Dremel Circle Cutter For Under $10

Why buy a dremel circle cutter when you can build one for less than $10. This cutter can be repositionable if you measure out each spot and simply move your pivot knob to the correct hole.. This cutter will help cut circles in anything from acrylic to aluminum. This is my first instructable and here we good.

Rockout101,

hello.This instructable seems cool. (There's also not much circle cutters here).I'm really sorry but I couln't get how the multiuse cutter cuts the circle.Can you please tell more about the cutting process?

  i never thought of using a dremel to cut circles (saying that i dont use my dremel much it costs too much )

Those tools can be much cheaper in small shops.If you use them very carefully, they can last for a long time without burning up.

So are you cutting through the small circle and then into the material you're cutting, or ??? I like the concept, but it just seems to be able to be refined so much and so easily. I'll give you this: you thought of it, I didn't, so nice job, friend. Let me know the answer to my initial question though. I can't get a grip on exactly how you'e going to contact the cutting surface.

The small hole in the cutter helps the dremel cutting blade go through and cut out the circles. I would recommend a thinner board so you cut thicker circles. To cut out the circles of you material you need to make a small hole about the radius of the circle you want to make and then stick in the center screw in the cutter. If the material is bigger then the cutter itself then you will have to make another hole on the outside of the circle to help allow the dremel blade start cuting the circle. If you have anymore questions just ask! If you want to improve the design go ahead, I am open for new concepts. Thanks.
