A YouTuber has shown how you can cut through wood or plastic using just two sheets of normal A4 paper.

He stuck two sheets of paper together and cut out a small circle from it and then attached it to a device that could rotate it.

As the paper rotates centrifugal force (inertial makes its particles move outwards. This is what makes it rigid enough to cut through wood or plastic.
