Paper can be amazingly abrasive so you'll need to use tooling like you'd use
for cutting FR4 PCB material or carbon fiber. To clamp the stack your ring will
need to go right up to the edge of where you're making the hole to avoid
ripping up the top sheets.
If you're doing a large number of these, all the same size hole, I'd first hog
out the hole undersize then have each side of the hole guillotine cut with a
blade the exact length of that side. Of course then you need to come up with
the blades, a guillotine cutting machine, or a shop with one that will allow
mounting custom blades. Then there's setting stops or making jigs to position
the paper stack for each cut.
If you're just doing one, make a clamp plate with a hole the right size, figure
out how to make it adjust for different thicknesses while also being easy to
move away and return with precision. Then get busy cutting with a razor knife
and a large supply of blades. Perhaps a Nack Knife.

Subject: Re: [Emc-users] O.T.: Machining paper stack
Thanks for the replies.
I am looking to cut a window in a stack of already bound paper. I am
contemplating clamping the stack and cutting a pocket in it with a mill.
Just wondering if anybody had done it before.
