Cutting circuit boards.

[J. Larry Hendry]

Yes Rob, I did try this today and was amazed.  It would not be the first
choice for cutting a bunch of boards out of a larger sheet.  BUT, it is
wonderful for taking a chunk out of one.  I got another tip from Tony Clark
that a belt sander can be used.  That would be cool for that dressing the
edge after it is cut or shaving off just a little.

This is a great list.
