Bob,
You might consider one of the available circle cutter bases for your router. If the top is thick just rout a circle about 1/2 the depth of the tops thickness. Use your jig saw to cut the rest of the way through but stay away from the router cut. Leave about an eighth of an inch on the top. Then use a pattern bit with a top bearing and follow the edge you cut with the router. Aftrer you have the top cut out you can do edge shaping with any router bit with a bearing. Another option if you have band saw is to use my circle cutter for the band saw. Either of these will leave a small hole to fill in the center of the table. If you go with the router you can cut from the under side of the table and then the hole will not be visable. You also might want to make or buy an extended router base to help support the router while doing the edge detail. Hope this helps. -- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon |

Lance, Also if you have a router table, you could make a wood fence of the same radius as your top and clamp that on the table as a guide to run against. -- miles125, Alabama.."Architecture is frozen music"" |

Put a piece of strofoam under it and cut all the way through it. -- WOOD/DON (...one has the right to ones opinion but not the right to ones own facts...) |

That will work too, Don. But I would make at least two passes at it. -- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon |
