There really isnt a standard, its just a piece of wood cut to the size you need.

Umm this might be a stupid question but how am I supposed to make a perfect circle with a jigsaw for a box.

tell me the size and ill router them out for you. i am making the last of some 12 rings today. it will be no trouble. for a very small fee. very small.

router is best but if all you have is a jigsaw then follow the line, take your time then sand it smooth. Thats what i did on my last box cause my ruoter didnt arrive yet when I made that box.

to cut out the inside see if you can find one of thoes drill saw bits.. a bit that you can run sideways as a saw... or just drill a big enough hole to get the jigsaw blade into then cut it out.

since when did rings require a perfect circle? You can trace a template and unless you have parkinsons you can cut rings with a jigsaw.

I used a jigsaw for my box cut out as well (another ring). Unless your some sort of tolerance queen there is room for error and imperfection that still allows a complete seal. Matter of fact the whole system was done with a jigsaw (and a cheap one at that).

and if your mad now take some of that car audio money and get high speed lol

Ok so how are you supposed to make the 14 and 3/4 inch circle or whatever it is for a 15.

Take a piece of cardboard, cut it out in to a long rectangle, puncture a hole at one end and measure all the way to the other side of the cardboard 14 and 3/4 inches and pincture another hole. Nail one hole to the mdf and using the other hole put a pencil in there and draw a circle all the way around. very simple

Kuijo, you are a genious. That might be the simplest idea I have ever heard but it works. Thanks for you help. Chief
