This accessory is more than just a circle jig. Its versatility allow it to be used in several configurations.
-
It has a circle range from 8 to over 60-inches.

user made extensions can increase its range as big as you want without having to buy and expensive extruded extension.

It can be raised so that a center pivot can be attached to your work with double-sided tape so you don't
have to drill a pivot hole in the work piece when it isn't appropriate.
-
It also adapts to work in conjunction with the axis plate to form the elliptical jig.
-
It has the fast change feature of taking 30 seconds or less to install and the ability to adjust within thousands
of an inch (.001") giving you milling machine accuracy.

Optional Axis Plate Extensions
The standard elliptical jig has a 9" X 9" axis plate. With
the 9" plate you can cut ovals with up to a 12" differential between the major and minor diameter. If you add the optional
6" extensions you can increase the differential up to 24".
Optional LCJ Extensions
With the LCJ extensions you can increase the circle diameter and
major diameter of ellipses from 60 inches to over 80 inches. These are a good addition to anyone purchasing the Axis Plate
extensions.
When you purchase the Router Buddy System you
will have everything needed to do precision edge work on both straight and curved edges with the fence, circles from 2" to
as big as you're willing to add extensions for, cut a large variety of elliptical shapes for table tops, picture or mirror
frames, signs, window cut-outs, and more, use the base plate with template bushings for making dovetail joints or use
the base plate as a stand alone item. Set up times between any of these changes can usually be made in seconds.

A few comment about tools and routers
Routers are considered to be the most versatile tool in the workshop. Is this true in your shop? Are
you using your router as often as you should? If not, it may be because you do not have the accessories that make the router
easy to set-up and use. I have found most woodworkers are in this category. In fact it's not unusual for people
to own several routers so they don't have to change their set-ups because it takes too much time. The
Router Buddy Base Plate System presented here is the solution to these problems. It is a system where each component is integrated
to work with each other. The result is it's the least expensive way to properly equip your router to get all the
benefits that a hand held router has to offer. It is also the easiest and fastest to convert from one function to the
other with most changes taking less than 30 seconds. With the added speed woodworkers are using their routers more often and
doing more projects.
Our system fits the criteria as a Time Management &
Life Simplification Tool.
