    Thank you, Jim, for relating real-world experience. A great simple solution, and I appreciate your ideas on how to accomplish cutting a larger roll. See my post #34 just prior to yours. It shows a...

    CHECK THIS OUT!

    It's not wide enough, but is very much what I tried to describe in my post above. WOW! :eek:

  3. Thanks a LOT for your in-depth and very helpful...

    Thanks a LOT for your in-depth and very helpful reply, Jimmy. I know a lot more now thanks to your efforts. Member Roger Wiegand in post #19 suggested trying to find a local source who might be...
  4. Thanks, Lee. To your point, I cleaned built-up...

    Thanks, Lee. To your point, I cleaned built-up pitch from the 80-tooth blade, but did NOT sharpen it. I convinced myself that it felt "sharp enough" and probably caused the issues described. ...

    ere.

    I was able to accomplish sawing the roll of paper in half, converting a 48-1/4" roll into two rolls, each slightly longer than 24 inches.

    I tightly wrapped the rolled paper at its...
  6. Thanks for sharing your real-world experience. ...

    Thanks for sharing your real-world experience. Good to know, and I'll bet the basic Combination Blade currently mounted on my table saw would do just fine. Still, I will sharpen my "80-tooth,...

    Thanks, Bruce. I thinking duct tape adhesive might be "gooey". Painter's Tape is dryer and seems like the better choice. But per your suggestion, I will wrap the tape outside the plastic wrapper.
  8. Thanks, Richard. I intend to tightly wrap the...

    Thanks, Richard. I intend to tightly wrap the outer cellophane wrapper with painter's tape at the cut line.
  9. Thank you, Roger. Per your suggestion, I just...

    Thank you, Roger. Per your suggestion, I just found what appears to be the only real Printer here. Just left voice mail asking if they might have a slitter or other means. If not, I think I can get...
  10. Turning lemons into lemonade. :D That hand-torn...

    Turning lemons into lemonade. :D That hand-torn effect is called a deckled edge. I don't think saw-cut fuzz is gonna "cut it" (pun!) as a deckled edge, but I'm a big fan of looking for ways to...
  11. I think cutting a narrow slice at the end would...

    I think cutting a narrow slice at the end would be very different (a lot less stable) than cutting at the center of the roll.

    Lee, that outstanding Naval Academy training wasn't wasted on you. :D Great suggestions, and you answered the circular-saw-blade question, to boot! I've made good use of V-channels under...
  13. Thanks, Stan, but I'm not the most accurate guy...

    Thanks, Stan, but I'm not the most accurate guy with a hand saw. ANY variance in terms of perpendicularity with the saw blade will result in a mildly wavey paper edge. The alternating angles will...
  14. Good question, George. In reference to my...

    Good question, George.

    In reference to my current half-used roll of paper, it's actually wider than 48" by about a quarter inch. I'm hoping to that'll be the case for every roll I purchase. If...
  15. Good, good, good suggestions, Jim. Thanks. Our...

    Good, good, good suggestions, Jim. Thanks. Our posts are leapfrogging one another. Your latest reply arrived while I was replying to your initial comment. And thanks for pointing out the need for...
  16. Amen, Jim! I've cut a lot of PVC pipe on the...

    Amen, Jim! I've cut a lot of PVC pipe on the table saw, and the rotation you warn of can be a bugger. :D

    If I make my "sacrificial straight edge" the full 48" width, I could put clamps into the...

    Thanks for quick reply, Andrew.
    It would take a bandsaw with a monstrous 24" throat. ;)
    No crosscut sled and no miter saw here.
    Ergo, my thoughts and questions as expressed.
  18. Crosscutting a ROLL OF PAPER (on cardboard tube) on the table saw

    What type saw blade do you guys suggest? I'm seeking the cleanest cut possible, and will have to choose from several 10" table saw blades on hand. None are exotic, so hopefully something "basic"...
  19. I'm trying to use what I have on hand, or keep my...

    I'm trying to use what I have on hand, or keep my methods as inexpensive and simple as possible. I take your point, but this YouTube link makes me think J-B Weld is sufficient for installing my...

    SIX BUX?!

    =O That's amazingly inexpensive. SawmillCreek.org has always been a great source of woodworking information, well worth supporting. And yeah, the benefits you outline are indeed...

    There's some built-in inaccuracy, but I think my measurements suggest about a .005" press fit. So I take your remarks as a confirmation and encouragement (tell me if I'm wrong).

    Absolutely. Hard lessons, but as a result, I've learned more about Stratocaster guitars in the past two months than most Strat owners/players will ever know. And yeah, assuming I get everything...

    Ha! Count me IN!



    I should have included a photo of the metal anchor from the start.

    And here's a link to the bridge in question with associated parts, including the anchors
  24. Thanks, guys. Stewart-Macdonald is a...

    Thanks, guys.

    Stewart-Macdonald is a well-known retailer of guitar parts and tools. The Stew-Mac product page for the bridge I'm installing says, "use a 3/8" drill for the 2-point post anchors." ...

    Thanks for the helpful, informative replies.

    Milling machines (that weigh more than my car, ha) are not an option. I had a small SIEG X3 mill that I sold two years ago. Never thought about using...
