    What will you be using to make the cut - a router or jigsaw?
    These jigs are easily made yourself.
    See here for a router jig
    You could apply the same principle to a jigsaw jig.

    Thanks guy am looking for something that would be easy lift off and placed again.

    I think the screw part of that jig would slow me down a little

    would there be anywhere i could find something like a jasper jig?

    oh and its for a router, sorry i should have said.

    All circle jigs use a screw or a point as a centre pivot. I prefer to use a screw because I find that points very often pop out of the centre.
    This can lead to some foul utterances and wasted timber.

    I haven't seen that Jasper gear on this side of the big pond - looks good and a fair price. You should check that their accessories will fit your router's baseplate configuration before buying.

    i made myself a real handy one before got a piece of 6mm mdf and drilled a hole in the centre of it to suit a guide bush i had. that acts as a fast way to locate router. then i attached a small block of wood with a hole drilled in it to accept threaded bar. a nut either side ot the threaded bar through the hole holds it in place and then a similar block at other end with a dowel/ pin in it to locate on centre point. does the job and is infinitely adjustable :)
