I had a need to cut four 16" circles out of plywood today and used
it as
an
opportunity to try this on a table saw. Worked slick. Made a less
elaborate
base for the pivot point as it's not something I would do
frequently.
The
principle is what I wanted to explore.

Be sure to wear safety glasses if you try it. Obviously since I can
still
see to type this I wore mine :-) Lot's of small pieces can and did
kick
out
from the outside of the blade and table top

What's that? Something on the Internet that's true?!!!

I guess I'll go see woodguy.com. I'll be using this circle cutting
method soon.

But seriously I did use this method yesterday and the video saved me
some time figuring out a jig. I already had a sliding miter jig so
all I needed to do was add a 1/4" machine screw and drill a hole in
each piece to be cut. They needed a hole anyway. These were 16 1/4"
circles and I would not use this method for anything much smaller than
that. At least not without making/installing some guards.




and I would not use
this method for anything much smaller than that.

Yea, well I still have my fingers ;-)

I know. Real Men are deaf, blind in one eye, and have no more than seven
fingers.
