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.

This is ingenius!

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! 😁

Very good job! Brilliant!

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.

Fantastic!!!!!

Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

Ten thumbs up! Great idea!

Great hack!! Thanks for sharing!!!

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

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

Thank you teacher

Thank you! This is a great idea.

Very clever idea👍

Very smart entry trick - thanks for the idea!

just brilliant - would never have thought of that

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 cleaver indeed...thanks

Great idea.

Thanks for sharing, nice idea.

Very clever!

Ingenious!

Brilliant video. Thank you very much.

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

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.

Excellent job great idea

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

Thanks for sharing

So smart. Thanks

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

Great .. thank you...

BRAVO

Brilliant .

Good Job!

nice thank you so much

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

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

Nice work

Clever guy

Good job👍👍👍👍👍 amazing idea 🤜🤛

Genius

nice idea

Thank you.

How do you set the jig saw in the board like this?

Great video mate.

Super

Very good sir I am it fan

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?

That's a brilliant tip, mate 👍🏾 Cheers for sharing.

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

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

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

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

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

👌😊👍

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

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

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)?

Me like

Brilliant!

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

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

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

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

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

@WoodworkingwithDIYtools

3 жыл бұрын

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

So simple yet it is amazingly accurate.

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

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

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

Great idea, many thanks for sharing this!

10/10 on all fronts 👍👍👍

What a great mind!

That’s really clever thinking!

Very, very good idea!!! Thank you!

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

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

How did you make the jig on the jigsaw?

You are a clever guy. Thank you.

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

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

Do you have instructions for making your jig? I'm a newbie.

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

Une très bonne idée, Monsieur 10/10

That it's a great idea

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

Bravo, clever ideas 👍👌👏😀 well done.

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....

Got a video starting with a sqaure board instead of a circle

God bless you in the name of Jesus Christ amen!

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 😃
