Paper Roll Perforators
By Todd Augsburger

In reading the rather lengthy discussion on Paper Roll Perforators, in which all but a few have, like me, wonderful ideas but no solid achievements, I ask the following:

Has anyone considered, or tried, actually cutting, instead of punching, the rolls? I am thinking of something akin to the vinyl cutters used by my local print shop. They are capable of cutting various thicknesses, even of such things as a thin wood veneer, under computer control. Wouldn't they be useable/adaptable to paper rolls? They wouldn't be extremely fast, and only one layer at a time, but would make uniform cuts with good repeatability. Comments? I can drop by the printers and ask better questions if anyone is interested.
