    Regarding using a disc cutter, if you don't have a hydraulic press,
    a vise works great.  The bigger the better.  Similar to the  C-clamp
    idea, it stops the pressure when the cutter has cut through the
    sheet.  Large vises are quite cheap through supply houses like
    Harbor Freight, etc. and you can use them on the biggest discs you
    need to cut.  Make sure the cutter assembly is "balanced" evenly  in
    the vise jaws so it won't come out when applying pressure.   Use
    your safety glasses! ---Jay Whaley UCSD Craft Center
