Just dedicate a utility knife to the location, cut from middle out to each end.

+1 on the utility knife.

Hi Guys - I agree and have 3 or 4 utility knives, but would like a more inventive option -

For example, thinking of something on hinges attached to the oak hangers and held up by magnets, then pulled down when needed to cut the paper - have a long thin piece of AL and also a bunch of hacksaw blades - will post if it happens or just use a utility knife or one of those zip cutters?  Dave

I have to thank you for the paper idea I have always used newspaper, cardboard or ply.  I have paper on order should be here next week.  I am going to hang it on a dowel and makeshift some type of hooks to hold a piece of steel across the sheet that also hangs on the dowel just a bit wider to use as a straight to tear off of.  I figure it will start out high on the roll and lower as the roll gets smaller

If you rip a piece of your scrap oak with a 45* beveled edge resting on the roll, it’ll most likely be sharp enough to cut.

Melamine would be even better.  A clean cut on melamine almost requires Kevlar gloves.  It can be as sharp as a chisel.

I do the same thing.  I also have a utility knife hanging by it to cut it.

I think the Zippy Cutter would work even better.

I found the 5 Piece was just $2 more then a singe one.  Go figure.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
