Hell yeah, I know I LOVE my circle jigs.  Still not sure how I ever did it before I had them, lol.

If a Jasper Jig is not available, you can DIY a jig. This one is adjustable, I can cut anywhere between 1" and 20" diameter.

Well my dad bought me a router a few months ago. Never used it yet. The only thing I would need is the jasper circle jig. I found it on PE for $40.

 

My dad did tell me though he bought something that helps me make perfect circles when cutting holes. I don't know what it is though lol

And works WAY better. I hate the Jasper jigs. I like my flush mounts closer than their spacing which is never right.
