Default Sanding a perfect circle on a disk sander

I have done it, so easy it's preposterous. Say the simplest circle
cutting jig for
use on a band saw:
The lower board must be larger so it can be clamped down onto the table, I
got
great results using the same on both machines.


Use a 1/4 pin for your bandsaw, 1/8 for your sander to make sure you get
those pesky tooth marks cleaned off. The miter to working surface is a half
inch different on mine, so I have to use two jigs.

Reason for this over a router is the uphill problem. If you use a router
and trammel, use a spiral bit.
