Repeatedly cutting 44mm circles from paper I'm making badges, so need to cut 44mm circles out of photo paper.
I'm currently using sharp scissors and being careful, but that obviously takes a fair amount of time, and doesn't give perfect circles.
The kit came with a circle cutter, but it has no way of gripping, so just slides around the paper giving ovals!
I've seen various compass type cutters, but I don't want to put a hole in the middle.
Are there any devices or techniques I'm missing?
If you can provide links and/or images, my answer can be adjusted, but at first thought, consider the following.
For compass style cutters:
The pivot of the cutter could be attached to a metal disk or to a magnet. The size and shape of the disk or magnet would be dependent on the structure of the pivot.
If the pivot is a magnet, the underlying surface should be metal, but you'd want a cutting mat between the paper and the metal sheet.
If the pivot is a metal disk, the magnet should be embedded in a wood surface or if the magnet is thin enough, cut a matching recess in the cutting mat or equivalent.
