> So I called a contractor friend today who lives nearby to use one of his chop saws. No luck. All three were miles from here on job sites. But, he offered to cut it on his radial arm saw. He didn't have a large enough blade to do it in one pass. He had to roll the paper and take three passes, but we used a stop block clamped to the table and got a very smooth and clean cut. No problems at all and it took just a few minutes. Now I'm ready to print.
>> I've got a roll of PhotoRag I want to cut. I seem to recall someone mentioning how they did this quite a while ago. Is a bandsaw the best tool to use? Or a table saw? I can use either, but just wondered what experiences others have had when doing this.

That's the way I do it on the DeWalt here. An end stop large enough to 
allow the roll to rotate against, the circle saw fixed just deep enough 
to cut the core carton wall and then turning the roll against the 
rotating direction of the saw. Of course first tape around the roll at 
the spot it will be cut off.
