Take 15 minutes and build a jig, well worth the time and effort for a nice clean cut!
Or pick up a 1-1/4" PVC T fitting and be done in seconds. Also damned cheap to get and easy to use.

Yeah, that's the key to the whole thing. You have to let the disc do the cutting and not try to force it. If you force it you will go through disc after disc.

I had a disc explode on me once and a piece hit me just below the eye. I don't take chances anymore. I always wear protective equipment while working in my shop. As for ear protection I come from a family of masons and most of them can't hear very well now that they are older. This from using powertools and brick saws with no hearing protection. Consider the cost of emergency room vs cost of safety gear and the gear wins everytime.
Gloves and long sleevs are not to be used with power tools. Metel shop 101. Both can get cought and do so real damage to you nd your tools. Hence why shop worker wear 3/4 sleeves.
Also, I just made a circle with a sharpie and went for it. My only regret is that I cut it out to about 14", and now I cant find a lid that'll fit it. Guess Ill have to make one.

Can you give a little more detail on how to utilize this? I'm having a hard time envisioning it. Thanks
