How to Cut a Plate

There are many ways to make circular holes and other shapes on a plate. The Mighty-Mini Globe-O-Former comes with 10 plates for you to make a variety of domes, hemisphers and odd shaped openings.

	For circular holes a small compass is best. Substitute a second point for the pencil lead. Divide your circle in half and set the compass points to that dimension. Slowly scribe into the plastic.
Carefully work the scribe cut with a #11 blade — a dull one. Cutting with the back of the blade is best.
	Using a straightedge, cut a cross into the circle, taking care not to disturb the circular cut.
Use the #11 blade as a drill to open the center hole. You now have 4 wedges.
	Push the wedges through. Finish the edges of the hole.
