Title: Router Circle Jig Question
Post by: Mikoturos on July 12, 2019, 01:17:48 PM
Hey, Phil?

Any particular reason the jig you show [http://www.jpthien.com/cj.htm] uses a 1/4" inside notch and a 1/2" outside notch for catching the bearing?

Why not make both notches 1/4" inch?

Sorry for the slow response.

1/4" because you're cutting the full depth of the material, because you're going to lose your pivot point when you're done.  1/2" is more difficult to plow through material.
