I imagine once the blade is into the wood and following the curve it would do the job. Thanks for the video....

genial, Gruß Armin

Great idea thanks I'll have to try that! Thanks 👍

How did you make the jig on the jigsaw?

👌😊👍

Bravo, clever ideas 👍👌👏😀 well done.

That’s really clever thinking!

God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ amen!
