[sdiy] Cutting PCBs

[Nicholas Gregorich]

What do board houses use to cut boards? I really began to appreciate 
services that offer depanelization after I tried cutting PCBs myself. I 
ended up using a band saw at work which was hard to control and felt 
really unsafe. I sanded the edges to even them out.

A nice feature of the LPKF prototyping machines is that they will route 
the outline of the board making depanelization really easy. Perhaps this 
similar to what a board house does?
