Hey all,
Rosette and circle cutting using a laminate trimmer.
Here's how I adapted the Stew Mac rosette and circle cutting jig for my laminate trimmer. The stew Mac jig is great - but it's only set up for their dremel plunge base. I wanted to be able to use my laminate trimmer instead.
Their jig is super slick and well worth the price.
I match drilled a 1/4" thick piece of Lexan to the holes in the router base.
Then I match drilled and countersunk 2 additional holes in the Stew Mac base. This lets me use 3 of the 4 holes in the router base.
Fit it together and cut a slot for the adjustable tongue to slide in and out
Then - a few flat head screws to hold the whole thing together.
Once it was all fitted and verified - I superglued the lexan adapter to the circle jig so I don't have to fidde around trying to remember how the holes line up...
Note - you will have to make a 2nd shorter center pin out of a drill bit or dowel pin for smaller holes.
And here's an action shot.
