I've seen a picture of a very simple, but genius circle jig for the router table. Since there hasn't been a video of making it on RUclips I thought I'm making one.
You can make this jig with limited tools and it takes only about one hour.

Enjoy the video!
The last blooper with the pine shattering is a good reminder of what wood can do if you are not watchful. Similar situation when working on a jointer. I never put my hands over the cutter head of a jointer. And I have seen a board disintegrate on the end as it passed over. I started working in my father cabinet shop 42 years ago. Bad stuff happens to those who are complacent. I still have all my fingers in all their full length! Thanks to a patient father who taught me well.

Yep. My Dad drummed into my little head the simple words. These things cut what ever is put in front of them.
This truly is the best solution. Not the generic clickbait blah blah.
For making circles, that's the best jig/idea I've seen thus far. Simple, easy, and stowable. Great idea.
Yes. You still are around. Always pleased to see one of your videos, no matter how small a project.
This is GREAT and thank you so much. I made one yesterday! The size of this is so handy as I'm running out of room to store jigs. Like many, I have to share my garage workshop with the car and other household storage. Thanks again for the To The Point instructions and NO music.
I don't know what I like more. The build or the out takes. ". . .I . . . saw . . . a . . . [quietly] picture . . . "
Brilliantly simple gig! Not only does it work very well, but there is nothing to wear out. It should last indefinitely.
LOVE IT !!! Works so easily! ... I just drive whatever drill bit I used into a slider piece and use that as my pin ... Slider pieces take literally 30 seconds to make!
Nice simple jig! For your dirty router bits .... clean them. Remove the bearing, get a new one if doesn't turn freely. Put 1 part laundry soap and 3 parts hot water in a container. Leave it soak for about 30 minutes. Rinse it off using an old toothbrush or small brass brush. Then put it in a pan of boiling water. After a few minutes, remove the bit and lay it on a shop towel to dry. The water will all evaporate from the hot bit. Reinstall the bearing. Usually, it will cut like new. I clean all my saw blades and router bits this way regularly. Best part ..... no toxic chemicals.
Clever idea. Also good you said you had borrowed somebody else's idea. Hopefully someone will have seen the same vid and put a link in the comments! Thanks and cheers, David.
hes alive!
DuckFPV he has college
Loved the Outtakes. You’re funny! Viewers don’t realize how long it takes to edit videos.
Couldn't find my bandsaw jig so just made one today. Cuts true circles and the "tiny amount" adjustment makes it perfect for the job I have at hand. but it's still tricky to creep up to the bearing just before it clicks in. My trim offset was about 2-3 mm. The router bit is in 80% condition and I was routing 18mm birchply so maybe I need a fresh bit. I might make an additional linear guide from sides and some brace above to avoid kickbacks...let's see
Instead of cutting a slot to the bearing size,you could cut a " V " and be able to use different size cutters.Great video as always. Thank you.
But then it would be much harder to set the right distance. You'd have to know exactly how deep into the V the bit cuts.
I would think since there is that sliding adjuster,,, that would set what ever distance you would need.. I may be wrong .I would have to make one to see if I was right or wrong ...thanks for your reply..
i dunno if you are wrong lwoodt11, but that sounds like a good idea
lwoodt1 what I mean is: in the case of a round bit in a round hole, the bit cuts right to the edge of the hole, and you can use that fact to line it up. In a V shaped hole, there will be a certain distance from the cuting edge of the bit to the bottom of the v, and lining it up is harder. Not impossible, but harder.
Thomas Loven.Yes, I see what you are saying .I think now, I do need to make one and see what the results would be.Its good to trade ideas with fellow woodworkers..thanks again for you input.
Super Idee, dieses Jig! Das muss ich mir auch mal machen . Sehr praktisch, wenn ein Teller verkleinert werden soll .
Auttakes: Holzstücke brechen gerne aus und fliegen durch die Werkstatt, wenn man nur ein bisschen zu unvorsichtig war... Das kenne ich auch .
This is exactly what I was looking for! Great design Marius, I specially like the fact that I can utilize my router table and it's dust collection. Kudos.
Danke für deine Anregungen und Ideen! Du bist einer der, die mich wieder zum Holzhandwerk als Hobby bewegt haben! Vielen Dank!
Great idea, I was just about to make a sliding circle template based on the miter track on my router table. This is so much more accurate and smart. Also I was Hornberger-starved so this video came at just the right time
this channel deserves 20x its current sub count, great vids.
truly the best solution I have ever seen
I made this in about one hour... and go to the hair stylist within this time window :)
Really cool idea I have to add to my ToDo-List. Thanks for showing
Schöne Grüße

I love the simplicity and the sobriety of the jig. Brilliant!
Great idea. I like small jigs that do big things. So much easier than depending on a bulky one on the bandsaw, or the kind where you attach a router. Definitely an idea worth remembering.
I love how you say just eyeball it and ruffly find the center, things like that. It's so funny coming out of a Germans mouth, I should know, I am one. You know if it's not perfect you'll just redo it till it's right. Love the video's, keep them coming as long as you can.
Genialne w swojej prostocie! Szukałem innego rozwiązania, ale ten pomysł podoba mi się bardziej.
Nice tool! And thanks for throwing in the measurements for the Americans in the crowd!
Good idea my son 👌👌💖💖🇮🇳🇮🇳
Da ich sehr gerne mit dem Routertable arbeite, ist das Teil absolut perfekt für meine Zwecke. Super gemacht🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great idea! I made this, and it just works. Especially like it's ability to fine tune circles...
Woodworking is the best source for "that's what she said" opportunities. Just think about it . Shaft,embedding the nuts, and of course one of the most obvious "hardwood" I mean come on lol. By the way awesome project I'm gonna need to make one of these
Welcome back. Hope school is going well. It's good to see you again and loved the outtakes. Except the very last one. A bit scary. That small piece could be very painful.
Very nice! I was thinking of putting holes in my table, for common diameters, but that would require a hole through the work piece. A pin slider in your table might also work...
We can tell this is your first video in a while, that was a long outtakes section. Great job.
For smal cirkels it looks like a great design and the Double function as an beam compas looks great a while back I made a cirkel jig wich is basecly the same design but just larger and instead the hole fore the bearing I had the router mounted
Great Video! You could add a detachable handheld router mounting plate to the other end for partial depth and oversize sheet solutions that don't fit on the router table.
Thank you! Great idea and well communicated. I've made a circle jig for all all my cutting tools, except my router. I've been using a Jasper jig, which works well, but is a tad difficult when cutting an exact size (combo of jig and bits can get a bit tedious). Whatever your life goals are, I predict a bright future ahead of you.
So happy you've posted a new video! You look great! Useful little project too. Simple, but smart.
Holy shit, that's one of those 'why didn't I think of that' type things... great job man.
Dear Sir,
Your jig is simple yet highly effective for reasonable sized circles. very well done. Kind regards.
Nice. I saw a bandsaw circle-cutting jig on the Swallow Forge channel that'd probably work better for larger pieces. This looks more convenient for smaller circles, though, as it's more compact.
That last out take with the pine.glad to see it's not just me it happens to.😁😁
very smart- been looking at so many techniques, this is great for making continuous batches!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Its a great jig! I'd also mark the jig with measurement marks to make setting up distances even faster.
Nice and small Jig,great done
Marius,wie üblich, die Outtakes sind einfach der Hammer.Eigentlich müsstest du da mal ein Special von machen.
very simple and a really good idea bro. am gonna have one for myself.
That last outtake made me flinch.
Simple and effective, a brilliant jig and make vid.
Klasse Helfer! Kommt definitiv auf meine ToDo-Liste!
I made one of these a while back when making my Thien separator, that will probably be where you originally saw this router table circle jig :)
I think you are likely correct. www.jpthien.com/cj.htm
Good idea another. Advantage is the lightweight and low cost of the trim router and 1/4" router bits !
Very nice jig, i could see this work with a handheld router as well. Just a little wider board, or an add on piece so the base is a little more stable. With a flush cut bit with a bearing on the other side. Then u could do inside circles as well, as long as you leave some tabs and don’t go all the way through.
Yes, but tons of people already made such a jig on RUclips...me included...soon
That’s true, but this one does both, if you make such an accessory 😊👍🏼
But then it's not as small as it is now
I am happy to see you again
Absolutely brilliant, whether you came up with the idea or not.
nice work
i want to be woodworking but don't have tools:(
Simple but clever. I like it.
This is a really nice jig. I may have to build one. I love the outtakes.
Nice jig! I like the out takes as well. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, once you turn on the camera... :)
Thank God things go wrong only when you turn on a camera!
thanks for sharing. I am going to make one like it. Great idea for small circles. You did great job. Thumbs up buddy.
EXCELLENT - Very nice work - very nice video - Larry
Very clever and beautifully simple, definately on my things to make list
In cuts moments at the finish you have good reflexes!,.. Congrats for your vids, from Romania!
I enjoy your videos and also the Outtakes
Thank you. Great job and very easy to follow. The jig works great and is a great addition to my tool set. Thanks again for sharing.
love the outtakes!
This guy is very genius. However, an idea to improve this jig to fit different sizes of router bits is to make its head interchangeable. Got it?! Good luck.
You become taller during the video (0:04 ~ 7:40)! And changed your haircut! And made a great jig! =)
Also, soon Rockler-ish companies will sell this, for sure. They capitalize all DIY principles, like jigs.
Also 2, you needed a long outtakes section to compensate the jig geniality, how humble you are, hahahahahahah
Brilliant. The solution that I was looking for! Thanks.
So simple and so genius. Awesome video!
Now that's a neat circle jig! Thank you.
Wow, I missed this post, I'm just watching now .... With my like, it's now 499
Praktischer Helfer!
Schön, dass du wieder ein Video hochgeladen hast :)
Heeey, we missed you!
Great idea, love your videos as always!
Excellent jig. Excellent video as per usual. That piece splitting off in the outtake, tho !
It's all fun and games until you get a haircut in the middle of a video and make your viewers start questioning their sanity.
But, so he can use the same (now washed) t-shirt again ;-)
have fun
Gerhard
@@GerhardChristmann Maybe he started with short hair & it took him that long to make the jig.
You are a genius!
Missed you - hope UNI is going well - great video - cool jig - loved the outakes as usual =)
Fantastic jig and a great idea.
Missed you. Keep up the videos your a natural. Love the outtakes too
Tolle Vorrichtung, vor allem schön klein.
In der Metalltechnik ist es wichtig, ob man Gleich- oder Gegenlauf fräst. Da bekommt man mit Gleichlauf meist die bessere Oberfläche hin. Wie sieht es in der Holztechnik aus? Gefühlt würde ich die Vorrichtung nur Gegenläufig benutzen für höhere Sicherheit.
Gleichlauf kann meistens die bessere Oberfläche hinterlassen, aber Gegenlauf ist bei Handvorschub eigentlich Pflicht. Hier würde der Fräser im Gleichluaf den Kreis wahrscheinlich mitreißen.
Thanks for sharing, very good idea! Eventually you can kindof go with multiply paths when going from top to bottom. (That is not ideal tho.)
Nice, thank you for sharing.
Nice jig!
Great looking circle cutter Marius
nice simple smart mechanics. thanks for sharing.
Glad to see a posting! Been looking for something for you for some time now. That was great, thanks!
Brilliant, I shall make one of those jigs. A very useful tool.to have. Thank you for sharing. Love the out takes 😀😁♥️😚🐣🐥
Great video, nice tool and…. you can at any time change career as a successful comedian
Nice jig! Thanks for sharing!!! I'm putting this on my "to do" list for sure!
At first I thought that some provision was needed to keep the jig perpendicular to the fence as a reference in order to guarantee a uniform diameter. However it seems that this is unnecessary as the jig pivots off the roller bearing. Is this correct?
Thank you your presentation is great.
yes, it pivots o no the bearing
simple, yet effective! thanks for sharing
You can also use this to round over the corners of rectangular workpieces.
Interesting jig. By the way, nice haircut...
Would you please make a video about effective ways to make/design a shop in confined areas? I would like to have my own shop but the room I have to work with is very limited.
Brilliant jig and a great video well done
Great jig! Love your channel, keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing the very practical tool...
These Nuts, ha get´en.
Hallo, super Idee 💡. Danke für das Video.
