Router Guides

Prater · 11/06/2007, 08:48 AM

I am looking for a router guide for cutting circles in my acrylic. I just cant find one that looks like it does the job good locally. Just wondering what everyone here uses and how you like it. I just used a cheap circle cutter to cut some 5 1/2 inch holes but I think a router will do a better job for me.

Thanks.

If you have a router table you dont need one. Just a scrap of plywood with a screw is fine.

Thanks Don. I will try that on my next piece. I would still like opinions on guides.

If you want to buy one the Jasper is the best one out there.

Or use a template-guide ( or bearing of the right size) and a template combo.

If a template of the correct size can be cut I'd prefer this method.

The template must be of a certian size.
