Hi Taff,

Thanks for this. I bought an older version of the lmi circle cutter a week or so ago (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5881). I believe it has the same cutter as yours. I haven't had a chance to sharpen and test it yet.

Can you comment on how well it cuts? What is your process etc? Upsides or downsides as apposed to just using a router based cutter by itself?

Cheers.
Jeremy D
