how is it possible to make a circle cut with this, say 2.5 inches in diameter, when the base of my dewalt DW618 is larger then 2.5 inches?

You can't. Jig and router much too large. You are better off using a hole saw bit for that size and then cleaning it up with the router.

The router is centered up on the jig plate! Then insert 1/8" pin or drill bit into 1/8" center hole of circle to be routed. Find corresponding hole on jig and insert pin into that hole and route out circle. Pretty straight forward. Practice on scrap stock before moving onto your project. Instructions & centering piece come with jig. But this hole size may be too small for the jig to handle. A hole saw a better way to go

You take the base plate off of your router and mount this to it instead. I don't know about your router but mine has a huge open area with the base plate removed where you could use the very first hole of the jig. For the really small circles the pin would be inside the the open cavity of the router body and you wouldn't really see it well. You probably wouldn't be able to use any of the pin holes that fall directly under the body of the router itself. Yes there will be some of the pin holes that you cannot use with a particular router but I'm pretty sure you can step up to a larger bit to help make up for it. Take a closer look at your router and the picture of the jig here and it should make sense. You take the base plate off of your router and mount this to it instead.

I have been wondering the same thing I imagine you would have to cut it to the desired length with a grinder or saw that would cut it without damaging it.

I would assume not as small as you need. I model too and have to use a pin vise. Maybe they make an adapter for the chuck?

Neva, I purchased a dewalt DW5780B151 Chisel. Not to sound like an ass but the chisel and moil point only fit in one way. Perhaps you were already aware of this. Good luck , Dan

The drill bit doesn't have the size labeled on it. I used a caliper to measure it and it is 0.245" or converted to mm 6.223mm

Hi Joe,This unit uses a 1/4" shank and no bigger than a 1-3/8" diameter cutting bit.

Depends how big the circle is . If its the size of your fist or smaller then you want a circle drill bit attachment . If its for large circles a jigsaw . The reciprocating saw is a messy straight cutter good for pruning trees and cutting things in half . Jig saw will sit flatter on a surface and be more accurate for following a shape

Hello Tina, I don't have enough information to answer your question. I would need to know the model of your Ryobi saw. The two most important bits of information are: 1) the diameter of the blade and, 2) the diameter for the arbor which fits in the hole in the middle of the blade. For this Oldham blade these dimensions are: 5-1/2" blade diameter and 5/8" arbor diameter. You can check the instruction manual for your saw to find these dimensions. If you don't have the manual, you can go to: www dot ryobitools dot com/catalog/power_tools/all_saws (replace the word dot with periods and no spaces). Check the Service and Support link for your model, or go to the web page for your model, and you may find a link there for the manual, or the specifications for your model. Good luck.

As a follow-up. Download The DeWalt Sheet that shows all the vacuum adaptors DeWalt makes and look at the sizes. You will see that none of them fits a 2 1/2" O.D. port size.

Measure the diameter of the circular cutting blade. This blade can cut wood half of this diameter. But if the wood is twice the blade's diameter, cut one side then cut the other side that lines up with cut you just made - now you have just cut a board thickness that is equal to the diameter of the blade less the diameter of the nut that holds the blade to the cutoff tool. By the way, this tool was not designed for cutting wood. Use a skill saw for this:the blade is much larger.

if it is not in the directions I would advise to contact Dewalt for that information. I don't know it was a gift to my husband and I asked him and he does not know.sorry

I used a 5" circle saw and they fit perfectly. No info on dept because mine were installed in large enclosures.

Sorry but I can't say. I bought this as a backup and I haven't used it yet. Maybe Dewalt can tell you.

Sorry, Dave, I have no idea...you might want to check at a local hardware store and ask the tool people to explain that to you or contact DeWAlt directly...I'm sure they have a customer service number or email.

If you are making a hole, you do not need to adjust the measurement. If you are making a "wheel" (circle), you need to subtract 1/2 inch from the measurement (=1/4 inch removed from both sides of the circle.)

If you had a large enough drill bit i think you could drill afew holes in a circle and "connect-the-dots" with an electric jig-saw. Thats an idea :)
