I've looked thru all the mags & books I have & I still can't find a plan for a simple circle cutting jig for a 12" bandsaw. I found several that were add-on pieces to a shop made table complete with track but I just need the simplest of jigs.
Anybody know where I should be looking?

Norm's circle cutting jig is simply a strip of plywood about 12" wide and 4' long which slips over the bandsaw table and is supported on the far end with an outfeed roller stand (or even a ladder rung would probably work) to level it. It simply has a series of 1/4" holes which you slip a short dowel into and into a corresponding hole in the underside of your tabletop. Place the dowel in the hole that matches your radius and give it a spin.

Thanks for the reply, that's the one I was thinking of, but I still can't remember the folowing...Does the plywood cover the entire table or just up to the blade? Is there a bar that locks it into the miter slot? Or is it just clamped to the table? I thought about sticky back tape but then the wax on the table prevents adhesion.

IIRC...norm used a flat head bolt and wing nut to attach it to his b/s... :confused:
