Subject: Cutting FR4

From: Steve <steve65@...>
Date: 2008-10-10

What are good ways to cut FR4 to a desired size and shape? Often times I
need square or rectangular shapes, but occasionally I need an offset or
or otherwise odd shape.

A project I am working on now has a 6in X 8in X 1/16in piece of FR4 into
which I need to make several cutouts (holes) that are 1.2in square. Any
advice as to how to make such holes?

I have the usual hand tools, but am not adverse to acquiring additional
gadgetry.

Thanks.

Steve
