I'm making a round wooden frame and need to true the outer edge to create a perfect circle and prepare the edge for sanding. I've already trued the inner circle, so I'm taking advantage of that, and with a couple of bearings, I'll show you a trick to get the outer circle just right.
The idea behind this woodworking trick is to support the inside of the wooden frame against two bearings that are screwed onto the tabletop of the router table. This way, I can push the outer edge of the frame against the router bit and rotate it, trimming the same amount all around. It's similar to using a pattern bit with a bearing and a template.
Check out my homemade jig for truing the inner circle with a palm router:

Do you know how to read caliper scales?
