This is good stuff! I've been enjoying this thread. I'm still having difficulty understanding how the thing works tho. (I've previously been cutting my circles with nail clippers... ughh...) After reading the posts from this thread and the link to the other thread posted by Vicar, I gather that you slip the card in between the two pieces of pre-drilled plastic or metal. Than you push the flat end of the drill-bit into the correct sized hole and through the card. This will create a clean hole and a clean circle of card that will end up sitting in the drilled "well". I assume that each precise hole in the top piece of the jig will have a corrosponding, larger hole drilled into the jig base... right? Or is the hole supposed to be the same size as the one above to ensure a sharp, tight cut. But, I guess you'd have to have that bottom hole go completely through the jig base so that you could push out the cut circle with the drill bit. It sounds great and I definately plan to build one.
