Looking for older thread on how to cut xray film to 4x5

I have done several searches but cannot find a thread on the method to cut 8x10 xray film to 4x5.
I am almost sure I read one hear???

I'm sure a roller cutter or even a guillotine is the best option, but quite frankly, I just mark 4x5 frames on a sheet and use a pair of scissors. ..

If you use a guillotine cutter there's a good chance that you'll have to get it sharpened.
I think that it cost me around $30.00 for mine, and was one of the smartest things I could have done.

I use a cutting board with a rolling blade that I put some thick tape on for two dimensions.

Lengthwise the cut needs to be particularly exact, otherwise one sheet will overlap the stop under the bottom flap.

Thanks for the link. There were some others also. I have tried searching, "cutting xray film" , using xray flim, cutting 8x10 xray film and a few others but no real good results. There was a thread where the discussion was how to cut the film and what "cutter" to use. There were also some threads on how to shot xray film..
