Choosing the right Jasper Circle Guide starts with two simple questions:
the router you’re using, and the size of the circles you need to cut.
This guide will help you choose the correct Jasper model based on how the system is designed to work — so you get accurate results without guesswork.

### 3. Choose the Jasper system that matches your setup
#### Compact & Cordless Fixed-Base Routers
For compact routers, Jasper offers two precision guides depending on the circle size you need.
• **Jasper 290**
Designed for small to medium circles where exact diameter fit matters, such as speaker cutouts.
• **Jasper 390**
Designed for larger circles using compact routers, offering expanded range while maintaining accuracy.

#### Full-Size Plunge Routers
For full-size plunge routers, Jasper provides two guides matched by capacity.
• **Jasper 200**
Designed for small to medium circles where precision is critical.
• **Jasper 300+ XLC**
Designed for larger circles, panels, and furniture components using full-size plunge routers.

#### Festool Plunge Routers
Festool routers use a dedicated Jasper SE system engineered specifically for Festool integration.
• **Jasper 2000 SE**
Professional-grade guide for small to medium precision circles using Festool plunge routers.
• **Jasper 3000 SE**
Professional-grade guide for larger circles and panels within the Festool system.

### 4. Standard vs PRO Versions (Non-Festool Models)
Most Jasper circle guides are available in Standard and PRO versions.
**Standard Version**
Designed for most woodworking and speaker-building projects, offering the same accuracy and results Jasper is known for.
**PRO Version**
Made from premium polycarbonate for maximum durability and long working life — ideal for frequent use, demanding shop environments, or anyone who wants a virtually unbreakable tool.
Festool SE guides are professional-grade by design and do not have Standard or PRO versions.
