        I think you misread the post.  There wasn't a suggestion to cut 
the circle with a tablesaw (which would be pretty tricky, and 
dangerous).  Instead, the suggestion was to cut an arch in the back of 
the circle, so the circle would fit against the tube better.  This is a 
reasonably safe procedure.
