The first roll was on 2" thick newspaper roll with PVC shaft. Windlass 15th century longsword.

The second roll was on 2.5" thick newspaper roll with PVC shaft, Deva Slayer. The shaft was unable to support the momentum of impact and bent. The cutting stand's pipe was also broken under Deva Slayer's attacks.

Hmm..that seems like a cool way to make a tatami-substitute really cheap :D. Thanks Chan.

Another try, unfixed newspapers rolls this time, with Deva Slayer using a new cutting mechanism I've learned from my master. Largely successful!

My tries on horizontal cuts. The 3 cuts were successful but it was very challenging.
