Good jig looks good.

That’s going on my favorites; what bandsaw do you have?

doncutlip: Nothing fancy: its a Grizzly G0555P 14” Polar Bear Series. I’ve had it for a few months, and love it. I just added the 6” riser block and the Highland Woodworking Wood Slicer blade. I resawed some 1 1/2” red oak to use as a strip to wrap around the circle shelf for an edge, and it went through it with no wavering and no problem.

Thats a great jig. Its in my favorites as well. I am sure I will need to build it before too long. Thanks for sharing yopu project with us.

Nice jig and good idea. I have the same band saw and really like it. I will be ordering the riser block this week as all my old blades are finally worn out and I can buy the bigger ones needed without wasting then ones I have now.

Would love to hear some demensions on this will be putting in my fav’s as well.

Thx

Great fixture and a whole lot faster, cleaner and safer than any router setup.
Thanks

Nice fixture. I’d like to build something like this too!

Looks like a nice set up : )

May I ask why such a long center pin is being used ?
Example :
I use a pin that is only half an inch long. 1/4” goes into my jig and the other 1/4” goes into a shallow 1/4” hole , drilled in the center of my circle.
Maybe you cut several circles at once , and the through hole doesn’t matter ?

-- I'm absolutely positive that I couldn't be more uncertain!

Dusty56: the simple answer is, “that’s how long the nail is.” For the lazy susan, I’m cutting out a 3/4” hole anyway, so a long pin isn’t a big deal. But if I were doing a small table top, where a through hole would be bad, I could trim the nail off to be short like you suggest, and not go through the work.

LOL , ok : )
Thanks.

Yeah, I thought that was a Grizzly. I have a G0457.

Smart jig Douglas!

Great jig. I’m putting this in my favorites. I’d love to see a blog on “how to”, maybe with some dimensions.

Good design. Since it doesn’t lay on top of the table it doesn’t reduce the saw’s total cutting height. Also relatively small so it can be stored and mounted easily when needed. And….I’ve got just the scraps needed to build one. Thanks!
