- must have for speaker enclosure building
Simply put, this circle jig is the best I have yet used. No more measuring off the distance on your router, all the measurements are done for you! I used this jig with a Skil 1825 and it bolted right up to the base (for the most part). My only complaint on mounting is that the provided screws were to long with the factory base plate removed so I had to find others. However since my router is not officially listed as compatible it is really no fault of the product.

All my holes come out with precision and neatness, and this tool is very useful for making flushed in speaker baffles. On that note though, is where it loses one star for me. This jig will not cut a hole large enough to flush in a typical 18 inch driver. In terms of versatility, making the jig cut at least a 19 inch hole would have been better. Again, not a huge deal, but it does create inconvenience when working with 18 inch drivers.

- Why didn't I find this sooner?
If you make speaker cabinets, this jig makes cutting the baffle holes a breeze. You won't be sorry with this purchase!

- Works well
This product is designed to work with plunge routers. While it may be possible to use it with fixed base routers, I think it would be tricky and might compromise the tool's built in accuracy. A guide for selecting mounting holes for many routers is printed on the back of the shipping card, and was easy to follow. The product includes a pin and insert to allow centering on your router's base.

In use, some things worth mentioning: It is imperative you attach your workpiece to a substrate, both inside and outside the selected diameter circle you're cutting so as the cut is completed, nothing moves. Good quality double sided "turner's tape" worked well for me.

The product includes a 1/8" pin that goes through the jig and into the center of your workpiece. Might also be a good idea to drill into the substrate a bit as well, a touch more insurance the center piece doesn't move and ruin your cut.

Be aware you'll be turning the entire router around the central pivot, so leave yourself some room to walk around it so you can keep a good grip on your router's handles. Also, it pays to use your plunge router's stops to take partial depth cuts. I went through half inch hardwood plywood with a solid carbide Freud bit in three passes, leaving only about an eighth for the final pass to minimize forces on that turner's tape I used to hold things together, and had no problems.

- Jasper 200J Jig
Bought one of the $180 Routers to go with this Jig, which isn't calibrated for the provided scale - nothing simple math can't take care of. Also have gone through 4 X $15 bits in short order. They keep breaking at the stem. It is imperative that you keep the router flat with constant even down pressure while using this product. Overall, I don't know a better way to get a near perfect circle.

- No fine adjustment
This product works ok if you need a hole that is not too accurate. But if you need a 5" hole this thing may cut .03 under and there is no way to adjust it to make up for it. I needed to fit a steel plug into a hole and this tool cannot make a hole for it. I'll probably end up having to "egg shape" the mounting screw holes so I can fine tune my hole size. Also it would be very nice if the hole size markings were on both sides of the plate. As it is, the sizes are on the bottom making it difficult to see where to put the pin.
