    Default Handheld circle cutting jig for the router.

    I recently needed to cut out a circle for a project. I didn't need a fancy jig so I made this one with scrap plywood.

    I think that it was old technology then, China. Also works with a jig saw; that's what I used before I got my first router.

    A slight improvement is to make the jig from clear perspex or polycarbonate - not fully logical, but I feel more comfortable if I can see the work piece through the jig.
