Need to cut an 1.5" X into 96 tennis balls. (To attach to classroom
chair legs, if you must know ;-)
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 ??
Know anybody with a bandsaw?

I think the school has one, but would still be concerned about fingers.
Probably the safest way if done right.Â* You use a push stick behind it.
Safer that a hand held knife.
Guide and push stick, safe and fast.
Not sure how well a push stick would control a round ball. Maybe if I
created a custom shaped stick ??
