Filter disc, cut to what size?
    #14247359 - 04/06/11 01:11 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

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've been using a quarter to trace and get 7-8 filtesr per disc, and works perfectly fine for me..

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