There are two things to cut.  The first is the metal.  I bought the cheapest=
 one Aircraft Spruce sells.  It's red anodized and is OK if you're not openi=
ng oil filters on a daily basis.  I'd buy it again but the worst thing is th=
at the cutting disk does not have a threaded stud but rather uses one of tho=
se one way retainer washers that tries to grip a smooth shaft.  The first fe=
w times I used it, the washer would walk up the shaft and come off.  Seems t=
o have settled in now.

The other cutter is for the element.  I am not impressed with the one I boug=
ht from AC Spruce.  It's a Matt knife attached to a handle with semi circula=
r guide to try to steer the blade through the accordion pleats of the elemen=
t.  Maybe a sharp box cutter would be just as good, because the pleats get a=
ll caught up in the blade, the blade goes too deep and jams on the metal etc=
 etc.
