I purchased this jig for custom sign shapes for my sign carving business. The instructions were very clear and easy to have for reference right on the jig. After playing around with the jig on some scrap plywood, I gave it a try. I used a 1/2 inch spiral upcut bit in my plunge router and made gradual cuts in 1/4 inch increments. Very easy to use and made a perfect oval! Just take your time and take some practice cuts before you make a formal cut. The jig is very high quality, sturdy and fits my PC 890 series like a glove. I am using it again on a large custom sign and am looking forward to it. Great tool!

I have own it for about 3 years. This is a great jig , it comes with a 1 1/2" hole that you can use with a brass guide, in that way you don't need to bolt it to your router and the cord will not wind up on you and you can use it on any router you have. But with all oval jigs it has a built in error, but you can over come that by using the magic donuts rings that will take the error out of the jig You will not see the error until you want to make some oval picture frames or mirrors, the narrow parts are thinner but that's the down fall with all oval jigs. If you want to see how to make the donuts or how to use used them with 1 1/2" brass guide go to the routerfoums.com All in all I would say it's a great jig.and well worth the money.

I recently bought the ellipse jig to use with my Rigid Model 2930 2.25HP plunge router. I routed some oval tables out of plywood with a finished oak veneer surface. I used a half inch spiral upcut bit, which left no splintering. I had no problems attaching the jig to my router and it worked extremely well. You do have to make sure you have a good workbench and that your work and ellipse base are firmly secure. You also have to make sure your router power cord does not get tangled. I was able to consistently route out seven 18x36 inch ovals and was very happy with the results.

I bought the elipse jig and was very happy with it. The only modification I would recommend is to lightly chamfer the edges of the sliding keys so they don't catch on the jig plate intersection. Simple to use and acurate. I bought the large base plate so I could do a 36 x 24 coffe table. The only issue I found with the large base plate is the sliding keys were sloppy which gave a variance of 1/16 of an inch which magnifies to a 1/8" variation. the keys in the small jig plate fit snuggly with no play. I just use the sliding keys from the small plate in my large plate.

Whoever invented this product is a genius. I was a little apprehesive about how smoothly this jig would perform because there is so much that has to go right to make it work. I was very happy with the performance and the end result. Set-up was a breeze, and it fit easily on my Hitachi plunge router. I had to cut an eliptical opening out of a trash container top and it turned out perfectly. Thank you Rockler!

This is an excellent jig. I have been building fine furniture for years, and you need to use the tool for which it was designed. I took this out of the box, and cut a 36" circle from 1" hard maple. It took 4 passes, but the top came out beautiful. Not done, I then attached a 1" bull-nose bit in my router, and used the circle jig to cut the bull-nose. This is from Rockler, a company who designs tools for the home workshop. Again, stick with using the tool for which it was designed, you will never be disappointed!

This jig works great, remember to measure twice, check three times, cut once. Also I would recommend lubing the dovetail keys, this makes the jig work like a dream.
