Anyone have some nice shots of a circle cutting jig built for a 14" Delta-style

No, because I don't have a nice camera.

You have two problems - sawing a circle, and sawing a tangent to this
circle so as to start the cut.

If you're clever, you can make a sliding jig where the guide pin slides
up to a stop adjacent to the blade, so that you can do the tangent start
thing.

If you're lazy, like wot I am, then you'll just nail a piece of thin
ply/MDF to the bandsaw table with a pin sticking up from it. Then drill
the pinholes in your stock at the right distance from the edge for
starting. Make a new jig for each size.


Or just buy your markers from the "picnic plates" aisle at Quickie-Mart
