Nice design. Is it your design? You're moving in the right direction. Are you using a spiral blade? My preference for circles is a flat blade because it's easier to control and leaves less fuzz to deal with. Also if you stack cut thin wood you will be able to control the cuts more. It took me a while before I figured it out.

As Dan said the circle is a hard cut.I cut the circle with a right hand turn. for me using a right hand turn if I very off the line it is into the salvage, and a left hand turn on the inside the variation is usually into the salvage try both ways one will work better than the other. I hope I made that clear. any way you are on your way. keep it up.

Ron just bear in mind the lines are a guide you need to run the wood smoothly through the blade so make sure the saw table is nice and smooth no rust.

You can use candle wax I use WD40 silicone spray on mine also vibration on the saw can be a big factor to a not so smooth cut. keep at it , practice,practice practice.Roly
