[QUOTE="Visor57, post: 94716, member: 759"] Here's a tip I'd like to share which adds to Ian's point above; always make use of "sacrificial" wood to keep your cuts aligned and clean. You could then secure your custom circle jig to the sacrificial wood below the piece being cut, so that once you cut through everything stays in place while at the same time protecting your workbench from accidental cuts/holes. For some pieces I also like to fasten the piece being cut to the sacrificial wood using recessed screws, just to be sure nothing moves around while I'm using a router (make sure the screws are nowhere near the cutting path). Another rule of thumb for router plunge cuts using a straight bit; maximum cut depth per pass should never be greater than the width of the bit, so if you have a 1/8" (6mm) straight bit, never cut deeper than 6mm in a single pass. Depending on the precision of your cut, you may even want to do half of that per pass (this also helps your vacuum cleaner keep up if you have one connected ;)). [/QUOTE]
