I need to cut a 12 in diameter circle in a piece of q/2 in plywood with a jigsaw. It will form a lip for a bucket so don’t need a jig to get the circle perfect, but do want to leave as clean an edge as possible (bucket is embedded in potting bench and will be put in and out often).
What type of blade should I use in the jigsaw? Any other advice/tips?
Thanks in advance

Do you have a disk sander? If so, cut it slightly oversize with a jigsaw and trim to the line with the sander.
Other hints for reducing chipout include, masking tape over the cut line, scoring with a knife prior to cutting and wetting the surface veneer prior to cutting.
