Hello,
I need to make a wooden "wheel", with a diameter of about 3 inches. It needs to be made from wood of approximately 1/2 inch thickness. I don't want to use a jigsaw, because I want the edges to be cleaner than I can get with my handheld jigsaw.

I'm thinking of using a drill press with a circle cutting attachment. In the latest Rockler catalog, I see such a circle cutting attachment, and I'd like to know whether anyone has an opinion as to the quality that I can get from using such a device on a drill press.

Another part of this issue pertains to the drill press itself. I don't have a drill press, but I've been considering the Delta 12 inch 1/3 HP benchtop model at Lowe's. I don't have the room for a floor standing model.

Does anyone have an opinion as to not only whether this circle cutting attachment will do what I'm trying to accomplish, but also whether this fairly low powered Delta drill press would be adequate for the job?
