I do not know of any compact circle shears, but:

Why not use the lathe itself to cut your circles? Large plywood circle on a
faceplate and a large diameter disk on the tailstock live center. Use a
high speed steel cutter carefully. Not much to store.

I am looking for a circle shear to support the Karle metal spinning
lathe (12" swing) that I have.

Since both the lathe and shear will be used infrequently, I am looking
for one that is easily stored.

What brand and model would you recommend?

Thanks
