How to Build a Band Saw Circle Cutting Jig

Occasionally, a set of woodworking plans will require the woodworker to cut circular shapes from plywood or other stock. While some curved cuts can be done by hand with a jigsaw, many projects like as a circular table top require a level of precision that even the most steady hand on a band saw or jig saw can't cut.

In this set of free woodworking plans, we show you how to build a simple but very effective Band Saw Circle Cutting Jig. This jig will allow for cuts of up to eight feet in diameter, although most of your cuts will likely be a lot smaller. It is easy to make and even easier to use. Build one today!
