I'm following noobies lid tek and I have the 1/2inch and 3/8 holes drilled with a forester bit. I now need to cut my synthetic filter discs. What should I use as a guide to make a circle? A quarter? or anyone have any suggestions on how to trace out the right size and cut them? I have the 90mm wide mouth synthetic discs.

Good question. Most people recommend 1/4" hole. I am going to cut my disc to about 1/2" mini discs, to allow a greater surface area for air exchange and only leave a 1/4" actual hole on the lid. What are you using to cut the discs?

I use the cutting attachment disk on my dremel tool for a stencil. I get 5-6 per 100mm SFD.
