Circle cutting jig

What’s the minimum diameter you can cut with this? It looks like it would work great.

Very nice. I threw my trammel together pretty quickly – it doesn’t look nearly as nice as this!

Tom,
I made my mother in law a quilt rack (I’ll post pictures of it in my projects someday) It required a 12” diameter circle in each leg, and this was almost all i could do to make it work, so i guess the short answer is a 6” radius.

Very well done. I bet you saved yourself plenty of money by making this one. Question though does it bind up at all when you run it at its full extension. Is there any vertical movement in it. Good Job

I must honestly say I’ve never used it at full extension . i made it this long in case i need it someday. as far as deflection goes, I figure it it does I’ll just use some double stick tape to put a piece of material midpoint.

thats cool. the ones that i make aren’t nearly that good because i just make them quickly on the rare equations when i need a circle. i think i would try to make a nice one like that. great job.
