How do I make a perfect circle

without using the jasper jig. I look over at realmofexcursion and that sticky is gone now for some reason. I really don't want to go out and get one of these for a one time thing. Pictures or anything would be awsome.

Get some 1/4" MDF and the proper screws to attach to the base of your router.

Yes, this is how you can do it. You are essentially making your own jig.

Just like they said, make your own. I made one a couple months ago. Took a bunch of careful measurements, and it worked out perfect. If you're building a decent box, you should easily be able to make one. Took me a while, because I didn't want to f*** it up, but it's easy. If you have no idea where to start, Google it. I found a good write-up to make sure the way I planned it was right.

FWIW used 1/4" scrap wood shit. Cardboard would work in a pinch.

1. Threaded rod and one bolt.

2. Drill hole in end of rod so that a nail or a screw will fit inside.

3. Attach pencil to bolt on rod.

4. You now have an adjustable circle marker!
