circle cutting with OF 1400

[HowardH]

Is there a jig out there besides the MFS that will allow this router to cut circles?  The Jasper jig looks great but doesn't adapt for the Festool.  Has Festool got a solution?  I have a Milescraft I had for my Bosch 1617 but it also won't adapt to the 1400.  This is another anti-Festool conspiracy!

You could go with a Micro Fence - they offer a festool adapter with their circle cutting jig - it's pricey but amazing accuracy and quality. 

Watch their videos and you'll learn a lot.  Circle jig is at http://microfence.com/circle-complete-p-54.html  They claim circles from an a few inches to over a dozen feet in diameter...

you ain't woofin' about it being pricey!  WOW!  Makes my Festools look like the bargain they are!

If you don't need the precision of the micro fence for mating inside and outside circles, here is an option that is on closeout at vac-u-clamp.  It is a vacuum center and very heavy duty.  And you can add unlimited length for any size circle or arc by adding the threaded bars. (19.99 for each 24" segment) I plan on getting the microfence system eventually, but I got this in the mean time since it is marked down from 249.00 to 69.00.  It is high quality, nicely machined and heavy duty for continuous commercial use.  You do need a separate vacuum source which I purchased form them previously.
