Router Circle Jig Edge Guide

Build a circle jig that doubles as an edge guide.

Measure up a length of 1/4 inch thick wood that will accommodate a router.

Measure and cut a piece of wood to use as a guide.

Cut the 1/4 inch thick wood to size.

Cut a second piece of wood that is slightly shorter than the one that will attach to the router. Mark three lines equidistant down the length of the piece.

Rout out the three lines on the top piece and a slightly wider section on the bottom piece.

Mark holes for the router base.

Drill the holes.

Glue the two pieces together.

Use a forstner bit to drill holes that will set the screw heads flush with the bottom of the piece.

Sand the square end of the wood to a round shape.

Use oil or varnish to protect the wood.

Drill the edge guide to accommodate hardware.

To make the edge guide put the guide under the unit and fasten.

To make the circle jig put the guide on top of the unit and fasten. Then fasten a screw into the center of the radius to cut a circle.
