There are tools to make it easier to cut things like that:

So, I have an EK 1.5" circular punch and tried it out on V60 filters. First I tried one layer and, as I suspected, it tore partially instead of cutting neatly. Then I got similar results with two layers. Then when I tried 4 layers (two stacked full filters), I got a neat sharp cut.

For the filters at the bottom you can get Whatman 597 filters in 55mm for a great fit. I'm not sure about the top, yet.

It would be good if I have a big portafilter, but mine is 54mm on the top and 2inches on the bottom

It looks like Whatman Grade 4 filters are available in 50mm, which should fit perfectly!

I ordered the filters at 1st I thought they were a little too thick but they're perfect, the filter fits in portafilter bought the 5.5cm the flow rate is great does not affect crema and the filter remains unbroken. it will disintegrate after use.
