Cutting Tool

Cutting Tool
I need to cut a 50″ diameter cycle from a 2 mm thick 55″ squareplastic film. What kind of cutting tool?

How to make sure we will have a perfect round and smooth cut?

A router with a circle cutting guide can help you do this. But I would put a piece of wood under the plastic to make it a little stronger while you make the cut. This is a power tool and can be expensive if you just need to do this once.

Since its just 2mm you could possibly make a simple circle guide using a yard stick (maybe they call them meter sticks where you live) and some type of sharp knife like an exacto. Put a nail at one end of the yard stick for a pivot point to be placed in the center of your circle. Then drill a hole 25 inches from the nail to hold the knife. Slowly spin the whole thing around the circle cutting as you go. Make multiple passes if you need, cutting a little deeper each time.
