I have drawn a simple circle,then applied 'Effect > ZigZag', then applied 'Effect > Twirl'. I have my desired shape but how can I convert this shape to vector, for import into sign cutting? When I view this in the 'Preview' mode, the original circle is visible.

Seems that applying the filters have no real effect on the original shape.

select your shape & pull down "object" choose "expand"

After you have your desired shape from adding the filter and have it selected...under the OBJECTS...select EXPAND APPEARANCES...this will vectorise your new shape.
Enjoy...
