It is boards that was pulled from the stars:D . It is a white plastic material like they use in boats and it makes great cutting boards. It has a slight pebble finish and things will slide on it very easy

Bandsaw Circle Jig

Sawmill noted that he found a jig for himself but thought I would still share these that work for me. One with the plexiglass slide was from Shopnotes Vol 15 I believe and the plans can still be purchased online if you don't have access to the magazine. The other with the dowel was a modification from who knows where. I used a fixed distance for the dowel to cut a two inch wheel that is finished on the lathe. The board with clamp in photo three and four is used as a stop when pushing the square block into the blade. Either of these can be sized for use on the cast iron table. Also look at your PTWFE bandsaw section where a simple circle cutting jig is discussed.

So I made a simple one to serve my porpoises of the day- making discs of from 2 to 23" diameter, accurately and repeatably.
On hand: one pi...
and I belatedly realized that the 'sled' can be moved to the Main table and used for finish sanding as is, with the conical disc.
Ah, so, something more to play with...

1. there's a bar from an old miter gauge
2. base (scrap pw)
3. slider (scrap hardwood)
4. nail (pivot pin)
5. C clamp (hold the unit on the band saw - not shown in pic)
6. spring clamp (to keep the slider from moving - not shown in pic)
And it's easy as can be to put it on the table and use with the disk sander too. The smallest circle I've made was a 5" diameter.
Very neat idea thanks for sharing! I am going to use that one also
