The new circle cutter from Stew Mac has arrived. It's a quantum leap ahead of the old one, that has served many of us here for years. I haven't cut anything with it yet but will have a trial run on some scrap soon. A couple of pictures to compare the old one to the new. The adjustment seem very good, and the build quality is up to their usual standard. Bulk buy Lance? ![]() ![]() Colin |

Does anyone know what the minimum diameter hole the new base will cut? I need a minimum diameter of 2". Is it possible with the new base? I know the old one will not do it. Tracy |

Tracy, the new base looks as if it'll go down to 3" same as the old one. 2" for a soundport? If you had a new one you could always customise the old one by extending the two slots by 1/2" in opposite directions, top one towards the end, lower one towards the cutter, there is just enough metal to do that, that would give you a 2" circle.

Thanks Colin! The 2" circle is used for cigar box ukulele's, and rosettes for cigar box ukuleles. Also for doing the spiral rosettes. I'll try to just modify the one I have. Thanks! Tracy |

Wow, Colin, that was fast for international shipping! Another "attaboy" to Stew-Mac! Looks like they've turned your initial "complaint" into a lot of good will, from you and others on this forum. Now, that's good business! ![]() |

Carlton I live in a rural part of the UK, and Stewmac deliver to me in 2 days, via DHL from Ohio, to ship for instance three sets of waverleys costs $ 22.00 incredible. They are faster than most of my UK Suppliers ! They have some incrediable logistics, LMI via Fedex are about the same, just a bit more expensive on shipping, I have always assumed this is because they are West Cost |

Got mine yesterday! No chance to test it out but I can already tell the micro-adjust mechanism is going to help a lot! Yay! |

I don't understand a group buy on this product? Stew-Mac does not offer a discount on this. Am I missing something? |

I guess we are hoping that Lance and the boys can negotiate something if we have enough buyers.........maybe! Mike White Oak, Texas |
