Well after a little test driving, this configuration may be worth refining. I used an old miter gauge 'tongue', an oak runner and an old piece of melamine.


The two screwheads act as a stop. There is enough overhang at the front of the saw that I just hold the jig in place by leaning against it.

Drill a hole in the blank to fit the "adjustable positioner" screwhead :rofl:

The runner allows me to slide into the initial cut. The screwhead 'stops' . . . well, stop me.

Give the blank a spin and there you are.

Took me a minute or two to figure out how you were doing it, but I get it now, and it's a great approach. :thumb:

So...why the sudden fascination with round things lately Glenn?

I know something that'll fix that. :rofl:
