We did one as a group buy which I designed. I have zero feedback from the participants and cannot comment if it did work as intended on their routers (most were Bosch POF1400 ones). I can confirm it works great on the DeWalt DW625 router and is accurate down to the 1/10 of a mm.
If you think you can adapt it, I will gladly send you the design files - they`re CAD files for routing so you just need to find a CNC company to machine one from 4mm aluminium or steel.

Will upload them over here later today. Perhaps we could improve it a bit
Oh I would love that!
Do you know if they work with Triton routers?
I might be able to produce a very small amount at my university.
I've used one for over a decade and still love it... I am concerned that one day the paint will wear off but it has already paid for itself a long time ago.
I have a Jasper jig and find it very cumbersome to use, but also have this one, it is continuously adjustable and much easier to use than the Jasper jig:

2 minor caveats with that Milescraft circle cutting jig:
1 -The pivot pin that came with mine had a smaller diameter than the pivot hole, so it can wobble a little. No biggie, I found an old drill bit that fit exactly into the pivot hole and used that for a pivot pin.
2: The scale is not super accurate, probably OK for carpenter level work, but for precise diameter setting use a tape measure or metal ruler to set it exactly.
I still MUCH prefer it over the Jasper jig.
