Wondered if anyone has used the circle jig for the Jig saw and what their impression of how easy/well it cut?  Seems a bit pricy at $30.  Any other setups that would work and have other functions?

The jig is OK.  I found it to be "finicky" but was able to cut perfect circles with it.

I tested this and other circle jigs and reported the results in Test #6 in Reply #3 in the thread: http://festoolownersgroup.com/festool-tool-reviews/festool-carvex-420-(both-mains-and-battery-powered)-comparisons/

The biggest issue is fitting it to the saw -- it fits on and tightens with a bracket, which is not the easiest.  It also is limited in overall diameter.  It does work, just not with the same finesse at the Carvex's circle cutter.
