How do I cut a 6" circle out?
I am making a dog dish holder, and need to cut some 6" holes out for the
dishes. I have tried a jigsaw and hope to find a better method; I didn't get the line quite perfectly. Well, not even close, actually. I need to cut a few, so spending a few dollars is not objectionable. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I mean, other recommending that I get better with a jigsaw. |

A little expensive but much faster to setup and use than router
route... if you have a drill press. http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?familyid=799 Toller wrote: I am making a dog dish holder, and need to cut some 6" holes out for the dishes.

How do I cut a 6" circle out?
Well, I have a drill press but not a plunge router, so that might be a
solution. I am a bit concerned with just one cutter; seems like it would be unbalanced. That is not a problem? Actually I have one like it with two cutters, but it will only do about 5". I could remove one cutter and move the arm over an inch. I thought being unbalanced would be a killer, but will try it. Thanks. "SonomaProducts.com" wrote in message oups.com...

If you have a drill press with an appropriate low speed, there are fly cutters available that can do this. Some of these things claim to be useable in hand drills and probably are, but I have doubts about how neat a hole it would be possible to cut in a hand-held drill. http://www.holepro.com/ http://www.acehardware.com/product/i...ductId=1292919 http://www.generaltools.com/product....53§ionid=2 -- Better to be stuck up in a tree than tied to one.

A single cutter works fine. I hope you have a full size drill press. Run it
as slow as it will go. Clamp the workpiece securely (holding by hand is HIGHLY not recommended). Also, use a backer board so the pilot is solidly in something when the center piece is cut loose.

How do I cut a 6" circle out?
Yeah, I've seen the two knife version but I've always used to one-
sided jobs. Just run it at a slow speed and do a slow feed into the material. They work great in my opinion.

How do I cut a 6" circle out?
My suggestion is to stick with the jig saw. It's much quicker and you have one on hand. After the rough cut use a spindle sander to clean up to the lines. The bowls lips will cover up any small irregularities. Check out my efforts on a similar project in abpw 1 "Dog Dish Holder . Bill "Jon" wrote in message . ..

photo to ? Thanks. My suggestion is to stick with the jig saw. It's much quicker and you have one on hand. After the rough cut use a spindle sander to clean up to the lines.
