Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: Homebrew PCBs

I also have a big harbor freight shear that I use for PCB's etc.

On it's first use, cast iron(?) base broke. I was able to weld it( if
you are careful, cast iron can be mig
repaired even though many people spout rhetoric otherwise. ) I realized
that the shearing angle of the cutter
edge was not enough to create a scissoring action to get the cut
started. I shimmed the table
to increase the angle and it has been a pleasure to use ever since. -Lee
