How to cut out the inner circle of a small ring

Recommended Posts

Interesting. I always cut the middle out first, but leave about 1/16" of an inch, then route the outside, and simply pop the inside out with my finger, run sand paper and done.

Yep, same here.. You lose that same center mounting point and #$^^$#$^#^.. that isn't good, hehe.

Also, edouble101.. DAMNIT! Routers always cause me to go near deaf from using them and now they're doing it on a damn video. It never fails....

Routers are like bullet tweeters out of control.

Was going to post exactly the same, but you beat me to it. WAY easier.

Add respirator to that list. If I'm cutting MDF I always wear plugs, muffs, turn on the vac and wear a respirator.

It's not on my equipment list yet but I bet it also helps.
