[sdiy] tiny pcbs?

[Jerry Gray-Eskue]

Metal shears, Tin Snips, and even Paper Cutters with the big lever blade
work.
Keep in mind that FRB is very abrasive and may dull your blades.

A jigsaw or bandsaw works pretty well, and it's what I do when I want an
irregular shape, but there's an even better way for straight cuts: score
both sides with a scoring blade and snap.

Lining up the cuts on two sides can be tricky, but if you mark it accurately
and score along a ruler you can get very straight lines with much less dust.
