Cannot be used as a circle cutting guide. BE AWARE

Cannot be used as a circle cutting guide. BE AWARE
I bought this item just over a month ago. Finally decided to open it up and give it a shot for cutting a circle out of some mdf. You are supposed to remove the three screws here, and thread a pivot pin into one of the holes and then attach it to your router and make your cuts. However, the screws stripped like tissue paper. A little screwdriver plowed through all three of these screws, not one would come loose. So in a way, it almost made a perfect circle, just inside the screws and not in the wood. So, in this regard, wow does it suck.
