Fish Chris Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 .....its just freaking killing me that that stupid little piece of plastic with holes in it, is going for $45 ef'ing dollars ! R U Ef'ing kidding me ? Come on man... The plastic in that thing must be like less than .50 cents They must be making a 10,000% profit ! I really need one, but I just can't allow myself to be bent over like that. You can get cheap(er) knockoffs from China... like $13 to $16, so only like a 3000% profit, right ? ....but all of those options will take 3 to 4 weeks. And BTW, I don't even have a router yet.... but I can get a decent one of those, overnight with Amazon Prime for like $75-125. Only reason I haven't, is without a circle cutting jig, the router is basically useless to me Ef'ing killing me Any suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will77530 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 My suggestion you got to pay to play now you can make it yourself with some mdf or anything else but that’s not nearly as Instagram cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdc Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 At least it is good high quality plastic. Just bought one myself. Worth the investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 $45 for that tool is well worth it. The materials are not the only cost. Someone had to design it and pay for the manufacturing.

fishchris1 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Yea well, I decided to order one of the cheap Chinese knockoffs, so I will have it the next time. Honestly I don't think they are even worth $13... Nor the 3 week wait. But for my next box (next week) I'm just going to use a stick with a screw on both ends... To etch my circle, and the old jig saw to cut it. Yea, it will be freaking scalloped, but whatever. It will work just the same. Won't need to buy a router right now either. But heck, if that piece of plastic cost $45, you'd think a router would cost $4000.... A hundred dollars sounds like a freaking steal 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdc Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just fyi, that circle jig is designed to mount to 'plunge' routers and may not fit all standard routers. I had to modify the mounting holes a bit with my dremel to fit my Bosch router, no big deal though. Good luck and keep a steady hand on that jig saw!

fishchris1 Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 TY for or that reminder. I might need to get one of the $99 to $129 routers for the plunger option. But I'll be sure to get that type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshdashef Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 You could do it on the ultra cheap. Use two screws or nails to score a circle of desired diameter into wood, then use a jig saw to cut out and clean up with some sand paper. Costs nothing if you have a jig saw and sand paper because you will eventually end up with a scrap strip of mdf or something.
