Two versatile, adjustable router circle jigs that offer excellent precision, and do not require unscrewing the base plate. A rugged, low-cost design that is compact, easy to store, and sets up in seconds.
I am not offering plans, because this jig has to be adapted to each router model. However, the video contains all the critical dimensions and enough construction detail to guide a viewer who wants to build a similar jig.
I am not sponsored by DeWalt, Coca Cola, or any other products seen in my videos.
Sources for components:
The plunge router I used: amzn.to/2F47kGG
Ordinary steel rods are widely available in most hardware stores, and from many online sources. The zinc-plated variety resists rust better than the plain steel. Precision milled rods, such as those for CNC machines, are not required.
The threaded inserts I used are a zinc alloy made by E-Z Lok and available online. A package of 100 costs about $15. Many other suppliers offer similar products, and they are available in both metric and imperial sizes. Many hardware stores carry them.
Skate bearings measuring 22mm wide with an 8mm hub are available in many stores that supply skateboards and roller skates, as well as from more than 20 different suppliers online. They are typically about $1 per bearing. Cheap ones will work as well as premium versions for this use. However, the exact inner diameter of the hubs vary from brand to brand, so measure them with a caliper to match them to the threaded rod you are using.

Everyone before me has taking the words out of my mouth. I NEVER COMMENT on any KZfaq videos because there is no time for arguments or for me to clarify to someone who took my comment the wrong way. BUT, you sir are an PROFESSIONAL PROJECT ENGINEER / MACHINIST and I am very impressed and will now delete all other subscriptions I had for this type of work. As there is no need to waste time with anyone but the best!. And that is you sir with all due respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge! Your # 1 FAN Hugo Prado.

How I cut metal rod tends to help A LOT with locating the center of the rods (to gauge how far apart the holes need to be.) 1.) use a pipe cutter (the kind that you clamp and turn around the pipe like a can opener) and get as deep a score line as I can. 2.) put the end of the rod in an electric hand drill. If its long then you may need to prop up the other end. 3.) use the drill to spin the rod while sawing it at the score line. Since your setup is like a makeshift lathe, your cut is always going to end in the center of the rod. A tiny nib will be left in the dead center if done right.

The best router circle jigs on KZfaq. I also like the tip of inserting the thread into the timber using the drill press. Thanks

Wow! I made something similar using wood BBQ skewers (I'm a cook by trade) glued into a crossbar instead of your through metal rods. I adjusted the circumference at the router, not the pivot side. This is much more accurate and easy to adjust. Thanks!

Exelent hack with the coke can shim. We used to pack worn swinging arm bearings on our MX bikes back in the late 70’s early 80’s exact same way. Even finer tolerance these days with the paper thin material. I’m embarking on making a large router compass to cut 300/400mm curves out of 18mm exterior ply for a shepherds hut roof for a shipping container 🤘🍀

From an American scientist living in Europe, I appreciate that you give your measurements in both Metric and Imperial! So do my friends in the UK, they have to deal with both all the time and stopping to do the calc is just another hassle.

The graphic animation also worked wonders and all together one of the best jig making videos I have ever seen. Thanks a lot for the effort. P.S. I love the metric measurements as well!

Beautifully engineered (as all your stuff is). I mean, these are far and away the nicest jigs - from any KZfaq creator - that I've seen. I want to make one where the end piece is reversible: circle cutting on one side, edge guide on the other.

Thanks Patrick for sharing - After struggling with and finally returning the Milescraft circle guide kit I found your video. As you mentioned, the second option swivels and held in place by glue rather than a screw that damages the wood, which is phenomenal.
