I make mine out of 1/8 plexi, you could try select products and it is called a perfect circle.

There are several generic kits out there.  I have seen several of them at woodworking stores.  I however agree with auex in building one out of plexi.  That is what I did and I made mine adjustable and also it can make ovals too.  I have found if you take the time you can custom build a lot of add ons like this and make them better, cheaper, and more geared to what you are going to use it for than what the manufacturer intended the jig to be used for.  Good luck.

I use the one made by Jasper Audio which can be bought at parts express. Here's a link:

I have a Craftsman plunge router as well and I just made mine out of 1/4 inch plywood. I use it for a while until it wears out and make another. Very inexpensive, but works the same as anything else. I have only had to make 2 because the first one lasted me forever.

I have both Jasper jigs both work very welland strongly suggest, 1/16 inch hole incramints - very useful

I use and recommend the Jasper jigs. Amazon carries them at the best price. Do a search for "jasper circle jig".
