Default Cutting into a tennis ball

Need to cut an 1.5" X into 96 tennis balls. (To attach to classroom

So far, a box cutter is not getting it done, neither a small "cutting"
wheel from a dremel kit

Best so far is with ball held in a vise, and using a miter box saw to
cut 2 1.5" slits in ball to form X. But this is a bit tedious for 96 x 2
cuts.

Thought of a table saw, but fingers would be too close to blade for my
comfort

Tried looking for a dremel type cutter that would go in a drill motor,
but haven't seen anything I want to pay for if it does not work any
better than miter saw.

Any suggestions ??


Wait till school starts up again and then make it a classroom learning
experience for the little tykes.

Teach them a little practical problem solving and useful life skills
instead of filling their heads with the politically correct drivel that
makes up so much of today's curricula...
