This is a simple version of an X-Y table as found on any milling machine. As others have mentioned, this use of a table saw is hugely hazardous, not to mention the work piece being elevated well above the table. Cut circles with a router and you’ll be done with far less work, or a lathe or a jig saw… Interesting video though

It's cool, it's clever, but it's also really a good way to lose another finger. This jig is not very safe for cutting circles on a table saw, but I can imagine it having other, better applications. I'd feel a little better if I had reason to believe you were doing this with an emergency brake on your table saw.

Saludos cordiales y bendiciones para usted y toda su familia es usted genial de Aguascalientes México Francisco gamez 💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 cuídense

Brilliant work my good man. Excellent photography too! Plus your lighting is very good always exposed properly so we don't miss any details. Each shot is carefully set up for maximum clarity and simplicity so anybody with even a basic knowledge of how things work can easily replicate the same given the tools and material. I enjoyed the fact that you decided not to add a narration track to it as most creators do. Personally I find those DYI videos that overlay the visuals with heavy metal constantly jangling my nerves quite detestable and so I avoid them for the most part. If they are good enough in the other ways I'll simply turn the volume off. 😁

Buen trabajo amigo

Eres muy ingenioso, felicitaciones

Felicidades por tu ingenio, sigo todos tus videos porque me parecen muy muy prácticos, solo un pequeño apunte que el cual me gustaría que tuvieses en cuenta, el colgar al principio o al final las dimensiones de los proyectos, con eso sería un 12 sobre 10. Lo dicho felicidades y gracias por compartir tu ingenio con todos.

Agradesco el compartir su conocimiento y la idea pero es sumamente poner en riesgo nuestras estremidades tan solo quien opera ese disco ya le falta el dedo indice de su mano izquierda optaría por otra herramienta bendiciones

Ingenio y habilidad.👍👏

Cómo siempre,,muy ingenioso, Con su permiso lo voy hacer,saludos desde Posadas

Be great if you need a lot of round pieces of wood. Loved watching your skill& ingenuity. Thanks

The reason it hasn't been pattented is because there are other ways of making a circle out of wood that are more efficient, faster, easier, safer, more economical, ect.

Not sure I want to take woodworking advice from someone who doesn't use a table saw as it is intended, has obviously removed all safety features, and is missing a finger.

Son ingeniosas las ideas, pero cada vez q veo uno de estos videos pienso... q suerte q tiene este hombre q solo le falta un dedo.... Para hacer círculos es mucho más sencillo y quedan mejor con un router y un soporte de madera agarrado al eje de la tabla.

Parabéns ficou muito bom 👏👏👏👏

Hey Maker. Great video. Thanks for sharing.🍁🍁👍👍

Very cool and useful idea...great job

Muy ingenioso.

Actually, I have two jigs built with that same turning radius concept. I use them on the large disc sander ony Shopsmith to cut circular inlays. Works like a dream. I like yours a little better tho. Now make a jig that can 30" circles.😁

Genial, mis mejores deseos en bendiciones 🛐

Complimenti bellissimo lavoro 👍

Great touch, and great job.

I noticed the way he used the table saw, then I noticed the missing finger and it made perfect sense.

I still think a safer, better way is to use an inexpensive saber/jig saw that will allow you to produce ANY dia.circle, up to 1 1/2" or even a 2" thickness; may take a bit longer!

Woooo bravooooo!!! Brilliant idea, but not guide …kind of dangerous, love it. Thanks

Would be safer to use it on a band saw than a table saw. Or rough out the circle and use it on a disk sander. The height off the table isn't as dangerous as lots of people are suggesting, but it would be much safer if the end rail were the same height as the side-rails and with a block bolted down on the other side of the blade to support the pieces you're cutting off. Then it would effectively just be a higher table top. Really, the biggest problem is that it's going to take a lot of mindfulness. The tape needs to be good every time because if the disk comes loose there will be pieces of it flying everywhere at best. Sawdust buildup in a number of places could cause catastrophic failure. Wear that causes any significant wiggle could be a major hazard. Very useful tool that you'll find variants of in a lot of machine shops. But would be safer to use with almost anything but a table saw. Build a router mount into the end of it even if circles is all you're using it for.

Nice job man 👍

I cut out perfect circles using my router without risking losing a finger on the table saw

Ótimo gabarito valeu muito BOM seu trabalho parabéns

Hopefully one of the big tool companies will see this and get their designers working on a small hand-held or bench-top model!

You are very smart fachi God bless you

Cant be patented once it is in the public domain, unless it is less than a year old. This is much older idea than that. But I agree its very cool. By the way if you use a simple router table, you can spin it one time through and you are DONE!!!!!!!!!

Nicely done! Excellent display of very useful and handy items that can be easily built for not-so-precision type items such as woodworking! (To avoid the hate responses, remember that metal working usually involves tolerances in the 0.001" range)

Buena idea pero eso lo haces facil con una caladora o una router sin necesidad de tanto trabajo y creo que hasta mas rapido es y mas economico con caladora o router.

Nice idea dear very good

Wow Nice Jig! Thanks for sharing

Fairly good DIY video for an adjustable stage/table. WRT the title, I think the patent ran out before the bronze age collapse. I suggest reading up on some history, and maybe the safety literature that comes with power tools.

Ainda não terminei de ver o vídeo e já dei um like..........este cara é de outro planeta.

I like your performance

Всё супер. 👍 Спасибо за познавательный видео обзор, и удачи тебе. 🤝

Those little wedges can be super dangerious! Use a zero clearance. People have been makung circles with similar devices for many years, on both table saws, routers, and bandsaws.

I made a jig to cut circles out of plywood on my table saw once. The first one came OK, but the second one was launched across the garage like a bullet, after it bounced off my hand. I waited a second to look to see if I still had fingers. I still had them but I learned not to do what this guy is doing. He's already lost one finger.

That's very clever!

Muy buen invento.

What is the size of the threaded rod? and bearing? Like how this gets to precision with a simple adjustment.

You Chanel is funy and great

Latest "Shake hands with Danger" video. Not surprised to see this saw operator is missing finger next to thumb.

Si es ingenioso pero creo que le falta mayor seguridad si uno es principiante corre peligro al trabajar

OK I was pretty worn out by the whole thing but damn, pretty cool way of cutting a circular piece of wood. Probably cut the job time in half or better.

Would be like trying to patent a hammer. It is a common table saw jig. You can make them for a band saw also and they work better. Way safer in my opinion. Sorry I don't mean to be negative. What I meant to say was. You have my full support. Good luck with your patent.

Gostei 👍

When people work with power tools or any type of industrial equipment, there are just certain hazard of that come with those jobs. Sometimes no matter how safe you are you could be the unlucky one, mostly due to the fact we are human and are not perfect no matter how much we might think we are. That's why we do have safety protocols to help mitigate that a bit, but that will not stop some accidents, or the accidents of others. All we can do is what we feel safe doing!

Lowes and Home Depot sells a circle cutting jig that is not expensive.

LOVE THE LACK OF GUARDS ON A LIVE BLADE.,., AND THE MISSING FINGER. CONNECTED?

Extremadamente peligroso para que crees que se invento la sierra caladora si no hay una sierra cinta Man?

Excelente trabajo. Pero no lo haría. Usaría otras formas menos complicadas y menos peligrosas.

Looks SUPER SAFE,.... Lefty.

If nothing else, can we appreciate his ability to drill holes with that hand held? I'm not sure I could make two holes in a 6 inch square block and have them meet in the middle like that without a drill press.

This technique has been around for years!!

Good idea.

Has pensado en el peligro? Menuda ventaja hacer una galleta a riesgo de perder la muñeca en el mejor de los casos

Just use a router on either a bought or homemade jig Perfect circle in a fraction of the time

Brilliant!!

Very dangerous. You need to have utmost respect for power tools. Someone could lose a finger using that jig.

this entire channel is bonkers tbh. it's a wonder this guy is still alive

Isee a lot of Spanish going on here and I have no idea how to say nub in Spanish but your close friends have got to be calling you Nubs coza your missing finger. Nubs !! Much love brother

One missing finger and still no guard???

Great idea

Pretty neat tool. But it seems like a lot of work just to be able to cut circles lol. I suppose maybe if you were doing a project that required you to cut many circles and be repeatable with it....it would save some time then.

Está cuarentena de 700 días ,ví siempre tus vídeos.

Muy útil su proyecto, ¿sería posible mejorar la seguridad, quizás asegurar el disco con otra herramienta? Gracias y saludos

I get perfect circles or any other shape on the CNC router.

You know I knew this video was gonna be good tutorial when I saw his missing finger. I just knew that this guy must know something about his craft.

muito bom.........Desde Brasil.....Bolsonaro2022

Good woodworker! Only missing 1 finger.

Way to go bro!

With the elevation of this, there is a potential hazard of losing another digit, kickback, or both. Use a router, screw, and scrap piece of wood. This way you can save the other 9 digits man. If you've not felt kickback, then I advise to reconsider doing it this way. Had kickback that bruised my chest for like 3-4 months.

I will be making one of these.👍👍👍👍👍

very smart idea...good job 😎👍

Reason nobody uses this is because a router and a circle jig are much faster. NEVER cut on a table saw without a guard and an anti-kickback device. This is VERY dangerous

Great idea! To bad u didn’t think of it sooner (pointer finger)😆

Are plans available for this neat tool?

You really don't need a jig to make a circular cut on a table saw! Just a Center pivot point & slowly raise the blade!

Ай молодец 🤝👍

That was nice and all but I’ve found it’s much easier to just drive a nail through the board and spin the board on the nail.

Y eso para q sirve aparte de mutilarse los dedos

No es recomendable por el peligro que implica..con un sierra caladora es más seguro.. cuidense

I cant help wondering, is this how he managed to loose his finger.

Formidável

Fingers close to blade is a no no, be really careful .

I'm glad I fast forwarded till the end... There are much easier/safer ways to cut a circle 🤷

It's a whole lot easier to cut circles on a bandsaw.

Don’t know I would trust this. Looks like he is missing an index finger

Спасибо)

Todos elementos que ya existen. El juntarlos no da mérito a una patente, salvo que produzca un efecto nuevo o inesperado. Y aún así, no sería más que un “modelo de utilidad”, no una patente de invención.

They make this tool called a jigsaw and it's a lot safer to use to make circles and with a little practice you'll be faster as well. Dangerous. 90% of major injuries are using the table saw IMO. I almost lost part of my hand but got lucky and it missed.

I could cut a 100 small discs like this on a band saw before this guy could cut 10 with this jig, and I would not need a jig to do it either. What this guy is doing here is extremely dangerous because the blade is too high and with this jig he runs the risk of kickback.

Para eso existe la sierra cinta!! Así solo te complicas el trabajo.

This isn't a jig that should be sold to the public, way too dangerous. If you want to cut a circle on the table saw, build the jig yourself. If you've got the ability to do that, then you're probably competent enough to use it with relative safety.

I've seen this b/4 I think a clear guard can be installed near the blade, I would think the Author of this video would agree since he is missing his left point finger... Just a suggestion😏 Safety 1st Y'all😕
