I am looking for a photo / web site / written description of the making
of a jig for use on a band saw for cutting circles.

The idea is that you use an auxiliary table with a "Pin" in it, set the
pin at distance D/2 from the blade edge, mount the center point of the
material you want to cut the circle from on the "pin at one radius or 1/2
Diameter of the circle you want, and slowly "spin" the material on the pin
as a center point. The material goes into the blade, and you get your
circle.

My geometry is fine, but I'm having trouble rigging up the mechanical
mounting for the auxiliary table.

There's a circle cutting jig plan (along with plans for other shop jigs)
available from the New Yankee Workshop. See
