Robert8252 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Jigsaw if you have on. Other wise you can get a router for $25 and a bit for $3-5 at harbor freight. Won't be as good as a namebrand and might take a extra minute to cut the hole but it will be s circle. Use a piece of MDF and make your own circle jig. Or a jigsaw and a compass to draw the circle but it can be a pain and a real bitch if you plan to double baffle. Heres "circle" I cut with a jigsaw And here's a real circle with a router Quote 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig28 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I have a jigzaw but gettin a hole drawn is the real problem Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength! You never know how strong you are until you cold-cock a woman in the head and break that bitches jaw. Next time she tries to punch you in the stomach, whip your wiener out and chase her around.

Craig28 Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Yeah but drawing a 2 inch circle vs a 14 inch circle is way different I don't think they make a compass with a 14 inch diameter Quote TEAM DC Everything is a 150 on th earometer Well I guess punching a woman is a good way to test your strength!

Robert8252 Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Here's how my brother finds the center of a circle to draw if using a jigsaw. It's a headache to do but works.

alehound Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 find your center point. lock your tape measure at 14 1/4 inches. lay your tape measure so the centerpoint lays at exactly at 7 1/8 inches. pencil mark at 0 and 14 1/4 inches. rotate. repeat. etc. draw circle. use jigsaw to cut out circle. shazam.
