Neat idea. I would have turned the clamps around (handle to the back) and put the end clamp inside the roll. That keeps it out of the way and gives a positive clamp. The outside of the roll isn't going anywhere the inside isn't going.
Probably could place a thin piece of wood under the roll. There is a gap between the blade and the roll before you start cutting. About 3/8 of an inch. Then you would be able to cut it in one pass. Also if you blue tape the paper to the wood you would not need the clamps. Good video!
Once unrolled, do you recall if the paper edge was fuzzy or a sharp cut? Did dust inject itself in the interior side any? Thanks for posting this, I realize my questions have come years later.
is there an official way to cut a roll? do print shops do it? lucky me found three rolls of 24" wide epson premium semi gloss rolls (for inkjet, amazingly not solvent), would love to have them cut to 13 inch wide so I can do 13x19s, and then 11x17s on the other half.
It was asked before by someone else and I'll ask again because you didn't answer the other person. What size miter saw/blade did you use? I assume the one in the video is a 10" saw and the new one you just bought is a 12" saw. Hence, does a 12" saw cut all the way through in one pass?
This appears to be the best way to cut a roll of seamless. A bigger blade would have helped I guess. Do you still recommend using a table saw for cutting seamless or have you found a better method?
A table saw I think would be a bit awkward. I have a bigger miter saw now that works better. The I've I used had a smaller than normal blade. Miter saw is probably the easiest method as long as everything is well supported.
Would've never thought to do this! Was looking for a tool to cut rolls of film.. Have you tried raising the roll closer to the blade so you can cut it without having to rotate? That extra inch closer to the blade may help!
The miter saw I cut that with was an 8 1/4" blade. It's an old saw and most miter saws now are 10" or 12" except for some cordless ones. I got a bigger miter saw since i made this video and I don't have to rotate it.
Perfect! I have a 12” double bevel miter that slides. I’m about to trim my 9’ down for my new basement studio. Thanks.
Great thank you. I have a mitre saw and wondered if I could use it for this.
Glad I could help
@@Sarkiko It’s worked brilliantly, thank you ☺️
Thanks man.. Just what I was looking for.. great vid
You're welcome!

This is very useful. Can you mention the (a) Roll diameter (b) Blade dia & (c) Blade type used .

Couldn't cut it in one pass because the blade diameter was too small, the saw was hitting the roll before the blade was all the way through.
I think I needed to sorry the other end higher to get rid of the gap. This was a smaller than normal saw and the motor kept hitting the roll.

Cut was clean. I don't recall regarding dust.
Thank you; this is the first thing I should have thought of.
You're welcome glad I could help.
Do you have any problems with dust on the paper when you unroll it

Great job thanks
You're welcome
Very nice work, now I just need to figure out how I get a saw.
Ha ha ha

Actually this was less than 10". I don't have it anymore. Can't remember if it was 7.25" or 8.25". It was circular saw sized blades.
Have you ever tried doing this with kraft paper rolls? I'm looking to source 2 in wide rolls and it's nearly impossible to find!
Should be similar. Try but be careful. I would make sure roll is kept tight with tape, every thing is stable and securely clamped including the saw.
@@Sarkiko I'll give it a try. Thanks!
I cut craft vinyl rolls for plotter cutter successfully with hacksaw and cable ties. You can check it out out on my channel.

Turn the dam clamp to the side. lol Driving me nuts over here watching that saw hit the clamp every time. #RepairmanProblems
Yeah I know.... This was the first time I ever tried to cut it with the miter saw. Could have done some things better. :)
Can you use metal cutting disk
Its helpful ❤️❤️

It would be extremely dangerous to raise the roll off the deck. It could jump and cause all sorts of bad things to happen...
Hello, What blade did you use?
I believe it was a finer tooth blade. The tire I would use for cutting trim work.
A blade for pvc or plastic would do it perfect 👌
My people are here. It is sad to announce that i need to cut my 9ft into 7ft. Goodluck to me ❤
