hey everyone...i finally made a router purchase and i can start cutting some wood more acuratly than with a jigsaw. While i attended the school in toronto....we used "circle jigs" for cutting speakers holes in the wood. and other materials...now...i'm not to sure how they were made. I need one and if anyone knows how i can make one or better yet...where i can purchase one....that would be great! I purchased a skil router that came with both punge and fixed bases....1/4" and 1/2" chucks. I have been to rona...home hardware and all of the above and i can't find one! Any help in locating one of these that will work with my router would be greatly appreciated...thanks alot!

use a piece of a metal dowel/rod thing. a wooden dowel would probably work well too.

I make mine out of 1/4 inch plexi. I cut it in the same tear drop shape. Then I cut out and drill the mounting holes for the router. Then I measure and drill holes the radius of the most popular holes that I cut. Make sure that you measure from the center of the router bit to the center of the hole you are drilling. Ir really is just a copy of the jasper one but only with holes that I choose.

how would i make it so instead of there being a series of holes...there is a slot that i culd slide the dowel piece up and down for all different sizes of holes...something that can be loosened and adjusted and tightened again using the teardrop shape...?
