@kipdarks, annoying it did not work out as you planned. I bought a cheap circlecutter when I re-entered the hobby some years ago, and it worked for most jobs. After a few years i bought an expensive one, and that was a vast improvement that I use every now and then. Later on I have bought a cutting machine that will do almost anything you can imagine, but I still use the cutter a lot compared to the machine.
Fingers crossed that the next attempt will be succesfull!
