30 and 50mm cutters

[Huang Da Wei]

Does anyone know where I can get a cutter that will do 30 and 50mm circles? I have printed off the markers/tokens froms Rattys page on some lovely high end paper and want to cut them out and stick onto mdf. I just need to get perfect circles from the paper.

Olfa makes some great circle cutters with variable radius:

Here is a UK web address where you can order one

(pretty sure you can get them in a lot of different places).

Thanks, I am hoping to find something like a hole punch if they exist

You could always try a hole saw. Glue the paper to the mdf. Then cut the whole thing

I've looked everywhere for that sort of thing. The closest I could find was a 20mm punch. Anything bigger meant buying a die cutter and all the dies were US made and so imperial sized and didn't match up with the 30,40 and 50mm that I wanted.

I am off to China next month for business trip, if I find something like that I will bring extra ones home. I buy my 30mm felt rings to put on the base of my models, they must have some sort of cutter.

There are punches in pretty much any size. You just need a wooden block and a hammer to use them

They tend to be on the expensive side though

Nice idea but a bit heavy going for 240g paper

With a punch like those I linked you can glue the paper to card stock, and punch it out all together
