If anyone was looking for plans to make a circle cutter, it dawned on me that for $10 you can by a drywall circle cutter at a home improvement store and use the pivot part with some 1/4" square stock to make a decent one without a lot of machining work. I use the same pivot and have different guides made up for a plasma cutter, oxy-acetylene and a roto-zip tool.

I might have to look at doing that, myself.
I love a clever hack of an otherwise simple, everyday tool of one trade into something useful for another, in place of a much more expensive "purpose built" tool.
Always "work smarter, not harder". Well done, Chuck!
