How can you cut curves in wood?

Question

i need to cut a circle in wood but i dont have a jigsaw, plz help

Answer 1

You could use a rotary tool.  

Answer 2

depends on how thick the wood and how big the circle. a keyhole saw would work for most.

Answer 3

You could drill many small holes next to eachother around the circle and pop out the would only if it doesn't have to be perfect!

Answer 4

There are many different ways you can use a saw,jig saw and much more

Answer 5

Do you need a wood circle or do you need a round hole in a piece of wood?  If you need a wood circle you could use a bandsaw.  A reciprocating saw like a Sawzall would work for either,  A coping saw might work.  If you need a wood circle you could cut an octagon with any saw and round the corners with sandpaper.

Answer 6

It depends on how large of a circle you need. If it only has to be a few inches, they have an attachment for a s***w gun that cuts circles.Sorry I can't remember what they are called.

Answer 7

many difrent ways to cut a circle.  The best way is to use a router with a plundg bit.  secure the router on a circle jig or peice of 1/4 in plywood.  set a nail in the jig at the radius of your circle and nail it to the wood you are cutting.  this will allow your router to move in a perfect circle around the radius point.  make a seriese of passes each slightly deaper with the bit until you are all the way threw.

  You can also use a table saw, but it is extreamly dangerous if you don't know exactly what you are doing.  It too will cut a perfect circle.

  a jig saww or coping saw will allso work, but circle will be iregular.

Answer 8

You could use a coping saw, a very inexpensive hand tool.  Less than $10 probably, and you could probably borrow one from someone.
