Subject: Re: cutting SMALL! PCB's

Hi Greg,

My $0.02...

Since your strips are only a 0.1" wide, you'll want a method that
minimizes waste.

A sheet metal shear would be ideal. Harbor Freight has one that
will handle 8" wide, 1/16" thick material for around $125.

I've tried numerous methods for cutting 1/16" copper clad and none
were as accurate, clean, and easy as the shear...

I cut some scraps to a similar size for someone who was using them
for model railroad ties.

Regards,
Dennis
